What makes life most difficult is the media intrusion, ... I think the public has gotten more and more greedy for the intimate details of their lives. These people are exposed to scrutiny 24 hours a day. We feel we have a right to know. We feel it's in the public interest. Even pop stars get more privacy. We just want to know every last detail. They are living in a goldfish bowl. And it never goes away.

Dan Senor

We're going to do a real investigation here, spend some substantial, significant time with him getting to the bottom of what happened and how he escaped.

Anne Mills

Historians will look back on this period of time following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita as a defining moment for both our state and nation.

Mike Doherty

What they've done here is incredible. They kept the Frank Lloyd Wright facade. And they kept a great number of guest rooms the same. They redid everything, of course, but when they built hotels in 1956 they built big guest rooms. They kept the concrete block and just put in the new retro stuff. Even when I was here the historical society was constantly visiting, wanting to know what we were doing and wanting to make sure we kept the place intact.

Kim Bauer

Jan Adams

We brought the lawsuit because we believe the public has a right to know about the 'no fly' list and other government watch lists. And we succeeded in doing so by making public hundreds of pages of documents that not only confirmed the existence of the 'no fly' list, but exposed many of the serious problems with the secret list. Only by informed public debate can we make our government accountable and our country safer.

Roger Williams

We're going to have to see Bob Kennedy's 4-H card before we can let him enter this. I think he's let his membership expire. And another thing - he had a secretary from the office carry that tree in here. He didn't carry it in himself, so how do we know it's his? And even if those two things don't disqualify him, our 'ugly' rule would knock him out of the competition, anyway.

Kandyse McClure

I'd love a werebear. But I guess you need that seductive element of danger. And though bears can be dangerous, when you say werebear it just sounds kind of cuddly. Probably has a rainbow on his belly.

But then she was not awkward, she was slow-flowing, graceful, seductive - a seductiveness that had nothing to do with breast and hips and legs, but was an invitation to forget the world in the recesses of the body

Johnathan Frakes

Dan Rooney

We're so thrilled to bring (a championship) back to Pittsburgh.

J. Hoover

What this country needs is a great poem. John Brown's Body was a step in the right direction. I've read it once, and I'm reading it again. But it's too long to do what I mean. You can't thrill people in 300 pages.

David Dowd

When we got the call yesterday to be available and to be in the position to perform the ceremony, it was a great thrill and a lot of fun,

United is thrilled to be able to come out to Payne Elementary to kick off the start of our fourth season of United Reads.

Bee Wilson

Years ago, during a John Grisham phase, I tried to pinpoint exactly why I found Grisham's often predictable legal thrillers quite so comforting. The best answer I could come up with was the frequency with which Grisham tells us that his lead characters are sipping coffee. When it comes to food and drink, predictability can console.

Harold Ramis

Plus I'm not so sure Bill was wildly enthusiastic about putting the suit on again,

Gwen Ifill

Nobody does commercial TV out of the goodness of their heart. There has to be a market-driven financial incentive, an economic imperative. Katie was wildly successful for so long, she created a market incentive. It made economic sense for CBS.

Karl Schroeder

If I want to speculate wildly about the future, I have my science fiction. Anybody who tells you they can predict the future is either crazy or lying.

Mariella Frostrup

Had Elizabeth Bennet known how wildly Darcy's heart beat for her, 'Pride and Prejudice' would barely have made it into a short story. Their torturously slow-burning romance is a classic example of how men and women still struggle to communicate the most basic of emotions.

Rob Sheffield

Hardly anyone liked R.E.M. who didn't like them way too much, so part of being an R.E.M. fan meant getting wildly overinvested and then feeling vaguely disappointed by whatever they did next.
