We're just now realizing how badly off the economy was in the second quarter, ... The wider trade gap, along with the weakness we saw in the business inventory numbers that came out this week and weaker construction spending, will probably result in a second-quarter revised GDP number that will be zero or even slightly negative. It will be an eye-opening number, but it's no more worrisome than what we've seen.

He composed himself, looked the players straight in the eye and he said, 'I'm sorry that you had to see my emotional side, but that's the way I am and I expect the same out of you. I want you to play with emotion and passion.' And I think the message was very well received.

My team and I used the actual footage to create a three-act story of the life of Ayrton Senna. There are no talking heads and no voiceover. Senna narrates his own epic, dramatic, thrilling journey.

Wayne Coyne

We remixed them in 5.1, which doesn't sound like much, but let me tell you it's really a crazy, complicated thing to take these things that you did almost 15 years ago and revisit 'em in this format that only became available a couple years ago. A lot of bands can't do that because they don't have their own recordings. But we've always recorded ourselves, so it's a matter of me just going to the back room and grabbing the tapes and sort of putting them back on the reel. It's a weird treat.

Richard Bennett

We're going to experiment with different ad formats ... find out what they'll tolerate.

Peter Gabriel

We wrote a little manifesto with just some ideas on how this digital revolution could transform music-making itself, and that is the part that people have generally ignored so far.

Jeff Zucker

We believe we have a youthful and energetic cast that should appeal to a new audience that is increasingly comfortable with this downloadable format as a viewing option.

Universal looked for the ideal format for the delivery of high-definition content and found VC-1 to offer the quality that we needed for our titles.

With the incredible 'Friends' television series and DVD phenomenon, many people have watched episodes countless times and have become experts, so it was natural to create an accessible and exciting videogame that could challenge their knowledge, ...

Clive Davis

Unplugged debuting at number one is yet another amazing milestone achievement for Alicia, ... That makes it three in a row -- three out of three. You just can't beat that! What makes it extra special is the live format of Unplugged for the true musician -- the public really has to be passionate about the artist and the music to buy the album in these numbers.

Nick Woodman

Everyone has an idea over time of what the business should be, and during the formative period, too many opinions could be disruptive.

We've always treated the historical context of a particular time as a kind of sidebar to any discussion about business leadership. But we've found that context is far more salient than we ever imagined.

Kevin Jackson

We've always hoped that Page 2 would be a destination for people who wanted a good laugh and didn't take sports too seriously. Much of that was accomplished through parody, so it seemed natural that we'd be drawn to a product like the Onion. I think we've always had an admiration for what they do, and when we talked to the folks at the Onion, we found out that admiration was mutual.

Bobby Bowden

We've always had problems with Wake Forest. It looks like they've figured out their problems and found themselves.

When we went to talk to those families, we found out that one of the families was originally from Herrin, so we were able to quickly place them in one of our vacant homes in Herrin. Our agency covers 24 counties, and if we don't have a house available, we can still help a family by making referrals.

Cory Booker

When I was just a twenty-something, I came to Newark, and I found a connection to the city in a spiritual way. I found a connection here and people here that reminded me so much of my roots and my own family.

Dennis Quaid

When I was in my mid-20s, I traveled a lot around the world, and the question I had for everyone I talked to was, 'What is your conception of God?' I found that everybody basically felt the same: God is within and without. He's in everything.

Angeles Mastretta

When I was in my 20s, I wanted to be tough. I discovered that I didn't want to be the woman I was raised to be - a good, traditional wife. When I went out in the world to find a husband, I found that husbands weren't ready to accept the kind of woman I was going to be.

Michael Keaton

When I was in improv workshops or doing stand-up or writing comedy with others, or just doing comedy, I just laughed. Funny was funny; I loved to laugh. I always liked people I found generally funny.

Mitchell Hurwitz

When we were making 'Arrested Development,' it was the hardest thing I'd ever done. You know, nobody was watching. We weren't getting feedback. The job wasn't paying very well. But the one thing I did feel confident about was: No one will ever be able to do this again. Because no one would be stupid enough to try.

Ned Walker

We remain deeply concerned about any interest rate relief that allows another carrier to artificially mask its obligations, potentially paying nothing at all for many years, receive all of the benefits and ultimately leave the taxpayer to foot the bill.

Bill Smith

We're going to pay it one way or another. We think paying based on what the actual costs are over a 5 percent difference is a good way to do this. It's not that we're unconcerned; it's just the price of doing business.

Katie Aselton

I'd like to make mistakes on my own dime and not have a herd of people tell me what I'm doing wrong. and I'm also still trying to find and develop my voice as a filmmaker, and I think that's easier to do on your own terms than trying to satisfy a bunch of people that are paying for the movie.

Keegan Bradley

It's very difficult to consistently hit good iron shots if you get off to a bad start. That's why I'm always paying attention to my setup and takeaway.

Scott Shapiro

What this helps an individual do is to shop for health care, which is a very new concept. But because individuals are paying an increasing amount from out of pocket for their health care, they are increasingly looking for information that helps them shop for health care.

John Sheldon

When we finished building our house in 2000, our taxes were $1,700 a year. Next year they will be well over $10,000. But the guy around the corner with the same size house is only paying $2,500. It's not fair.

Steve Rauschenberger

What he's going to do I think is stretch out the payment cycle. What he's going to do is essentially make the providers of the state of Illinois pay for it by paying them more re-imbursements and more slowly.

Tom Glenn

We felt like in a lot of cases the parents might not be aware that this was going on with their children, ... We were just advising them to start paying attention to their children's computer habits.

Eric Patterson

We've always gotten off to good starts. We've always beaten the teams that we were supposed to beat. Now, we need to get that big-time victory. That's what we're still waiting for.

Adam Gollner

We respect Band Aid's ability to raise so much money for relief efforts, but their lyrics seem so misguided and inappropriate. Africa isn't a land 'where nothing ever grows' and 'no rain nor river flows.' And how are lines such as, 'Well, tonight, thank God it's them instead of you' supposed to be helpful?

Diane Lane

We're so blessed with our pastor and his wife. They live their lives in a way we're supposed to, in their caring for one another and having a focus on God.

Alain Vigneault

We're going to see probably one of the hardest (working), most physical teams in the league coming in. They don't score a lot of goals, but they play hard. A lot of times, they don't even want to play the puck, they just want to play the man. It's Calgary, in-your-face, finish-checks hockey. It's going to be a big challenge for us and the bigger the challenge, the bigger we're supposed to respond.

Nikki Rocco

We're going to go back to the drawing board. Good movies are supposed to buck this trend. You hear how it's all about the product, but we have an excellent movie that people just aren't turning out for. It's something bigger.

Jim McIngvale

We're going to get the French guys back over here, give them some wine and get these courts back in the shape they're supposed to be in.

Kenneth Fisher

Environmentalists should like fracking for its relative cleanliness. But they don't. They have made a bugaboo out of the chemicals in fracking fluids, which supposedly can leach into groundwater sources. I'm convinced they're dead wrong. Ultimately, good technology with a cost advantage will win out over paranoia.

Ellen Galinsky

What this finding reflects is the dissonance of today's reality and yesterday's old ideas. There's the assumption that family for women detracts from work while for men it supposedly enhances their viability and stability.

Mark Wright

When we do what we're supposed to do, we can definitely stop people. I just want a win. A win would solve a lot of problems for us.

Russian Proverb

What the young one begs for, the grown-up throws away

Dale Neibauer

When we go to the basket and get in a situation where they have to foul us, we shoot pressure free throws very well.

Luke Reilly

We gutted it out, handled pressure and made free throws at the end. We've got guys with a lot of character. When you make a state tournament run, you have to have kids who make plays.

Mike Hayes

We got what we wanted. They missed both free throws and we had a chance to get the rebound. If we had gotten it and scored with 30-35 seconds left, it's a two-possession game.

Scott Bisbe

We brought Olivia in. She throws a little harder (than Seymour) and she was hitting her spots.

Gordy Presnell

We fatigued a little bit and didn't execute. Against a team like that, we've got to play perfect basketball. You have to make free throws and can't have any unforced errors.

Geno Auriemma

We're not a great free throw shooting team but the fact that we could make that many free throws here when we had to make them, I think that's a great sign for our guys.

Dell Leonard

We've won some big games at the line this year, and we've lost some at the line. We know how important free throws are.

Lucy Lawless

I was black and blue for about two years, but it's paid off tremendously. You know, if you get enough whacks, your reflexes pick up, and I've become quite good - if somebody throws keys or something, I can catch them.

Libba Bray

It's so daunting to walk into a classroom or a school auditorium. It's like the world's weirdest blind date. I know all the students are thinking, 'Who is this tool standing up in front of us?'

Libba Bray

'Pastoralia' by George Saunders. Possibly my favorite book. It's one of the weirdest books I've ever read. If Monty Python and Thomas Pynchon had a love child, and it was raised by Frank Zappa on a weird commune, that would be this book.

dally salad

when i meet someone new they tell me that im crazy or that i need personal and that im the weirdest person that they met i tell them thank you and to get the f*** yourself

Mark Teixeira

I'm always ready on Opening Day. It's been the weirdest Spring Training that I've ever had. The World Baseball Classic didn't help, but I feel great and my body feels great.

Alafair Burke

I was the weirdest kid: I wanted to see the police file - in grade school! I was convinced I could crack the case if I just had that file.

Matthew Moy

I watch the weirdest things. I watch old episodes of 'Golden Girls' because my mom watches it, so I grew up watching that. Sometimes I watch reruns of 'Futurama,' which is a cartoon and not based in the real world at all.

Ice Age

Manny:'Thats wat you do in a herd, you look out for each other.' Sid:'I dont know about you guys but we are the weirdest herd I have ever seen.'

Nayvadius Cash

The weirdest place I ever actually woke up in was a villa on the beach in Mexico. It was burning hot, and there were all these crabs walking around me. But I was feeling good, so I went with the vibe.

Lauren Socha

I couldn't hope to be in anything better than 'Misfits.' The reaction from fans has been mental. The weirdest thing is when people tell me I'm their inspiration. I can't believe I get fan mail, and loads of free clothes. Adidas sent me lots of stuff; it's wicked!
