The origin of myths is explained in this way.

Drew Brees

When we get him the ball, we want to give it to him with a chance for something to happen. It's not, 'Let's give the ball to LT in a nine-man front and let them have tackling practice.'

It was an event. It's so different today.

We're doing everything we can to keep our costs as low as we can, but the largest percentage of our cost is the cost of purchasing the power that we deliver to our customers.

Brian Archer

We're staring record energy prices in the face every day, it seems.

Tim Saunders

We've asked Matt to do some new things to help us get a couple more athletic bodies into the lineup,and he's more than held his own in left field.

Todd Parker

We've always played hard, but as of late we seem to be executing better on offense, being more patient and getting the ball where we need to get it. Our quickness allows us to create some mismatches.

Greg Kraft

Ciara

When I was pregnant with Future, one thing I learned quickly was, don't ever let a pregnant lady be hungry, because when I was, I was like the Tasmanian Devil!

When I was a kid, I always had a big thing for Dannii Minogue. Initially I liked Kylie, but I quickly moved on to Dannii. There was always something more alluring about her. I think I actually wrote to her asking if we could meet.

John Clippinger

To move online security to the next level, there has to be fundamental resolve among consumers, government and business to quickly adopt a system where the individual has more control over how information about them is managed and shared. Our aim is to construct an open and widely accessible software framework that puts the individual at the centre of the identity management universe. With this framework in place, it will be easier for society to begin the migration to more secure online environments, where trusted networks can not only be easily formed, but effectively enforced. For in the end, security is not just technological, but social.

We're proud of these old shows and we think they deserve to be seen by new generations of fans and people that have been fans all along.

Rivers Cuomo

When we were putting the album together and finishing up the artwork, I didn't know what was going to happen in the future, and I told everyone that.

Edmund White

When I was a child, I loved 'The Marble Faun' by Nathaniel Hawthorne. The reason I liked it was because it had a beautiful binding. When you're a kid, you like books because they're pretty to look at, and this one had a white calfskin cover and gold edges. That was enough to make me love it.

Flip Saunders

Tony is a high-energy guy, and that's one of the reasons that when he became available, he was somebody we really wanted to look at. We thought he gave us a different dimension from what we had on the roster.

John Pickett

Tomorrow we've got a big labor number coming out and that may give someone a reason to get back in the market or to continue to get out.

Richard Head

The other thing is to ask the person on the phone to identify themselves and who they are working for, ... At any time they should be able to provide something in writing. We recommend that people dont respond over the phone but have information mailed to them. That gives them time to check it out and, if it is a scam, (the false organization) wont have written material.

Paul Hansen

We believe that the case remains strong for SA equities, in both absolute and relative terms, and continue to recommend an overweight exposure.
