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.

Pete Witte

We found out that one address was the source of 200 police calls in one year. That property was public enemy No. 1.

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.

We're having a bunch of programs mature at the same time.

When we engraved the 442 names on the back of the medals - that's when the reality sinks in. Everybody in the whole plant had to be involved to check the names and match the medals with the cases.

But that's what we do - what we manufacture generally has a higher degree of meaning to those that receive it. It's not just any award.

Mike Cooke

We would seriously question the judgment of any board member or administrator who would have this community believe that they can simply fire the current employees and contract with an outside company to bring in strangers to work in our schools, and still provide the same degree of quality, safety and service that our current custodians and head custodians provide.

When we were talking to them about the marketing, I said traditional theater marketing never works for us. We need college students, we need young people who wouldn't necessarily go to Denver Center. We get a lot of people at Second City who don't know they're coming to an Actors' Equity theater. A lot of marketing we're doing is promoting Red Scare without the Second City name or the Denver Center name.

Maripol

When I was a child, I lived in Morocco, and I would always buy a lot of beads from the markets and to make jewellery for friends. Later, at 18, I would do my own clothes and make my own patterns. When I first came to New York, people just assumed I was a stylist because I was so into fashion.

Bob Nardelli

I can't gather around and talk about how much everybody in the room doesn't believe in God. I just don't - I don't have the energy for that, and so I...

Morgan Stanley

With this overlap in mind, (takeover) interest from third parties may well be limited.

Ashwin Sanghi

Mythology does not interest me. Nor does history. But the possible overlap between history and mythology excites me immensely.

Ray Murphy

There are people who feel like there is a large degree of risk that the DOJ is going to seek to block that deal. The companies overlap in a bunch of product categories and a combined company would have 70% to 80% market share in some markets.

Csaba Csere

There is fairly little overlap between Chrysler and Mercedes. In the U.S, Chrysler's product line pretty much tops out at $30,000. That's where Mercedes begins. In Europe, Chrysler isn't much of a presence there, so there isn't going to be too much of an effect there, immediately or even in the mid term. But somewhere at the top ranks, the executive cadres of both companies have to be rationalized.

Bob Collins

We've asked all our section pros to put their program up on the Web site and I'm really, really excited the way they're starting to get involved. We're trying to create some awareness in the area and to get people to play. People always want to know, where do I go for a class? Where do I go if my kids want to learn? You can find it in there.

Paul Stamm

We've approached the other trusts and have gotten a verbal commitment, but they would like to be able to be the monies that put us over the top in the project. This has a great chance of being a reality and we really need $10 and $25 donations from people in the community.

Terry Lickona

We've always known there was a reason to keep all these original masters. We've never erased a single tape from any show we've ever done. We've just about run out of space to store these tapes, but they've turned out be gems. 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.

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.

Richard Thomas

We're manning up production as much as we can, ... We can only produce so many.

Chris Liddell

Jim Smith

What we're seeing is that most of the compliant product lead times are firming up and creeping out. If the lead time was two weeks, now it's four. If it was four weeks, it's going to six or eight weeks.

Salvador Hernandez

You don't know what we suffer just to get here. We can't risk being sent home.

Jim Wicklund

We remain positive based on economic activity and E&P spending; we're also positive on 2007 but see some risk to E&P spending given the potential squeeze on returns (with) a possible moderation in commodity prices in '07. Visibility remains too good to worry too early, however.

Dan Niles

We remain negative on PCs and semis and believe there is still downside risk to estimates and stock prices.

Robert Barry

We remain confident GM will offer some assistance to Delphi, but bankruptcy risk cannot be ignored. We think GM would find it hard to justify not offering its struggling, former captive supplier, Delphi, some form of assistance.

Alan Foreman

We're starting to find that investors in particular are measuring their risks carefully and are not afraid to put their money to work at this time.

Mark Shapiro

We're so careful in our risk assessments that we may have a better chance of keeping our players on the field. And risk-assessment tools have absolutely gotten better.

Marc Short

What we're really practicing is risk mitigation. You will not be able to say everywhere every city is safe at all times. What you want to say is, are we continually getting safer?

Marge Bartoletti

When we encourage kids to drink, we're putting them at risk of dying.

Kristen Kinley

When we have seen the fire reports increasing, we have recalled those vehicles and replaced those switches. Ford has used the basic switch design in a large number of vehicles and the risk of fire related to the switch is much different in those certain populations that we have recalled.

Kevin Marino

We remain hopeful that when the attorney general's office has completed its review of the charges against him, it will elect to dismiss this case rather than seek an indictment.

Unless and until a man does not stop wasting his energy in seeking sensual pleasures, he will not be able to achieve anything substantial.

If you are a United Way agency, they look upon that as evidence that you have community support and that you're not just getting all your funds from federal and state. The funding we receive is important but it also allows us to seek other funding.

Barbara Boxer

To my constituents, today's hearing is about shared sacrifices in tough times versus oil company greed, ... Working people struggle with high gas prices and your sacrifices appear to be nothing.

Alan Rifkin

Chris Killingstad

We remain solidly on track to deliver our 2006 financial goals of double-digit earnings per share growth and mid to upper single-digit revenue growth. We continue to make progress on our medium-term goal of 9.5 percent operating margins.

Ignacio Bunye

We respect the views of the former general, appreciate his sense of nationalism and share his concerns about the plight of our people. But this quixotic declaration is pathetic and unfortunate.

Bill Gates

We're going to gain a lot of share here. We're going to make a lot of consumers happy.

Mike Benson

When we built the site for Oceanic Airlines, we wanted to do something that was different from all the other TV show sites. What we discovered was that by creating additional content for this show, we could create a marketing tool that would have fans more invested in the program, and if it was cool they'd share with their friends.
