For a blink of an eye, there was so much media glare. It was unexpected, and I don't think we realized the magnitude of the message we were imparting with 'The Nanny Diaries.'

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.

Mary Carillo

What makes Maria so tough is the way she plays, the way she competes. The best part about Maria is her focus. But not to be reacting when somebody's down on the ground, not to even move from the back of the baseline, somehow you've got to shift out of that mode. That's when her focus can look very unattractive.

Rob Silverstein

We've always been huge fans of Maria and believe she has the skills, attitude and style that fits 'Access Hollywood' perfectly. She's current, a unique talent, someone that cuts through, and definitely stands out in a crowd. We could not be more pleased with Maria joining the most credible entertainment news magazine in the world.

Natalie Cole

Hideo Kojima

When I was a child, there really weren't very many video games, but I do have memories of 'Pong.' Maybe it was 'Pong.' It was a home system in Japan, so maybe it wasn't the real 'Pong.' It was just sort of a Japanese game that was similar to 'Pong.'

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.

We've always talked about the pressure from the outside and contrasting that with Terrell Suggs . If that's a nickel role, you're talking 15-25 snaps. He's capable of doing more, but we have a lot of assets here to balance that out. If we can use him more, we will.

Kelly Leonard

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.

Ray Preston

When we were talking to him, he didn't want to commit to how long. So I said, 'Try a year and see how it works out.' Fortunately he's been there since.

John Brady

We're going to the Final Four. That's where it all is. But when I was just talking with Glen walking down the hall, he agreed with me. For some reason, this doesn't seem like the end to me. Maybe there's something more in store for this team.

Sean Payton

When I was introduced last week I said that I wanted to bring teachers in who were looking to work hard, enjoy their work and be part of a team with everyone moving in the same direction. Gary defines that description. Getting him in New Orleans sets the tone for the rest of the additions to my coaching staff.

Christina Fernandez

We're sort of open. A lot of things could have happened in the past I suppose, but everybody always respected what we were doing here, respected other teachers and races, and now it just feels like someone has really broken that trust. We're disappointed.

Anne Sullivan

I think that there are some teachers that do a very good job of incorporating culture and history. And there are some teachers who could use a little more help in that area.

Bruce Schroeder

What we're really concerned about is we're finding that nearly half the teachers leave in their first five years of teaching.

Tom Woodruff

What we're looking for is not money, but rather their expertise. Their advice, their input into assisting teachers in the classroom to make their instruction more relevant for the students.

Jack Krebs

What this does is open the door for teachers to bring creationist arguments into the classroom and point to the standards and say it's OK.

John Niven

Whenever someone like a plumber or a mechanic tries to explain something technical to me, I listen for about three seconds before it all just becomes white noise, like Charlie Brown's teacher.

Michael Shannon

If Mother Theresa went to Atlantic City, I don't think she'd start playing Blackjack.

Monica Tooley

Like Theresa (Staring) said, it's nice to see that we can bounce back and not dwell on the game we lost.

Kevin Lisk

Janae runs phenomenally in her comfort zone right now. We need to get her to run on the edge of that. Theresa has the competitive fire. She could be a force by the end of the season.

Kathy Lanter

I even told Theresa this, it was a pleasure to coach against her these past four years. She can do everything.

Mallory Ortberg

My history teacher could make us feel like he was imparting rare gossip to us when he was talking about Maria Theresa and the Habsburgs. I just loved that sense of - the Western canon is here, and it's gossipy and tawdry, and everyone is sort of goofy.

Dan Rolfes

Theresa got a little more aggressive in the second half and really got to the offensive glass. She really made things happen for us.

Phyllis McGinley

The system -- the American one, at least -- is a vast and noble experiment. It has been polestar and exemplar for other nations. But from kindergarten until she graduates from college the girl is treated in it exactly like her brothers. She studies the same subjects, becomes proficient at the same sports. Oh, it is a magnificent lore she learns, education for the mind beyond anything Jane Austen or Saint Theresa or even Mrs. Pankhurst ever dreamed. It is truly Utopian. But Utopia was never meant to exist on this disheveled planet.

E. O. Wilson

which is to maintain the status quo by keeping Theresa Schiavo alive until the federal courts have a new and adequate opportunity to consider the constitutional issues.

Monica Tooley

We had already had two or three corners at that point. I just told Theresa that she needed to hold the ball a little longer (before shooting).

Kacey Musgraves

When I was nine, I was singing western swing: Roy Rogers and Patsy Cline. It got me noticed because no one my age was doing it, but it made me feel inferior because none of my friends could relate to it.

Mike Carter

When I talk to friends about Western Kentucky University, I brag about how good they have been.

Martin Rees

To most people in the U.K., indeed throughout Western Europe, space exploration is primarily perceived as 'what NASA does'. This perception is - in many respects - a valid one. Superpower rivalry during the Cold War ramped up U.S. and Soviet space efforts to a scale that Western Europe had no motive to match.

Jerry Stackhouse

We're spoiled. We're at a point now where we expect to win them all. We're among the top teams in the Western Conference, if not the top team. We expect to win all the time.

David Phillips

What we're saying is from Vancouver to Thunder Bay, Ont., that western part of Canada is looking like it'll be warmer than normal, so it's a continuation of what the fall has been like.

Peter Hall

We find in most of Western countries slow economic growth, which means that jobs are being created slowly and that generous social benefits systems developed in the 1960s and 1970s are often unaffordable. So in one way or another, all of these countries face this problem.

Ed Rendell

We believe we're ready for them, ... We wanted to make sure we were ready before anybody came. We want the people of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County to welcome them as folks who have been through hell in the last week. We want to show them a little bit of Western Pennsylvania heaven when they get here.

James Arness

What made us different from other westerns was the fact that 'Gunsmoke' wasn't just action and a lot of shooting; they were character-study shows.

Avery Johnson

Very few teams go there. I think that's a great accomplishment. In our league, and in the Western Conference particularly, 50 wins means a lot.
