Ivan Kane

When hybrids were first introduced in the United States, they were only available in sub-compact cars that were not practical for all vehicle buyers.

Vinod Khosla

I don't believe - till something radical changes that we are not on track to do - that hybrids are material to climate change.

James Bell

Hybrids continue to refute the argument that their cost of ownership fails to justify their slightly higher sticker prices.

Kim Fields

Working with Will Smith was one of the highlights of my career. He is so talented and has a tremendous work ethic. We are still friends, and I reach out to him and his partner to pitch ideas.

Robbie Tobeck

Leslie Morgan Steiner

My mom is one of my role models in a complicated way. I learned from her how to be a good mom. She was one of those natural moms who really took to it. Her chosen profession was teaching.

Kenneth Fisher

I can find only one bull market, in 1935, that didn't have some material indigestion within its first 12 months.

F. Stone

What we're saying is, there are certain types of sexually explicit material that we don't think are appropriate.

Douglas Hyde

What I advocate brings with it no substantial or material advantage at all. It will neither make money nor help to make money.

Bruce Mantz

We brought back as much of the old team as we could. They had to be retrained to work with a new WMS and to learn how the WMS interacts with all the materials handling equipment.

Subra Suresh

We bring to the table expertise in measuring the strength of materials at the smallest of scales.

Nick Iammartino

We believe this suit has no merit and is simply a transparent effort to pry money from our company even though we've always provided full disclosure of all material company information to shareholders and the public.

David Rayburn

Unfortunately, many of these factors continue to persist. In addition, several other factors have deteriorated further than our previous expectations, including lower North American automotive build rates and rapidly accelerating raw material and energy costs.

Susan Minot

When I was in my teens and twenties, I could see friends expressing how radical they were, and I envied them, the way they lived, the way they dressed. Maybe there is a part of me that is reserved, even in rebellion.

John Fischer

What this country needs is radicals who will stay that way regardless of the creeping years.

Hannah Arendt

What makes it so plausible to assume that hypocrisy is the vice of vices is that integrity can indeed exist under the cover of all other vices except this one. Only crime and the criminal, it is true, confront us with the perplexity of radical evil; but only the hypocrite is really rotten to the core.

Jim Hayes

Years ago, we stepped away from the radical fringe. I'm not saying that a father who has lost his kids hasn't (made threats). I'm saying we have no knowledge of it.

Will Durant

The conservative who resists change is as valuable as the radical who proposes it.

Tom Tancredo

unsuitable for paying appropriate tribute to the heroes of Flight 93 or the ensuing American struggle against radical Islam that their last historic act and the 'Let's roll' effort has come to symbolize.

David Price

We are proposing an incremental solution that is neither radical nor trivial. It is a modest step that we believe is workable.

Neil deGrasse Tyson

Not enough books focus on how a culture responds to radically new ideas or discovery. Especially in the biography genre, they tend to focus on all the sordid details in the life of the person who made the discovery. I find this path to be voyeuristic but not enlightening.

JC Chasez

When you talk about *NSYNC or Backstreet Boys - we were like the New Kids, and New Kids were like the Bee Gees. But Girl Radical will be the first ones, and that's a crazy idea. That's what got us so excited.

When we drove up, he was out front, scalping T-shirts and selling a few tickets,

We bought small amounts of cocaine out there daily, we bought $20 rocks. These people, same people, were selling $20 rocks all day long. So they have the potential to make a lot of money and easy money.

If I can be doing something in the arts till the day I die. I would be very, very happy.

Ron Howard
