Frankly Quotations

As someone who loves football, I will continue to speak out frankly about FIFA's problems.

I think being a woman and writing frankly about violence has gotten me some attention, and as someone who wants people to read my books, I can't complain about that attention, but it does puzzle me that this is something reviewers focus on.

And obviously, with hindsight now, now knowing what went on in the company, it would have been absolutely appropriate back then for us to have the chief executive of the company, most senior person in the United Kingdom, come and answer for the policy they were pursuing. And we ducked that, and frankly that's a failure of Parliament.

If you are realistic about how our present society works, the economic clout - and a lot of the political clout, frankly - is in the business sector. And it's the locus of innovation.

I admire any woman who does stand-up, but frankly I'd rather pull out my own eyelids.

Frankly speaking, I decided to become a businessman at the moment when I understood that it is possible, because I grew up in a country where it was not possible. There existed even a special article in the penal code of the Soviet Union which punished entrepreneurial activity.

Obviously I love the fans, and it's beyond lovely that people like my work, and I love saying 'Hi,' shaking a hand, doing a high five. All that's fine. But the posing for photos is so time-consuming and frankly a bit weird.

I don't believe in a golden mean; I don't believe you find policy wisdom between two polar points. I don't dismiss that possibility, but I look at the platform that's so ideologically based, that's so dismissive of facts, of evidence, of science, and it's frankly hard to take seriously.

For art comes to you proposing frankly to give nothing but the highest quality to your moments as they pass, and simply for those moments' sake.

Analog sounds so much better. I frankly can't listen to digital audio for more than a few hours without really starting to hate what I'm listening to. Even decent 24-bit digital resolution really irritates me after a while.

Frankly speaking, we don't see any other way for the steady development of the Ukrainian state apart from as a federation.

There's a lot of evidence that shows that if we push as hard as we need to for net-zero emissions, we'll find ourselves with cities that are more secure, healthier, and have more economic opportunity - are frankly better cities to live in - than if we settle for the status quo.

Here's the thing: I left Ion Storm and Eidos in the spring of 2004 frankly because I felt out of place at that company.

All too often, the word 'religion' has become identified with those promoting a frankly anti-scientific view of nature and of our place in the natural world.

We've got a very difficult situation created by this embrace of the so-called Arab Spring. And that's not getting better. It's getting worse. The carnage for the people of Syria is horrific, and it's quite frankly too little, too late to reverse a lot of that.

If I'm being honest, I think I'd be good at television; I just don't know if I am interested, because you are kind of geographically responsible to a location, and frankly I don't know if I retired from tennis so that I could sit around tennis tournaments 12 hours a day.

I love practical jokes and humor. That there's frankly no joke that I don't think is funny. I love practical jokes, but I don't like being scared.

I find it unnecessary, useless and frankly a bit unnecessary to get into all sorts of debates over President Obama's religion or the authenticity of his birth. I know for some people that it is an obsession. It is not with me.

Frankly speaking, I don't know much about rock music. But I enjoyed some when I was in college or high school. But I stopped listening after Elvis Presley!

More men are ruined by underestimating the value of money than by overestimating it. Let us, then, abandon the affectation of despising money, and frankly own its value.

I like dialogue that is slightly more brittle than life. I have always admired and wished to write one of those 1940s film scripts where every line is written with a sharpness and economy that is frankly artificial.

What he's doing here is frankly astonishing. This kind of coordination is obviously an attempt to get around legal contribution limits. The bottom line is that public policy is being made not by principle, but by payment up front.

What's still missing is a tool or service that can migrate the Domino application logic. Domino still is an awesome rapid application development tool. There frankly is nothing (like it) on the market.

We're more productive than we were in the 90s and frankly we didn't start hitting wage pressures in the 90s until about a 4-3/4 percent unemployment rate.

With their sharp decline in market share, they have frankly got too much capacity, too many plants, too many people to be profitable in North America.

We're frankly missing some of the most basic research on this particular insect.

We know we take liberties in that regard, but CTU clearly is a very efficient and effective (agency). And we're frankly honored and lucky to be working with them.

We did not deserve more than a point with the way we performed. It's disappointing in a sense that it was a chance to gain some points on people. Preston drew and it would have been a nice advantage for us to get the three points but quite frankly we didn't deserve it.

There are more interesting companies with . . . stronger insider (buying) patterns and frankly more exciting growth.

There are some points not in the text that frankly we would have preferred to have seen in the text. Other colleagues said no, that would send a different message at this particular time.

There are enormously long lags from a change in exchange rates to impact on production and employment. ...The dollar has already weakened and frankly this kind of move isn't going to matter very much.

So, I'm willing to grow the company as big as it wants to get, but I frankly don't care what that size is. I don't know yet, really, how ready the planet is for my message, and that's the thing I must guard.

Minnie is my nickname. Amelia's my real name. I'd love to be an Amelia, but frankly then I think I should be a German woman with a horned hat.

Mr. McVeigh's temperament is very even. He is calm. He is himself. He is prepared to go forward with this execution tomorrow. Quite frankly he is ready to die.

One of the things frankly we have to do is demystify (the CIA) a little bit, ... You are not going to be James Bond if you sign up and five years later you're going to be driving an Aston Martin with a beautiful young lady at your side on the Riviera. You might be, but I'm not aware of that program yet.

No one went in. And that's frankly as it should be because if this is going to play out the right way according to law and according to the wishes of the miners then all the representatives of the miners should be there.

Obviously, we are never going to be satisfied with a losing quarter but quite frankly we remain upbeat. The loss itself was a result of a $270,000 increase in allowance for doubtful accounts receivable and an unrealized hedging loss -- marked -- to market at the end of the quarter. As of August 31, 2005 the majority of this unrealized loss has been reversed out. However, the coffee market continues to remain extremely volatile. Beyond these two one time events, the quarter was overall a positive considering prices declined by over 20% in roughly a 30 day period.

Nothing is going to happen very fast, and frankly shouldn't.

I was frankly afraid these things would come back to me for years.

I am surprised that folks in general seem a bit peeved that their minimum payment may soon be rising. I think it is a wonderful thing, frankly the first real pro-consumer move this industry has made in my adult lifetime.

But the greatest injury of the 'wall' notion is its mischievous diversion of judges from the actual intentions of the drafters of the Bill of Rights. . . . The "wall of separation between church and state" is a metaphor based on bad history, a metaphor which has proved useless as a guide to judging. It should be frankly and explicitly abandoned.

But, frankly we are a long ways from there.

Based on what the negotiators were telling us, it's a finite number of issues that separate us, ... It sounded a little worse right as the negotiations closed because they began to put things on the table which frankly had been resolved, and I'm not too concerned about those things.

Basically this merger will mean even less competition for broadband Internet, and frankly that makes a Net neutrality requirement even more imperative. If there was real competition in the provision of high-speed Internet access we might not be having this conversation, but now the world has gotten even smaller than it was before.

I feel pretty good about (the retirement) because frankly there are not too many guys in my business who can do it. I feel grateful the university has been so good to me and my family. I have a chancellor that has been very supportive of me, and his cooperation on what I wanted to do and how I wanted to do it. I think that is very unique to have a situation like that.

If Boeing and Microsoft and others who are seen as deeply engaged and committed to the relationship speak frankly about the stress, that is of real value.

Frankly when I resigned in November, there wasn't anyone.

Frankly we're about where I'd hoped we'd be at this time of year. I'm looking forward to seeing how we do in our remaining 12 games. I think we're headed in a positive direction. I feel good about the way we competed in the last three games.

Frankly we just thought we could not approve the project in good faith,

Frankly we haven't decided yet ... the Judiciary Committee has not completed its work.

Frankly we found it a sensational & selective account of peacekeeping.

Frankly speaking, we would prefer to have the original copy like everybody else,

Frankly speaking, we do not want to pursue excessively rapid economic growth. What we are seeking is efficiency and quality of development, the change in the the economic growth mode, resources conservation, environmental protection and improvement of people's livelihood.

Frankly speaking, I am hoping to win both the awards I have been nominated for. But any of the two would be more than welcomed because I think it would be a universal recognition of your achievements and performance,

Frankly some of the branches did not execute at the branch level. That is disappointing but we are working very hard to get that message out today.

Frankly it's going a lot faster than I had expected.

Frankly I think this is one of the smarter funds Oppenheimer has developed.

Frankly I think the ongoing participation in the Olympics, that decision will have a lot to do with what we do with World Cup or not. But again, it's early to say. We're committed to Vancouver in 2010 and if we're not committed beyond that (to the Olympics) I could easily see a World Cup.

Frankly I think that's unfair, ... ...I think it's possible to take issue with the content of that film. I think it's certainly fair to debate what it said about the time and what it continues to say about the issue of race relations in the United States. But I don't think that that is his whole identity. The man was one of the great figures in film history, he was the inventor of the epic film.

Frankly it does not sit very comfortably with us because we are raising this issue for the very valid reasons we have outlined.

Frankly I'm not holding my breath for any confessional statement from Saddam Hussein,

Frankly I love the word 'nigga.' It is my favorite word in the English language because no other word incites more controversy today.

Frankly if it saves one life, it's worth it.

Frankly I don't follow Indian athletics to a great extent but I do know that it has started to pick up a bit of late. Five years hence, I expect Indian athletes to be a force to reckon with.

Frankly I believe that there's too little funding for intelligence, we have too few assets and too few analysts. And I think if the Congress and others are going to demand a greater capacity in intelligence we're going to have to be prepared to pay for a more sophisticated and a more intense structure of intelligence capabilities, and I think its wrong for some members of Congress to vote to cut intelligence spending, to vote to cut the number of intelligence analysts and then to set unrealistically high demands on the intelligence community.

Frankly, Fort Pierce is not regarded, as we say, as the shining city on the coast. Frankly it's had a poor self image. But gradually, I think what's happening is people on the Treasure Coast are moving away from 'Fort Pierce has problems' to 'Oh my God, Fort Pierce has Earth, Wind and Fire.

I don't understand why the stock reacted so favorably to them saying they were renting out space in their stores. Frankly that is an admission that your business in trouble.

I don't think it will be difficult. This is a good job. Obviously, we have some challenges in front of us, but frankly I wouldn't want a head coach who's not willing to face challenges.

If the company were to continue in the way it is going it is possible it could run into difficulties so we can't write that out -- but frankly it is unlikely,

He is behaving too loudly on this -- too loudly ... Well, now (some are saying) let us flood it all with planes and bombs. No, frankly speaking, it is not like Clinton at all.

What you have now, 10 years after Dayton is, frankly speaking, an abnormal situation with the tri-presidency and with the entities controlling so much of the national life of this country,

What we frankly give, forever is our own

He did commiserate with me a little bit, ... I hope that he will be able to give the United States Supreme Court's ruling some coherence, because frankly they are way out of step with what the founding fathers intended.

I would say there is a great risk as we go into the next two weeks of a very brief campaign period but certainly the U.N. and the international peacekeepers and police force here are very much on alert and will be quite quick frankly to put down any attempts to disrupt the election. I think it is everybody's concern now that there are only two candidates that some aspects of the voters in Liberia will become more polarized and thus, in some ways, the danger of some sort of election related violence or disruption is much greater now than it was prior to the 11th of October.

I think it's a stupendous piece. I'm frankly a little surprised that it's not done more often because the music is so wonderful. The writing, especially for wind instruments, is extraordinary. He was just very expressive of the text and very inventive. So there's a wonderful sort of genius use of different styles and an ingenious use of the orchestra. I'm excited that we're doing it because I think people need to hear this piece.

I think the people I met in the course of this campaign realize that those commercials frankly are not reflective of who I am, who I've been and how I'll serve the city of Los Angeles.

I think the congressional agenda has been more realistic and frankly more limited than Bush's. The Bush presidency has a lot of big ideas, which is generally good thing, but there just is not a lot of legislative follow-through.

It is going to be a challenge for everyone to just finish this race. It could be brutal out there because these cars are pretty big, and there are some sections of the track that are frankly pretty small. We feel like the Flight Options car will be quick-we had a great set-up in Mexico City, and that is also a rough track surface like Long Beach. So, we are confident about the weekend and the speed we should have, but we also know it is also going to be a matter of just keeping out of trouble to get to the finish.

It is fundamentally workable. We got a food fight instead of a bill, and I quite frankly think it's a real failure of leadership on the part of both parties.

I think we've had a tremendous run. I mean Nasdaq had a terrific year. A lot of the Internet names that we hold in the fund had terrific years and quite frankly I think going forward it's going to be more challenging.

I think what we've seen is a phase shift on Wall Street. And frankly investors are looking for a reason to sell.

I think it's really unfortunate that we're talking about this three days before the effectiveness of the ban. It's a voluminous document to secure, digest and respond to. It's frankly inconsiderate.

I think ultimately, with six weeks to go before conference tournament week, a lot of these seeming inequities will even out. The Valley is more likely to get three than four. They are more likely to go down than they are to go up. The Big XII can only go up. The Pac-10 is probably going to get three, because frankly they're not that good, so they'll have to get over it.

I will know how much impact my elbow is going to take only when I practice more. Frankly it is too early to say when I will be back.

I think the seed was planted many years ago and it was an idea whose time came and quite frankly I think it really spurred after 9/11. It's definitely a growing trend and we have had much more business in this area since then.

It is a tech wreck, that's for certain, ... You need capitulation to have good bottom. I didn't see that today. I saw an absence of buyers. Quite frankly there just weren't enough bids. Have we fallen enough here? Probably not.
