I am bourgeois to the core and parochial beyond belief, and yet I am drawn to art and scholarship as my anti-type, my shadow, the voice of distinction I never possessed. I don't think of myself as a teacher so much as an impersonator of profundities, inhabiting the wisdom of texts with the naked confidence that the value of the genius I espouse transcends the particular fraud that I am the one espousing it. And it doesn't even matter to me that no one seems to be listening; those who listen that I don't know about are enough to keep me going--soaring on the wings of borrowed metaphors.

I am quite on record as saying that Seattle has the least-competitive lease in the league and is at a decided economic disadvantage.

I always worry about tornados. I urge people to watch TV, listen to the radio and be weather conscious.

I want you, there's no doubt. I freak out. I'm left out. Without you, I'm without. I'm crossed out. I'm kicked out. I cry out. I reach out. Don't walk away...

I make a playlist for every character I portray. Music plays a huge part in helping me understand a character. Every time I get a new role, I will take a chunk of time to just sit and listen to a bunch of songs and select the ones that make sense in my mind for that character. I can't even explain how much it helps me.

I hate to say, but we didn't know what to expect, and we didn't listen to our coaches. We didn't come out and give this team as much respect as we should of. Our coaches had been telling us all week they were good, but we came out a little slow and sluggish.

I felt a real strong connection and still do with Hanukkah. So it started out by doing concerts on Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights tour, and then, yeah, let's make some Hanukkah songs.

Gil was really good in that he would listen to the demos, and he would get the energy of just that raw first draft of the song and he was able to grow on that, still maintaining that initial energy and the direction of that song.

Front desk clerks at Hilton are generally empowered to listen to any reasonable request. We probably wouldn't treat you to a $500 dinner for two, but if you're walked from the New York Hilton and Towers, we might take you over in our limo to a suite at the Waldorf-Astoria.

For three years now, the administration has been sending the message that cruel and inhuman treatment is OK. Now the McCain amendment is going to wipe all of that away.

For too long Kimberly-Clark, maker of Kleenex brand tissue products, has told us that it uses no recycled content in its tissue products because of consumer preference and demand. Well, the data are in and as we've been saying since the launch of this campaign, consumers do not want to have Canada?s Boreal forest destroyed for the production of disposal products. It's time for Kimberly Clark to listen to consumers and drastically change the recycled content in its disposable paper products.

For me, we're taking something that's essentially trash and trying to make something beautiful with it. It's about taking the world's refuse and shaping it into musical patterns.

If it turns out that George Bush doesn't get elected, once a party has run three times, like the Democrats after 1980, 1984 and 1988, they begin to see the light and say, 'We have to change,' ...

If it's based on wanting the guys on top to play together, it's a bunch of hogwash. There's no problem with our tour as far as what's going on.

They seem to think that just because they're the best players that everybody should listen to them and only do what they want.

I got an e-mail from a guy in Hong Kong, ... I get 'em from Afghanistan. I have farmers who come up to me - people who live on the East Coast, the West Coast; they come up to me - and they say, 'I'm so pleased I don't have to drive my tractor anymore up onto hill No. 7 to listen to the game.

He treated everybody the same. He was very caring. I think he sort of felt like we were his own kids. He was always willing to listen and talk. ... He would tell stories back over the years.

I always knew Casey had the ability, I always had faith in him. I would listen to him on the radio and he never panicked, he always just tried to work his way through every situation. This is a big year for him and I believe he's going to put himself in the Chase for the championship.

He is going to be a very big-time running back for the Buckeyes. I keep telling him to keep his nose clean, go to class, listen to the coaches. I don't hear anything from the coaches up there (at OSU), so I know he's doing a good job off the field.

He doesn't talk much around anybody. Maybe he does when he's not in the (football) building. What he does say, though, matters. You need to listen when he talks.

Having girlfriends is... I can't do it. It doesn't mean I don't hang out with girls. It just means that I don't like being in a relationship, because it makes things very complicated.
