Type Quotations | Page 5

The first drafts of my novels have all been written in longhand, and then I type them up on my old electric. I have resisted getting a computer because I distrust the whole PC thing. I don't think a great book has yet been written on computer.

My personal take on politics is I deal with social situations and cultural situations in my music and in my life. I have said on record many times that I haven't voted. I'm not the type of person who says, 'I'm never going to vote.' I think it's clear to me that our system has failed us.

I'm urging NASA to foster the development of what I call 'runway landers.' No, that's not the name of a high stakes gambler from Vegas. It's a type of spacecraft that flies to orbit like the retiring Shuttles but then glides to a landing like an airplane on a runway. Just like the Shuttles do.

About half my time is spent on business operation type stuff.

Books are not brands. Some people are very willing to see themselves as a brand, but you can't be a certain type of writer to a certain type of person all the time. It will kill you.

I'm a little Type A, and I have this really thick binder whenever I do a movie where I make a million notes, and in between takes, I'm checking it out.

I'm a very obsessive type. If I do get into it, I'll soon be there 12 hours a day. I just don't want to do that.

There's all body types, but there's just one size.

Why can't all different types of women be considered beautiful? Why can't we can't we all be considered possible love interests?

In films, I didn't crave the type of attention I had sort of stumbled into in my music career. And I do not audition well. I'm really not good at it. Early on, I did movies like 'Alpha Dog' and 'Black Snake Moan' because the directors didn't ask me to audition.

I enjoy the company of my fellow man and woman, and I do not wish to be sequestered away in any type of bubble.

The people I've known who've done great things of that type - you know, building hospitals, running schools - are very humble people. They give their lives to the project.

I think Facebook is an online directory for colleges... If I want to get information about you, I just go to TheFacebook, type in your name, and it hopefully pulls up all the information I'd care to know about you.

I just don't want to live in the past. I'm really disappointed by so many people of my generation who - in order to promote their new work, they have to constantly lean on their past. I don't want to be that type of artist... I see a lot of people out here doing really marginal music.

The idea that any performer type is owed anything is a joke to me.

The only reason I'd say no to that is because it's the type of player he is. We have other guys that can fill in in certain spots, but it's the athlete, it's the versatile 6-6, 6-7 athlete that can guard inside guys and guards, and that's where it creates some problems for us. It's not really replacing apples to apples. Anybody else that we replace him with is a completely different kind of athlete.

Until a coach is hired, I don't think there's really anything those guys can do or would do. The new coach will have to decide if the recruit is the type of player that they want, and the player will have to decide if they want to play for the new coach.

Unlucky 13. I don't know how they're going to determine it. I hate to be in this type of position. I've always been able to determine how it's going to be. Now we have to sit here. It's making me uneasy. I don't like to be in this position.

We are pretty confident that the downtown area is going to be OK, ... Of course, it is still susceptible to wind damage and those type of issues.

We are poised for dramatic growth over the next five years across our business. Our planned acquisition of Hughes Supply is a great example of how we are rapidly replicating in the professional market the same type of transformation that we brought to the home improvement retail market.

We are poised for a strong economic recovery. New Orleans is one of the oldest cities in America.

We have withstood major storms before, and will appropriately address the infrastructure so that this type of devastation never occurs again.

We've all heard horror stories about a proposed concrete barrier about to be dropped in the center lane along Southgate. The center median is necessary, but it won't be the concrete type used in highway construction projects.

We've all got lots of different influences. We never sit down to write a song and say, 'This is going to be a Brian Eno type of song,' or 'This is a Bob Dylan song.'

We started picking up the pace and that's the type of team we are.

We struggled with taking good shots. We are the type of team that when things go bad we just kind of throw it up there.

We are a little more experienced, we have a little more depth, and possibly a better team than in 2002. The challenge will be very difficult again. The World Cup will only tell us what type of team we have.

We are looking to have them all back by mid-March and we will be going through them and analyzing the results. Once we get the information back we are hoping that we find new avenues to promote our work force and maybe even get some testimonials to put a personal feel to that. This information is coming directly from the source of the labor and we would like to really put that 'come home to Galesburg' type of feel to it.

We are awaiting a donor of a liver that will be a suitable match for my blood type, O positive, the most common type in this nation.

We still think over the next five years the Dow is going to 18- or 20,000, so any type of pullback here, we think, is a blessing in disguise. It's a nice way of cooling off the market a little bit and there's still a lot of value out there right now.

We're in a long-term sideways type of market, a consolidation market, typified by alternating cyclical bull and bear markets lasting a year or two each,

We're in a David and Goliath type struggle, and we're David, ... And David won, as we all know.

We spent the next three years working up a nice, sweet society band and then realized that although we had plenty of class appeal, we had little or no mass appeal.

When you take that job, you understand. And I think that's one of the reasons that I took the job, because it is a place that has had some of the most prestigious coaches in the country with some of the greatest accomplishments in football. So, you take it knowing that. And hopefully you're prepared to try to live up to that type of manner.

When you take over in the middle (of the season), you don't know what kind of groundwork was set. We were able to set the groundwork from the beginning (this season) on what we expect of the guys, how we're going to do things, what type of players we want. This definitely is the direction we want to go and feel good about.

I'm not making any promises to anything or anybody about what we're going to do.

When we began to consider the type of play-by-play announcer that we wanted to lead our BCS coverage, we knew we needed someone that would look at this as something more than a job, and for that, we didn't have to look very far.

I am positive that college football fans from coast-to-coast will enjoy listening to him next January.

When we come out with that type of focus and that type of energy, it's tough for teams to beat us. When we play the way we played tonight, we make it look like that. We make the game look easy.

We believe this would be a successful strategy, given the type of content and markets Apple has had success in.

What makes John a great head coach is he is very clear on what he wants and the direction he wants to go.

He knows what he wants and what he believes in, and that's the way we try to operate.

We're just in experimental phase right now. As long as we're in that type of phase, it's a crazy time. You know we'll get there (profitability) and get there fast. But the ideas that are not out there yet, and the companies that will be behind them, might be the real winners.

We're getting back to fundamentals. I think you're in that type of environment. There's a better feeling in the economic world, and the market's just doing well. We started off shaky and just picked up by the close.

We're hoping over the next year he will become comfortable with our kids and coaches. He brings a wonderful skill level and athleticism. He comes from a premier program. Hopefully, he'll have a big impact on the type of player he is and those around him. That's what really good players do.
