Ryan Ford Quotations

When we began the war with Iraq, I made a statement that, although I was proud to be an American, I was embarrassed by the actions of our administration.

We're proud to support our employees who are serving our country, and this flag will be given a prominent spot at Keystone.

The fact that no one wants to take responsibility for the intelligence failures is unbelievable.

When I'm in town, I sit in front of my computer, connected to the world. I need to go away in order to think.

What I did as a fashion designer for both Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent was to create a character and then costume that character throughout her life.

We're showing so much green, ... Everything from emerald green to puce, to chartreuse, to a real sort of hunter and forest and dark greens that we haven't seen in a long time.

She did want to do it, and then when she was on the set I think she felt uncomfortable, and I didn't want to make anybody feel uncomfortable.

My film career is in no way being placed on hold, but we all know how long it can take to get a film project off the ground.

Maybe I am more about sensuality than sexuality now, maybe not quite so in your face, ... I also think that eyewear right now, and in other product categories, is in a moment where people want some authenticity, they want value, they don't want to feel it is quite so transient and trendy and empty, as a lot of the things that all of us in the fashion industry were doing in the late nineties.

Certainly it was big win and we're disappointed that we didn't get two. But going into this weekend, we're still in this thing.

But when I put my mind to something I can really focus on it.

But Bush has embraced the stereotypical good-ole-boy side of Texas, which can be racist, narrow-minded, and self-serving.

Fun isn't a word I think about so much.

We talked a lot about this at the beginning of the season - about playing for something on the last weekend and certainly that's what we're doing. We want to take full advantage of the opportunity.

I think we appear as the most morally corrupt country on the planet.

I think they have a very good chance to win. I like their depth and the young talent is unbelievable.

My mother was always very political and very much a Democrat.

I think of LA as my American urban experience, London as my European urban experience, and Santa Fe as my country escape.

I worry about, consider, and question everything that I'm doing.

True artists - and I do think there are some fashion-designer artists - create because they can't do anything but create.

We knew we'd be tested on the road. We knew we'd better win our home games, and that's what we've done.

There are a lot of wonderful people in Texas, people who have a social, political, and environmental conscience.

But the more information you have, the more comfortable you are with the broad range of human experience, the more you start to see the human side of things.

We are trying to get the philosophy in the side that when people are on the bench that they haven't been dropped. They are actually going to play more games than the people who start and they make a massive impact when they come on.

We live in a country of differences, and we should be able to voice those differences.

Even though the silhouette's curvy, there is some movement to the fabric,

I've been reading every script I can get my hands on, so I can come out of the summer with a couple of projects that I'm ready to start.

They always pitch well. They don't beat themselves. They don't walk too many people. They attack the strike zone, so we've got to be aggressive at the plate.

The thing about eyewear is that it is so potent, ... There are very few accessories that, if you were not wearing anything, if you put on they would date you to a whole era. You could look the Thirties, the Fifties, and the Nineties just by your eyewear. It's like a pair of shoes because it is sculptural. It exists without a face. It tells a lot about where you are architecturally or aesthetically in a particular period in time.

Thanks to all the increased communication that television, film, and the internet have created, even people in small towns in Middle America are exposed to the same things as people in urban areas.

Sometimes clients come here and having paid for travelling and holiday, a doctor might feel obliged to go through with the operation, even if the person is not suited.

Despite their great success in that area, I still think that George Bush has never learned to speak in public.

A shoulder pad on T-shirts, in sweaters, in shirts, in jackets, in everything. It's not a huge overwhelming pad, but it's a very defined shoulder.

The Bush administration has squelched freedom of speech.

You've stolen more of a man's property because it's land he owns but can't use. We robbed people of their right to use 25 feet of that buffer zone,

It's a half-hour drive from the gate to the house. Sometimes I go out there for days and I just don't leave.

It was horrible. I did not want to leave, ... I was deeply, deeply depressed for probably six months. I felt like my life might just end. It's only recently that I'm completely over it.

I have something to say about menswear. There's nothing yet for me to say to women and it may be never and it may be soon. I just don't know.

I hadn't shopped online. I don't think I was a contemporary person any longer - I hadn't been in a grocery store in years.

I just hope there are a lot more people like me voting in Texas than we hear about.

But I don't think I would have the stomach for the maneuvering that is necessary in politics.

However, my first goal as a filmmaker is to have something to say.

I could not send an e-mail because I had three assistants, so I never had to learn,

For the next few years I'll spend half the year in London and half the year in LA and Santa Fe.
