When you talk about what is Lincoln, it's about reaching the American customer who has reached his goals, reached his dream and wants to be rewarded for that.

We're now well past the point in which one or two hit products can correct the overcapacity we have or justify the staffing levels we maintain.

Our goal is to build more trucks with fewer plants.

I was top in my class until they put me on the floor and I saw that they were wanting me to change bedpans and I quit.

We are now well past the point in which one or two hit products can correct the overcapacity we have or justify the staffing levels we maintain -- even with the significant actions we've taken during the past couple of years. Sadly, this isn't just a Ford issue. It's an issue for our domestic competitors as well. As hard and painful as it is to idle plants and reduce our work force, we know these sacrifices are critical to set the stage for a stronger future.

The push has to be there. This is not an easy business. But if I can bring the aspect to the business that at the end of the day, we're still human beings, and that it's OK to push but it's OK once in a while to give a hug... then I think that's important.

End rhymes are not enough. Every word-sound in a poem should find an echo in another, neighbouring word's sound to achieve what Ezra Pound called melopoeia. (This is something like what the Welsh call Cynghanned.)

We recognize the reality of the marketplace. We're fighting to win, and that's what we're going to do. This is not the time to hide.

What we are doing here is really unique. We are reaching out to young women and linking them to the excitement of the auto industry and car racing. One of the goals of this program is to show them that there are women in every aspect of the motor industry and they can do it too.

As a leader in both hybrid vehicles and in vehicles capable of operating on ethanol-based fuels, Ford is the ideal company to bring both technologies together for the first time.

Your vehicle should bring emotions of pleasure. You should expect fun from your vehicle experience. You should have feelings of security; feelings of confidence. You should have feelings that this is me.

This innovative research program could lead to breakthroughs to significantly reduce our nation's dependence on imported oil while also helping to address global climate change.

I had a boss who told me that if I really wanted to reach my potential there I had to get rid of my excess baggage, and he meant my husband and kids. So it wasn't clean sailing.

I remember my father coming over and trying to pry me off the fence, and I'm yelling 'No! No!

I just enjoy being out there with cars and people and just really getting into the relationship. It's part of who I always was.
