Chris Johnson Quotations

We struggled last weekend at Jacksonville. Hopefully this will jump-start us to have a strong end of the season.

We're going to have to try to work a little harder. We're the best in South Carolina. Now I guess we'll have to try to be the best in the Carolinas.

We're going to have to try to work a little harder, ... We're the best in South Carolina. Now I guess we'll have to try to be the best in the Carolinas.

There are some signs on the wall here that we may have hit the bottom of this market, and we could be ready to move up. The big question, though, is how far we move up and how long it lasts.

The problem with that, like the problem we had with the fourth-quarter rally, is that it's just that: hoping. You can't build anything just on hope. Like we're seeing today with ISM, you have to have numbers behind it.

She will sprint up and down the field the entire game. She has the ability to turn her speed off and on as she needs it. She doesn't need to beat someone to the ball by 10 steps just because she can. She stays fresh that way and saves that energy to use it later in the game when everyone else is tired.

She didn't even play in all of the games. She missed one game because of a uniform problem and, in another game, she scored four goals in about 30 minutes so there was no real need to keep her in there.

She really grows on people after they get to know her personality.

Most of us here like to drive the Ford Escape because it's roomier,

My fear here is that there truly are expectations that the Fed is done, that the game is over. I don't think that's going to be the situation.

Nobody likes to buy into a market that's making new highs. People like to be IN a market that's making new highs. We're pretty much at a top right now, and people are going to want to see a good-sized correction at some point before jumping in again.

I have clients who drink one or two pops a day, and that's just part of their gig. It's the volume that is killing us.

I don't know why kids do this. They say they want stuff and then they go and do stuff like this.

I'm a little shocked by how our defense played. We've always been a good defensive team, but four five quarters in row now, we haven't shown up.

If it's temporary, I'm fine with that. These people need help.

If it weren't for the faith-based groups helping out, the city of Waveland would be half the size it is now.

If we see a Fed that looks or smells like in any way that they'll take their foot off the pedal, you'll see a market that's really going to take off. If that doesn't happen, you'll definitely see a bit of a pullback here, though I think there's enough upside bias to keep it realistic.

Today I had the jitterbugs a little bit because I haven't been out here in so long. But I know I can compete, and I know I have the skills to play, ... Now's my time.

What we've seen is a definite shift toward professionals, skilled professionals. That was a market that didn't really exist as much in Vermont five or 10 years ago.

Kids have the potential, but many don't come from families and neighborhoods that allow them to afford college at the current prices. There are limited alternatives to TAP.

I think in the first half, we had the opportunities there, we just didn't put them away,

It could be something as simple as eating breakfast, moving your body more or getting more sleep.

I think we did a lot of growing up tonight. We are a very young team, but we kept our composure and focus and were able to finish the match in straight games. I'm very proud of these girls overcoming a lot so far this season and being able to continually focus on volleyball.

I think what has happened to him is out of line. They've blown this out of proportion big time. He didn't mean any harm. Anybody who knows him knows he's a sarcastic person. What he said was more of an analogy.

I think this is one of those times where it's hard to be bearish. We're still in a market that can easily fall prey to all kinds of intraday activity, up or down, but I think we have room to go higher over the next two to three weeks.

I think this is one of those times where it's hard to be bearish.

I think we actually thought we were better than we really are,

Laura's a good athlete who's going to compete for a starting job in the back from Day One. She's a tough kid who is capable of making a big impact on our defense.

Jessie took away three breakaway attempts, which kept us in the game. She did a fantastic job for us in goal.

I was falling down and just hit it. It was all luck. I just hit it. We can play a lot better than we played tonight.

That was the first thing that hit me. I knew I had to find a place to try and finish my senior year, so I'd have a chance.

We came into a team that was much bigger than we were, and a little more athletic too.

We have worked a lot on that trap defense. We were able to move the ball once we got the lead and spread the floor.

We can't afford to let our neighborhood regress to what it used to be. I think we can do something much better with that building.

Trevor has been playing phenomenal for us. He is the heart and soul of this team, and I am very proud of the way he played.

We get along so good, it isn't something we have to make work. We all got our places.

We can build a 50-foot concrete wall around a refinery, it just costs a whole lot of money, ... That kind of storm is extremely rare. At some point, somebody said, 'This is a risk I can live with.

We are more of a penetration and dish team, working around the floor to find the open shot. Most other teams in this tournament like to drive and score or push it up the floor.

Whenever I check out a vehicle from our stock, I always use a hybrid.

We knew it was going to be a great game. We got them at our place; they got us at theirs -- that's even up. That makes the next two pretty important, being I-8 conference games. We knew what we needed to do to stop them, but we didn't do a good job with what our game plan was.

We're real young, and we've got a long ways to go.

We need to spend time resting up, but we still expect them to be competitive and have good times.

This was a typical 9 a.m. game, and it looked that way, but we'll take it. I think we thought that Newark was a little weaker than what they were, but they did a great job and stepped up with an undermanned team. We need wins, so we'll take it.

We lost a tough match last night but I still think we played fairly well. I have to give these girls credit, we have played three matches in a row this week and all three we have had to battle to stay in. We are starting to get our offensive weapons tuned in a little better but still have a long way to go. Our defense and passing abilities have kept us in games so far this season.

We had talked about being in the game right away. Their (Yorkville) plan was to get up early and try to maintain it, and they held on. I thought they did a good job hitting shots when they needed to.

We try to design our pavements as efficiently as we can. If we have a limited supply of money, and we do, we might have to reduce the length of the job, delay other jobs, or look for other ways to save money.

We felt a little vulnerable. For a lot of towns like ours, we can become the only place available for sex offenders.

We did a lot of things right tonight. They're always happy when I give them a day off, and this is a time when I can feel good about giving them a day off.

Andy's from the Top End, the Northern Territory, and I'm from the bottom end, down in Victoria, so we're from two different groups of people.

Each time, the team that's won had a quick start. We got the lead right away at our place, and, at their place, they got the lead right away.

There's still an element of the self-fulfilling prophecy here, in that you're seeing people jump into a rally just because it's the end of the year and we're supposed to have a rally. I wouldn't be surprised if we're lollygagging around here until the end of the year.

There's still a lot of rubble to sift through,

The whole situation just makes you value playing that much more.

After I got settled in a little bit, I started getting comfortable, ... Like coach always says, you let the mistakes go because if you hold on to them you're going to keep making mistakes. All I can do is look forward.

Oil is a huge concern, interest rates are a huge concern, and you have to be concerned about the two of them together.

You're looking at the southeast quadrant of the city of Houston, from downtown to Galveston Bay, being underwater.

This is definitely a nice bounce here today, but there are a lot of stocks that have no reason to rally that have rallied. I hope it sticks, but I'm going to watch cautiously here over the next couple days.

This is the first game that we were able to put an entire match together. We played very well at times and not so good at others, but those down times are becoming fewer and fewer.

Think of the investor polls as a crowded theater. If the polls are telling us everyone is in the market, then, if the smallest thing happens, everyone tries to run though one door.

A lot of people were saying we wouldn't make it back. We wanted to prove everybody wrong. Then Hurricane Katrina comes.

They made their free throws down the end. A big key was we didn't do a very good job defensively by letting them in the lane, but we did a good job limiting their 3s which is their main focal point.

They have a pretty good following and good name recognition, ... Most of them are kind of like what traditional secular music is playing, but with a Christian message. From top to bottom, this is probably the best one we've had.

There were some contributing things, but I made mistakes, and that's why I'm in this position. I'm not going to hide from it. If anything, it's going to make me that much more focused, that much more hungry. Some people think I won't be able to bounce back, but that's my motivation.

They're a really good team. We need to go back to practice, get a little more fit and continue to work on the offensive end.

They have talked with us about various possibilities, including tearing the building down. If they do take the building down, they're going to work with the city to come up with a design that fits.

It's a combination of being nervous and excited. That's where the music really helps me. It allows me to get more focused on swimming, and not think about going up against some of these guys.

It's a great privilege for us to do that,

It's not only the calories that are killing us, it's the other stuff that goes with it.

It's still a matter of a little unfamiliarity with some of the girls. We've moved some kids around and made some changes, and they're still getting used to it.

The blue chips have a nice little advance going, but the semiconductors are really dragging things down.

That is the biggest opportunity that I would see - more retail outlets for Kroger in Florida, where Albertson's is one of two major chains.

Take organic cranberry juice and add 1/4 cup to a glass of water. This keeps the body very healthy and tastes good.

I've had to respond myself to say I'm not able to attend due to these circumstances, but I'm here today, hopefully to provide whatever they need.

They know what a critical point we are at now. They are prepared to step up.

This is kind of a mixed bag. The selling is probably investors just taking profits before the weekend right now, and likely to be contained.

The new building will be primarily for hay storage,

The knee-jerk reaction was things aren't as sure as everybody thought, but when I look at this, this is right in the middle of what my expectations were. They left a rate hike in the deck here in case they need it, but that doesn't mean more of the same.

I kind of messed up on that one.

I'm leaving them, ... I probably ain't a 4.1 anymore, but I'm still a low 4.2.

I'm looking to either return one for a touchdown or get big yardage this week, ... I'm trying to make everything better.

I'm following the match on the US Army's ballistic missile testing range in the Pacific, where it's 07.25am on the 13th October,

I need a coach on the floor and that's what I continue to stress to the team. I need someone to be a bit of a cheerleader. Trevor has done that toward the end of the year.

In the first half, we just laid over. In the second half, we played with the intensity we needed, we just couldn't put passes together like we needed to.

In the first half we didn't execute anything. I told the kids it's a shame to see them work that hard and have to scramble back to dig their way out of a hole created in the first half by not executing.

I helped him and his dad ride it out. That was a real experience. It's just crazy to see trees fall and snap. All the water -- it was just crazy.

I probably have 30 or 40 market timing indicators that are sentiment based.

I probably would have ended up going back to school (at Louisville), because I have 12 (credit) hours left. But I wasn't going to give up that easily, ... I know I can play. It's just time to get over the injuries. And if I'm not here, I'll be somewhere else.

Investors have heard in the last few months from the likes of analysts that that's been an area of performance. The migration into smaller cap areas makes a lot of sense.

It has changed our lives. If it weren't for the faith-based groups helping out, the city of Waveland would be half the size it is now.

Before Tiffany was on the team, we were a very good team. Now, we're a championship-type team. She can make the ball do things that normal people can't make it do.

I didn't think it would be anything like this. Amazing.

We want revenge. We played well against them last time, and we feel like it's our turn.

Truth can be sliced a hundred different ways, and it will still remain true, but falsehood shrinks into the shadows, hoping never to be tested, with excuses aplenty.

Women are emotional! And being an artist and a woman is probably more difficult because you have more stuff to overcome.

For a man it's like if something goes on on-stage you'll have a drink at the bar and talk about it. With a female artist it's a big deal, you have a meeting and she's mad at you for the next couple of shows!

Nobody's perfect and I don't want to try and portray that but I'm genuinely doing the best I can out here; trying to support my family the best that I can, trying to make them proud and happy and everybody having the best life they can live. I'm trying to provide a better life for them than I had.

I take my job very seriously and I work the best that I can on every drum that I hit. I want all the drums and cymbals to sound the best. I strive for perfection and I won't take anything less.

When you hear tracks everybody immediately thinks that nobody is really playing or singing. That's not the case at all.

The reason for backing tracks is to not veer off too far from the record and have what the fans actually want to hear. Artists use backing tracks just so they can stay close to the record and what the consumer heard for the first time. It's not to be confused with lip synching or anything like that cos that's not happening at all.

I really want to work on a record of mine and I'm just getting inspiration from different sources like one of my favourite bands, Led Zeppelin, and Radiohead.
