Melissa Rauch

When I was out of work when I first moved to L.A., one of the first things my husband and I did was buy season's passes to Disney, and whenever I was bummed out about work, we would go to Space Mountain, and it was like a physical injection of anti-depressants.

Sofia Boutella

When I was little, I went to the Sahara desert and met an older woman with beautiful earrings that came all the way down to her stomach. She told me, 'For us Tuareg, jewelry is not meant for decoration. It absorbs negative energy that comes your way.' So think twice when you buy a vintage ring!

Dave Morris

When I was in France, ... people selling the cheese and buying the cheese were ordinary people, not sophisticates.

Marshall Cohen

When it becomes the third week, the novelty is going to wear off, but the consumers will still be buying one more item just because of the fact that they're going to be having ... more in their pocket. That one item is going to add up and it is going to benefit the retailer more than the consumer.

Maripol

When I was a child, I lived in Morocco, and I would always buy a lot of beads from the markets and to make jewellery for friends. Later, at 18, I would do my own clothes and make my own patterns. When I first came to New York, people just assumed I was a stylist because I was so into fashion.

Nick Saban

We're modern-day gladiators, that mental toughness, if you will, is really important to have in a good team. It's got to permeate your team and there has to be a core group of guys that buy in and believe in that.

Nick Saban

We're modern-day gladiators, and that mental toughness is really important to have (in) a good team. It's got to permeate your team, and there has to be a core group of guys that buy in and believe in that.

Jonathan Moyo

When I was in government it was routine for these CIO agents and their factional counterparts in government and ZANU PF politicians to abuse me as a scapegoat for anything they were unable to explain or defend.

Sheriff Norman

We're so fortunate that we can now conduct an investigation into how this thing got going rather than have to explain to the victims' family members why something like this could have happened. I don't know what we would have done if something like this had really happened.

Keir Dullea

Kubrick never explained the ending to us, or what his intentions were. He didn't intend for it to be a predictable film.

John Niven

Whenever someone like a plumber or a mechanic tries to explain something technical to me, I listen for about three seconds before it all just becomes white noise, like Charlie Brown's teacher.

Doug Hudgins

When we did that, we found that putting a little nitrogen in these molecules explained the troubling molecules. This discovery takes this reservoir of molecules that we didn't think were interesting and transforms all this stuff into something of biologic interest.

Bertrand Russel

What a man believes upon grossly insufficient evidence is an index into his desires -- desires of which he himself is often unconscious. If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way.

Ryan Hunter

We got turned down by a couple of other high schools who didn't necessarily want us to film a movie that had anything to do with drugs there. We tried to explain it was a satire that was anti-drug, but it was no good.

Rudi Giuliani

We believe we found the letter that explains the reason why the woman there was infected, and the original powder that was examined turned out to be negative,

Jim Ratcliffe

Unions can play a valuable role in large organisations where it is difficult to talk to a thousand people. They can negotiate annual pay awards with management, represent grievance cases, and explain and advise on complicated changes in employment or pension law.

Joe Hudak

Ted Sim

When we were fundraising to go down to the Detroit area, we figured we had to raise $10,000 to $15,000 to finance the trip. It's four nights in a hotel plus all the means.

Steve Nash

When I was in my last year in high school, I decided I wanted to try to make it in the NBA. So I went to college and figured out I could do it. Once I figured out I could play in the NBA, I also figured I could be an All-Star. I knew I could do it.

Gene Corrigan

Tom was the one who figured that out. Tom is the one who led us here.

Mathias Kiwanuka

We're starting to figure out what kind of a team we are. We played Florida State well last week, but we still lost. We're not looking for moral victories. We had to come here and win.

Brian Brandtner

We're starting to figure out our groove a little bit better on offense -- what we're looking to give, what we're looking to do. When you get the shots you want, a lot more times than not you're going to score.

Mark Recchi

We're starting to figure it out. We've got a lot of new faces. We've got balance between young and old. And everybody's trying to push in the right direction to find the right way to play.

Greg Bensel

We're going to go to San Antonio and set up our operations. The players will have a few days off to try to deal with their families, deal with their situations at home and try to get their families to San Antonio, and then we'll go to work next week to prepare for the season. We're talking to the league office and looking at conflict dates with certain sites, and trying to figure out what we're going to do.

Greg Nasello

We've always struggled to score goals. That's why it's been so exciting to see the girls put these type of games together.

Jillian Rose Reed

When I was in high school, I had already kind of been working in the industry and had done a couple of acting jobs. There were definitely some girls that were either jealous or thought I was a snob. I was just trying to be a teenage girl and go to high school and have fun like everybody else!

Dave Hohenthal

We're midway through the season now and I think the girls are starting to progress. We've got a lot more work to do, but I think that we're going in the right direction.

Suzanne Yoculan

We're solid on every event. We just need to put all four events together in the same night and I think we can push the 198 score. The floor is the event that we love and something we want to be No. 1 in country on. The girls take pride in that.

Mike Turnan

We're going to throw a number of girls on her. You have to post up on the elbow, not down on the block. If we can minimize her and their 3-point shooters, we have shot.

John Peterson

We're going to need to get some shots to fall if we want to win against Big Timber. The girls showed the intensity we need in the fourth quarter today, but we need that all the time.

Katie Aselton

You put three girls in a house, and all of a sudden before you know it, you're talking about boys and drinking whiskey, and things go down and you get deep real quick.

Tim Bryant

Debbie Williams

When we dropped to Class A, the door of opportunity opened, so I told the girls 'let's take advantage of it.' Right now, that's what they're doing.

Jaime Winstone

When I was a child, I wanted to be... a fairy. I still do, really, except that now I've now graduated to wanting to be a pixie.

Dan Rohrs

You don't lose those kinds of individuals and have your team go unaffected. But you build a program that allows younger runners to develop and take the place of those who graduate when they're called upon to contribute, and we have that here.

Scott Hall

We would require more of students to graduate than traditional public schools.

Curt Fredrickson

We graduated so many seniors that this is really a young team. We're going to take our lumps just because we're so young. We've got new pitching because we lost five pitchers. We lost all three catchers. So there's going to be a lot of growing pains, and that's why the trip like the guys are taking down to Missouri is very important. They're going to get a lot of games in and we can kind of sort things out a little bit to try to get ready for conference play down the road.

Matt McGowan

We graduated our top five boys, too, so we're searching for people to replace those points.

Keith Wilbur

We graduated only one starter in Catherine Flynn , but she was our leading goal scorer last year. I don't think we have one player that is going to score like Catherine did last year, but as a team, I think we will be able to fill that void by having several players increase their offensive production.

Ron Kanaskie

We graduated more than they did. That?s the bottom line. I?m not trying to be trite, but that?s exactly what it is.

Chris Matthews

We graduated five starters and eight kids in all from last year's team (which made its second trip in as many years to the state playoffs). Even with that nearly every kid we have on this year's team played some varsity last season.

Jim Fleming

We've always let our guys like Miguel play toward the end, but not the whole season. They all want to play for their hometown teams down there. So we oblige within reason.

Marc Kudisch

When we were looking for a weekend place, ... Shannon was working at Jacob's Pillow in the Berkshires, and I was tooling around. I called her all excited about getting a home up there. But she said: 'Yeah, but it's a three-hour drive. When do we have the time for a three-hour drive? With our one day off, we'll come up and we'll have to go home right away.'

R. Ingram

When we were 1-6, all we focused on was that we were better than that. We knew it; we just had to prove it. We've come a long way and it's great to be back to .500 and to know we'll get a home game in the tournament.

Sharon Hess

When we went to talk to those families, we found out that one of the families was originally from Herrin, so we were able to quickly place them in one of our vacant homes in Herrin. Our agency covers 24 counties, and if we don't have a house available, we can still help a family by making referrals.

Natalie Cole

When I was old enough to walk home alone from school, I loved seeing our house from a distance. It sat on the corner of South Muirfield Road and West 4th Street and had this proud, majestic look. But I rarely went through the front door. The back was more dramatic.

Lauren Herring

When I was little, I used to feel a lot of pressure. Before matches, I'd want to throw up. But now, I've adapted. I do get homesick sometimes, but I have to remember why I am there and what I have to do to go pro.

Mario J. Molina

When I was in elementary school, I was very interested in science already. I must have been ten or eleven years old. I started experiments with chemistry sets at my home in Mexico. I was able to borrow a bathroom and convert it to a laboratory. My parents supported it. They were pleased. My friends just tolerated it.

Mary Roach

When I was a kid, I hated everything. I was really skinny, and I'd have a milkshake with an egg in it. Growing up, I ate, like, five different foods. I was not an adventurous eater. But as soon as I left home, that all changed and from that point on, I've been a pretty enthusiastic eater of new and strange food.

Desarae Garland

When I was a freshman living in the dorms I went home a lot, but now that I live off-campus I really can't stay home for a long period of time.

Karen Finerman

I was raised a Calvinist. You might think you know what that means, but let me explain it the way my mother preached it to my three sisters and me back when we were at home: 'I buy my girls Calvin Klein clothes, so that's all they know. Then, when they graduate from college, they have to figure out how to pay for them themselves.'

Oprah Winfrey

I had literally starved myself for four months ? not a morsel of food ? to get into that pair of size 10 Calvin Klein jeans,

Honor Blackman

I have a Calvin Klein travel handbag with four compartments that fold up. You can keep your tickets, passport and documents all together.

Mehcad Brooks

I had wanted to be a Calvin Klein model since I was 17. Marky Mark in his Calvin Kleins was the epitome of male sexuality. That was something I worked for.

Yvette Girouard

Stephanie Hill was just phenomenal today. Leslie Klein continues her tear. Camille Harris showed power from the second hole that we have been lacking.

Richard Blumenthal

Joel Klein has taken antitrust enforcement to a new and higher level of intellectual rigor and forceful advocacy and protection of the public, ... He's been more proactive and consumer minded than many other antitrust enforcers. Joel is a hands-on enforcer who is enormously energetic and supportive of his staff, inspires tremendous loyalty, and has very insightful judgment.

Buzz Lagos

I was glad Josh Wolff was out. He has been so hot and so dynamic. He would have caused us trouble. They brought in Chris Klein in the second half. I thought we contained him pretty well. He was another guy we were worried about.

Rudy Fuller

I think they did well. I thought they came out and they made some freshman mistakes early but I think they battled through it and came through, obviously, with Michael Klein getting the goal. But I thought all of them, for their first game at the college level, did OK. They'll continue to improve.

Mike Greene

Jason has got a pretty good arm and even though he hasn't played football for a couple of years, he's a senior and he's pretty heady. It just didn't make sense to have him standing on the sideline. We wanted to use some of his leadership ability. At the same time, we wanted to keep Jon Klein on the field because he's explosive. Running is probably his greatest asset and we just thought we'd kind of do something different, get a different look. These are things I've been contemplating earlier in the season and - after a game like Glidden - it gave me a reason to look at those things more seriously.

Tim Graham

We've always kind of made an agreement that our sub-varsity teams wouldn't leave the area. We might go to Shelton or Elma with our C-team, but we won't go to Tacoma.

Scott Walker

We've always had the rallying cry of, 'Hey, nobody out there thinks we can do it,' and that was fun. We've never really had a star player, and there's never really been a case of 'So-and-so didn't produce and that's why we're losing.' So it might take a little adjustment, but I think we're definitely a lot better team with him.

Odell Thurman

When we were coming into the (scouting) combine, they asked who was the best back you played against, and I said (Williams) the whole time. He's going to be great. You look at him, and you might not think he's all that strong. But he's a power runner. It's the style he plays.

Kyle Whittingham

When we went to 12 games, everybody kind of went into panic mode because scheduling a game is not quite as easy as you might think. Usually, these games are scheduled five, six, seven years in advance.

Dave Parker

When I wasn't selected for an interview for council, I kind of thought this might be coming,

Mike Curb

When I was lieutenant governor, Jerry Brown was governor and you might recall that he spent just about a year of my term out of the state.

Rocky Carroll

When I was a kid growing up, there might be 10 shows on the air that had been on for ten seasons or eleven seasons. 'Gunsmoke' ran for over twenty years.

Matt Sayers

Tomorrow, you might see a passing shower around the midday.

Patrik Schowitz

We remain positive on equities but it might be time to take money off the table in the most straightforward (cyclical) sectors.

Jon von

We've always stood up well in comparison with our competitors in technical tests but users disliked that they had to pay $39 and that we had ads. We decided to eliminate these obstacles in order to attract users.

Bob Davis

We've always had a focus as a company on bottom line and fiscal responsibility, ... And I think especially now in the days of Internet consolidation and I think more of a discriminating investor, it pays off very well for us.

Mitchell Hurwitz

When we were making 'Arrested Development,' it was the hardest thing I'd ever done. You know, nobody was watching. We weren't getting feedback. The job wasn't paying very well. But the one thing I did feel confident about was: No one will ever be able to do this again. Because no one would be stupid enough to try.

Ken Henderson

We're making less money now than we did 30 years ago. If they have to pay more, they're going to have to cut back somewhere else.

Ned Walker

We remain deeply concerned about any interest rate relief that allows another carrier to artificially mask its obligations, potentially paying nothing at all for many years, receive all of the benefits and ultimately leave the taxpayer to foot the bill.

Ken Dey

We remain confident we will continue to see an increase in wages if we can successfully bring in more companies that pay higher wages. Our ultimate goal is to get ahead of inflation.

Larry Krantz

We respect the rights of Texans to have fun. But people need to realize that everyone pays when the state has to constantly stop what it's doing to repair this kind of damage. It takes away from our other responsibilities like building and maintaining roadways.

Dennis Phillips

We're going to pay user fees for water and sewer and it's my understanding the burden of extension lines will be on the shoulders of the developers, not the city,

Bill Smith

We're going to pay it one way or another. We think paying based on what the actual costs are over a 5 percent difference is a good way to do this. It's not that we're unconcerned; it's just the price of doing business.

Bill Bryk

We've always preached winning. Winning is a part of development. We've always preached that. You try not to sacrifice development in order to win.

Bob Day

The other times, we just preached at you, ... This time around, it's like you're getting christened in church. This is the full immersion version.

Karen Finerman

I was raised a Calvinist. You might think you know what that means, but let me explain it the way my mother preached it to my three sisters and me back when we were at home: 'I buy my girls Calvin Klein clothes, so that's all they know. Then, when they graduate from college, they have to figure out how to pay for them themselves.'

Danny Labasan

We did everything we were suppose to do in the first and second (quarters). I have always preached that anytime you can play a good team that they're going to come out (strong) in the third, especially in the third, and Newport came out in the third and we threw the ball away and the game got away. We came back in the fourth and we battled our way back as much as possible.

Michael Strahan

One thing about Foxy, I know they are going to be physical. That is the one thing he preached here defensively.

Thomas Keating

Redemption basically is about holistic health, if you want to translate it into modern parlance. What I suggest - based on the Christian tradition but not often preached - is that you can't enter into the fullness of the Pascal mystery of the redemption unless there is a radical transformation of motivation within you.

Thomas Griffith

Its attitude, which it has preached and practiced, is skepticism. Now, it finds, the public is applying that skepticism to the press.

Tim Tebow

I think number one is what my mom and dad preached to me when I was a little kid: Just because you may have athletic ability and you may be able to play a sport doesn't make you any more special than anybody else. Doesn't mean God loves you more than anybody else.

Friedrich Muller

He who drinks in the law lives happily with a serene mind: the sage rejoices always in the law, as preached by the elect.

Angeles Mastretta

When I was in my 20s, I wanted to be tough. I discovered that I didn't want to be the woman I was raised to be - a good, traditional wife. When I went out in the world to find a husband, I found that husbands weren't ready to accept the kind of woman I was going to be.

Ken Lynch

Tom was a brilliant chairman who raised thousands of pounds for the association and I am sure Mitchell will also do a great job.

David Kendall

We respectfully object to the committee's broad request for all information concerning all persons who have contributed or pledged more than $5,000 to the foundation. There are serious and substantial legal, precedential and public policy issues raised by this catch-all request.

Dave Clark

When we got to the second half of the year, he raised his level of play to another level. He became more of a leader out on the floor for us. He made some big plays at both ends of the floor when we needed something to happen.

Carol Bruce

We found some things that we feel confident there will be additional savings. And, we feel that we have raised the level of awareness about the fact that we need to be aware of cost in the future.

Bob Phillips

What's stunning about their ability to raise reasonable doubt there is that the facts clearly show that he intentionally slit her throat despite his jailhouse confession to the contrary. Somehow Brittain and Williams raised enough reasonable doubt on that question to avoid the needle.

Bob James

We're just overwhelmed by the generosity of Great Falls citizens and those in the surrounding area. We're really pleased with how much money we've raised in this short amount of time.

Howard Schultz

We want to stay here. We love this city. We raised our kids here. We built our businesses here and we're being forced to accept a set of circumstances that are not acceptable. We can't continue to lose this kind of money.

Cheryl James

One of the speakers asked how many women had been harassed or abused sexually in their life? There were thousands of women in the audience, and almost every one of them raised her hand.

Adam Phillips

United Nations is an organization of global neighbors. I really wanted to be here to raise our voices together to our leaders to do more for our brothers and sisters who are poor.

Charles M. Schulz

Brothers and sisters should never be in the same family.

Washington Post

The Pointer Sisters have always faced a crisis in their identity. They have dabbled in so many musical streams that, while everybody likes them, nobody knows exactly what to do with them.

Peggy Conlon

We are proud to join Mrs. Bush and continue our successful partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America with this new advertising, which has the potential to positively impact so many young people in our country. I am confident that these touching ads will encourage many more adults to become mentors and bring magic into a child's life.

Mike Pomerenke

We've got an opportunity to take the third seed out of the conference and we may have to beat Cascade or Sisters to do it. ... We'll see what happens.

Elizabeth Perkins

My sisters are very academically inclined so whenever they would fix me up, it would always be from someone in their world, people they would find attractive. When they came to the door in suits, it was over.

Karen Finerman

I was raised a Calvinist. You might think you know what that means, but let me explain it the way my mother preached it to my three sisters and me back when we were at home: 'I buy my girls Calvin Klein clothes, so that's all they know. Then, when they graduate from college, they have to figure out how to pay for them themselves.'

Jim Yong Kim

My father came by himself across the North Korean border when he was seventeen. And hasn't seen his brothers or sisters or parents since then. And he died some time ago, but never saw any of his relatives. My mother was a refugee in war-torn Korea.

John Lewis

I was so inspired by Dr. King that in 1956, with some of my brothers and sisters and first cousins - I was only 16 years old - we went down to the public library trying to check out some books, and we were told by the librarian that the library was for whites only and not for colors. It was a public library.

John Carr

We've always said controllers are like runways -- it takes three to five years to make a good one,

Jamie Dixon

We've always played three guards in certain instances over the years. A number of programs do that. Oftentimes, your smaller players are your better players. Last year, our bigger guys were our better players.

Philip Goodhart

We've always had a broader cultural coverage, particularly in the last three or four years We have short stories in every issue. We have more of an interior life. Perhaps the mistake was not to make more noise about that in the earlier issues.

Adam Rothberg

We've always believed in Dan Brown's exceptional talent as an author. Everyone in publishing knows that sometimes it takes three or more books to reach critical mass and we're happy to have ultimately sold millions of copies of his books.

Ozzie Guillen

When we were really struggling, you didn't see guys get two hits in a game. Any time someone got one hit, one walk -- nobody could put it together. Tonight when we were hitting the ball, one guy got three hits, one had two RBIs, one had two hits, all of a sudden you don't need nine guys to get a hit -- just two or three to get a hit at the right time.

Arron Afflalo

When we were down nine, it became a kind of desperation time for us. But three minutes is a long time.

Marty Schottenheimer

When I was playing, it was 10 or 12 plays that determined the outcome of a game. Now, because of the balance of talent in the league, it's come down to three or four plays a game. All you're looking for is to be in a position where you have a chance to win at the end. We haven't been able to do that, in a number of cases but we just keep chipping at it, trying to find a way to turn that corner.

Jason Peters

When I was little I'd design these dresses and show them to my family. There'd always be three or four or five (designs) on the fridge.

Justina Machado

When I was in my 20s, I used to go crazy. I used to work out two or three hours a day, like cycling; I was never anorexic, just picky. When I was in my 30s, I'd go back and forth, now that I'm 41, I'm like, 'Whatever, man!' For the most part, I just do a regular workout.
