You had to admire him. He had a very tough job to do.

You guys have an awesome job. I don't envy you but I admire your taking it on. The city is very interested in cooperating. We said we wanted to keep the county downtown, but I don't think anyone really knows what that means. We have a 100-year history with the county downtown. It's not so much of an economic thing. But my mind has no grasp of what we're talking about. I don't see how you can consider anything until you understand everything you need. It's frustrating to talk about this until we know how much we need.

What they did, in terms of offering emotional support, was superb. They were sensitive and supportive, and their lawyering was thoroughly professional. I admire them enormously.

'The X Factor' seems to be more about building up personalities and people in tears. And it's not a new idea. The pre-Beatles pop world was full of manufactured pop stars. The thing is that you can't imagine any of the artists you look back at and admire ever going on 'The X Factor.'

These are two great clubs and history is history. We admire George Best as well, but that has no influence over tomorrow's game.

I've said all along I really admire his toughness and his will to come back. At some point, it's only natural to be a bit shook up by this type of things. We've got to help him through this and bring him back, both for the team and for him as a person.

The thing I admire about Ricky is that Ricky is going to be Ricky, regardless of what people think about him. That's not real common in society. People change who they are to try to fit in. Ricky doesn't really care what people think. I admire that.

The thing about 'Schutt' is that she's never met a shot she didn't like. And I admire her for stepping up and taking those shots in a game like this. She's really matured a lot this year, and we've seen her develop into more of a leader as the season goes on.

The things that I admire him most for are his competitiveness and an ability to rise out of a rough neighborhood. The thing we all saw about him was his great love for his fans, in particular children. He just had a tremendous personality. He never forgot where he came from.

Teams like New England and Philadelphia win the old-fashioned way. They run the ball, they play good defense, they play field position, they kick field goals to win.

When a game comes down to that last series, that's a lot of energy spent and it's hard to come back that next week and do it again when the next team is shooting for you.

Presently, I really admire Rebecca Warren, the artist. She continues to keep creating wonderful sculpture. And I met her, and she is really cool.

Of course 'we humans' have a funny relationship with the beings with whom we share our planet. We eat them, we care for them, we admire them, we use them.

So that we can truly admire this wonderful painting we will have to know ourselves first of all, to accept our limits and understand that if we really want to have access to this wonderful painting of the existence of the world of the Logical Coefficient 2 we will have to look inside ourselves, to see first of all the unlimited Universe, to recognise the infinite from which we were conceived and that lies in each of us in order to be granted access to the infinite outside us.

Now, I admire The Sims as a game, but from a story viewpoint, there are two glaring problems. First, your relationship with those characters is like they're bugs in a jar. There's no empathy. And secondly, you've got this clunky, chemistry-set interface between you and them, with bars to show how tired or angry they are. It's all tell not show.

That's what professional means. You don't settle for mediocrity. I admire that about him. He wants to be the best. And he knows there's work to be done.

You see her extreme ... pain about leaving her family for work, her husband wanting her to be Sadie, Sadie, married lady, and her wanting to go to work for the Party and the state. You have to admire the fact that she made a stand for what she needed to do as a human being, and just the degree of service out there.

You see a lot of good coaches just coaching their players, making changes and trying to help their teams win. I see Larry Brown sitting guys down. Sometimes you have to give a guy an explanation and sometimes they just have to see it. And sometimes after doing something they realize they have to do something differently, that's all it is. I admire those coaches and I want to be a good coach.

The whole Hollywood spin machine works together to create images that are impossible for any of us to live up to. They purposefully set us up to admire and even covet something we can never have.

This being the longest sports season of the year and having to train indoors, you have to admire any kid for sticking with it and doing as well as they do. It's the only co-ed situation of the team sports and there's a lot of camaraderie and support of the underclassman. I think the athletes had a fun season. It was fun for me to be a part of.

They've got a good system and they play it well. They play a lot of people and they wear you down. Give Bubba (Skelton) credit. His kids play hard every game. You have to admire what they've done.

A lot of guys said he was off the wall, he's crazy. I found him to be a guy with a lot of energy. He played the game hard. He just wanted to go out and play. Sometimes his emotion got in the way. He would lose control and tear things. I talked to him and reasoned with him. I listened to him. We developed a fondness for each other. I admire him for the way he goes about his work.

They really have been the core group. These fellows in their late 70s and early 80s - I just admire these volunteers so much. They put so much time and energy into helping people.

As much as I admire Jim Gibson, I don't see how he can get out of the primary. The people who will vote in a Democratic primary in the middle of August are not likely to vote for him unless he can establish some real Democratic bona fides.

It takes a special athlete to compete at such a high level in both football and basketball. James came here to play both sports, and I admire the way he handles the dual role.

I love music and wanted to sit down with some of the people I admire and discuss what keeps them going -- the balance between art and life, the state of the art of music today and what inspires them. Most true artists care about music as a pure, passionate art form, but can get caught in the trap of the business which, sadly, has now become more important than the artist or even the music itself.

I mean, I think I admire my wife the most out of anyone. She's really smart, in a practical way that I don't have. We balance each other.

If you look at the film like we did this morning, he's making more plays after the first and second hit. He just seems to squirm out of there and when guys kind of relax, he pops out of there for 30, 40 more yards. He just never stops. You admire that in a back. When we get people to him, we're going to make sure we get him on the ground and nobody relaxes until he is.

In the London production, Powell was represented much more, if you like, as a hero. I admire him as a man who understands what collateral damage is, who understands what a military operation is, and who knows what it's like to see people's lives destroyed by bombs. On the other hand, a number of people who saw the play in London, who were as they say, 'close,' did say, 'You've taken too benign a view of Powell.' And in this production in New York, I've toughened up the writing about Powell. I've come to believe that 'conflicted' would be a very polite word for his UN presentation.

I guess I've grown to admire Queen Elizabeth II more. I've always struggled with my feelings about the Royal Family. I am a supporter. I'm not someone who thinks we should get rid of them. But what I've struggled with is the lack of emotionality that the Queen seems to share.

I just feel it is important for a guy if he is struggling, especially younger guys, to know what it's like, on their own. Not run to them every minute. Let them fight through it. He did that. That's why I admire what he did. I think it'll be good for him 10 years down the line.

Show me what a people admire, and I will tell you everything about them that matters.

He took risks, a lot of challenges and slowly you'd hear 'Vince Vaughn's in this TV commercial', and 'Vince has got a role in a movie'. It was all from his own luck and pluck and I admire the guy for that.

Gary's an interesting guy. I like Gary, he's very different, ... All his antics and his talking, you have to admire him for backing it up. He has an uncanny ability to do it when it counts. Don't try to figure him out he's like Dennis Rodman, without the tattoos.

I admire people who just do the right thing, not looking to screw people up. I love all people.
