Alan Quotations | Page 2

We wanted to come out and score right away and get some momentum. Alan paved the hole and then it was just me and the safeties. I had the easy part.

The original Beach Boys are Brian, Dennis and Carl Wilson, Mike Love, and Alan Jardine.

We always knew that we didn't want to show Alan Turing in the act of suicide - it was our feeling that would tip over into melodrama too quickly and seem over-the-top.

What (Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan) says is going to be very important because people like to read between the lines.

We just wanted to come out here and play hard, ... We knew that we had Alan Horne on the mound and he's going put up a lot of zeroes.

When Alan talked, nobody understood what he said, but the market believed him.

When Alan Greenspan was a consultant in private practice, he once said what he did for a living was 'statistical espionage'

We will soon learn whether the Greenspan era has created a deep reservoir of faith in the Federal Reserve, or just in Alan Greenspan.

We try to tone down the 'Alan is so great' kind of stuff. We don't want him to get a big head, and he doesn't have one. Alan is a very balanced person.

To be honest, I grew up with Alan Menken's music.

We went through Alan Eagleson days, and we were told to trust him, and the guy ended up in jail, ... We'll just leave it at that.

Both have probably as their biggest accomplishment deficit reduction. Both re-appointed Alan Greenspan to the Fed, both pursued free trade through NAFTA and the GATT.

Bringing Michael to St. James' Park will rank alongside the signing of Alan Shearer as my proudest moment at Newcastle United.

Even today, when the Obama administration has liberalized travel to Cuba - and failed to reverse that liberalization when Alan Gross was imprisoned - there are limits.

Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan recently stated that increases in unit labor costs would be one of his major concerns if productivity falls as he anticipates.

Everything was perfect because it was a win, he scored from open play, which I think he would have preferred to have done, and it couldn't be a more perfect day for Alan Shearer, the rest of the players and the fans.

There's something about Alan Arkin. Even when he's doing nothing, he makes me laugh. I've always had that reaction to him: he's got a weary world-view that makes him perfectly cast.

There's only maybe two pages in Jane's book that deals with the marriage because she was really talking only about her becoming an EMT and going through this midlife crisis, ... So when Alan Hines wrote the screenplay, he sat down with Michael Stern and really got down to the bottom of what was going on in that relationship. The work was there in the script.

It would be nice if Alan was to get the record. I hope he scores the winner.

The secret to Greenspan's success remains a secret. When the next leader of the Fed takes his seat behind the chairman's desk and opens the top drawer in search of Alan Greenspan's magic formula, he will be sorely disappointed.

The talk is that the Fed is going to be getting more aggressive soon, and may start raising rates by 50 basis points at a time. It's not going to happen this time, because (Fed Chairman) Alan Greenspan knows he needs to prepare the market for this in advance.

Somewhere in the world Alan McGee is having a heart attack. He said we'd never make it.

Telling Alan Turing's story in a two-hour film was a tremendous challenge. It felt in some small way like our filmmaking version of breaking the enigma code.

A few little injuries have slowed Alan down and it's probably the right time to retire,

The one exception was a technical matter relating to financial modernization: but there Alan simply waited until I left and then very quickly resolved the matter with Larry,

Sometimes, if you have a lot of history with a character and a lot of affection, it's hard for you to do anything with that character. Like with Swamp Thing, for instance, I revere the Alan Moore run so much that it would be hard for me to do my own Swamp Thing. I care too much about the way it was done before.

Actually, I didn't know that. I like to name my characters after baseball players. Alan Trammell of the Tigers is one of my favorites.

Anything that's considered a little off-the-menu or special is going to spur some demand. And in country, we hear a lot about the 'disenfranchised core,' whose tastes run to the traditional and who like the older sound. Those people are often big Alan Jackson fans, and there's enough Sunday morning specialty programming out there in country radio land to get some good exposure for this record.

As long as Alan Greenspan's not frowning, I'm not too worried.

Alan won't want sympathy. He'll shake himself down, shrug his shoulders and get on with it.

Alan will work hand in hand with the new chief executive and they, with assistance from the other directors, will drive the game on in Scotland.

Alan will tell you he is not silly enough to think that it's going to happen overnight,

Alan White and I spent the next two or three years working together on this. We developed what is known a stochastic volatility model. This is a model where the volatility as well as the underlying asset price moves around in an unpredictable way.

Alan White and I have not as yet written anything on VAR but we have done a number of consulting projects in this area and expect to do more.

Alan Whicker may be the last Briton to have worn a silver-buttoned blazer with complete confidence.

Alan Webb is a major international force as a mile and 1,500-meter runner. As we bring back the Fifth Avenue Mile to its old glory, I can't imagine a better athlete to lead the way.

Alan was the consummate defensive-defenseman for our team, and in my opinion, one of the best at doing that in the entire USHL. He was matched against other team's top lines, he was our best penalty killer, he led our team in blocked shots...he did everything for us. I'm happy and proud that he'll get to move on to a great college hockey program.

Alan was selected after a comprehensive search and review process. Our paths have crossed frequently over the past 15 years and I believe Alan's wealth of experience should be of great value to our Academy in advancing the many exciting initiatives we have for the future.

Alan was one of the first writers of our generation, of great courage and literary skill.

Alan was awesome! At a 7:06-per-mile pace, he's one heck of a runner on snowshoes. Alan took advantage of the weather and the snow, and made it a great day for course records and for the race.

Alan was a great help throughout and instrumental in my decision,

Alan was a great football player, but he would never have been elected to the Minnesota Supreme Court if he also wasn't a great lawyer.

Alan speaks his mind, whether you agree or disagree. For me to get a spark out of the first contest like this, I couldn't get just anyone.

Alan Smith was given an opportunity to play for England and chose to play elsewhere. It's probably not the cleverest thing he's done.

Alan signed for us early in the season, but hasn't been able to play for the past couple of months because of work commitments. He's available now, however, and too good a player for us not to make use of.

Alan Shepard lead a distinguished career in the U.S. Navy and at NASA, and naming a ship after him will be a fitting tribute to one of our nation's greatest pilots and astronauts.

Alan Shearer is a true professional and is the epitome of all that is good about this terrific game. His loyalty, commitment and total dedication over the years has provided, and continues to provide, football supporters with superb entertainment.

Alan played very well in our first game. He was all over the field and he was the best defensive player on the field.

Alan Park saw the figure go into the house in dark clothes. Simpson came out to the limo with different clothes. And now he has to answer the question that's never been answered -- where are the dark clothes?

Alan Park saw the figure go into the house in dark clothes, ... Simpson came out to the limo with different clothes. And now he has to answer the question that's never been answered -- where are the dark clothes?

Alan Parker on Mississippi Burning came up to me and said he had heard I was interested in directing. He offered for me to follow him around and see how it's done. At the time I had no idea how amazingly special his offer was, and how much he would share. I will always be in his debt.

Alan Moran broke the ice. Those were two big baskets for us right there.

Alan Moore is a peculiarly unsung triumph of British culture, and Northampton, where he was born in 1953, the son of brewery worker Ernest and printer Sylvia, is where you must go to find him.

Alan misspoke. The agreement says up to five days. As I read it, that means Magna can fulfill its obligation by running as few as one day a week. It's a matter of interpretation. What I think Alan was talking about was the intent of the parties at the time the agreement was made.

Alan is such a hard worker and he?s so deter-mined. He has a goal, he has a purpose.

Alan is a true Disney legend, and his music has enriched so many of our films.

Alan is a proven winner in every business he's been involved in. He's turned around Sears credit, he's taken charge of their Internet business and given it life, and he's been able to reorganize their home-services business. Probably the best part about him is he's coming into his position as CEO and he understands how CEOs work, but he doesn't have the emotional bias. He can make a kind of fair assessment about what the customer likes and what he doesn't.

Alan is a proven veteran with playoff experience who will be a valuable asset to us on the floor and in the locker room. He can give us toughness and depth in the post.

Alan has run some of the best races of his career at Hayward Field. He has an appreciation for Hayward Field and the fans return that admiration.

Alan has not been healthy, in my opinion, ... Alan is just now, with this bye week, ought to be fully healthy. That will be an asset we'll have to utilize.

Alan has been like a mate to the horse since he came into the stable and I think it's time he had a nice trip with him.

Alan has been given a nine week back for his sending off.

Alan had a bumpy stretch when he was sick, but he had a really good game last week.

Alan Greenspan...will likely add flesh to the bones of the FOMC statement. We believe there can be little doubt that Greenspan's testimony will be hawkish,

Alan Greenspan was one of the most revered and successful public figures of our time, and there are many who are anxiously awaiting what he wants to say.

Alan Greenspan was an institution for financial markets worldwide.

Alan Greenspan tends to give a tougher talk in a speech when he is not going to raise rates than he does when he is going to raise rates. He either barks or he bites, and I think he is barking.

Alan Greenspan's rate hikes aren't just to hold down an economic boom. He's trying to bring investors back to the dollar,

Alan Greenspan's history is being a gradualist. Having done five quarter-point increases in less than a year, another quarter-point would fulfill one of his objectives of not unsettling the markets. That's why I believe there will be a quarter-point hike in May, possibly followed by another in June.

Alan Greenspan sat at the top of one of most important institutions for 18-1/2 years. He saw all the major events. He met all the major players. He was involved in all the significant debates.

Alan Greenspan once said to me . . . that he was really upset that when our Fed chairman died, nobody cared. It wasn't even the 'A' story.

Alan Greenspan is not going anywhere for what we expect will be the next four years, which is a strong plus for the economy, Greenspan will be there to advise on fiscal policy and adjust monetary policy based on the administration's policies.

Alan Greenspan (Chairman of the Fed) recently said inflation is very good and so the Fed can afford to continue the powerful relaxation. The guarantee that the economy will avoid recession the second half of the year.

Alan got down right away. But he came back. He really stepped up and it was nice because it got the team rallying again. We lost at 125 and he was down, so the guys were down. We ended up being up for that match and he wrestled real well.

Alan does it for the right reasons. It's not for the money and fame. It's about conquering the sport.

Alan did a great job facing off. He was really controlling that.

Alan Cumming was such a fun guy to watch. I remember he has a song in the first 'Spy Kids' movie, and when Danny Elfman came to set, they were working on the song.

Alan Butcher is a Surrey man through and through,

Alan and I, we talk a lot about baseball. We talk a lot about things. He's a great man to talk. He knows a lot about baseball, and he's a good guy to have around. He helps me a lot in my situation, and I appreciate what he's doing for me this year. It's something I'm never going to forget. He supports me all the time.

Alan and I get along really well because I know cows. You know manure and when you are about to step in it.

Alan Abrams has come to the forefront as a good zone runner, and we're going to play him more.

This is the calmest I've been. Everyone says you win up the middle. I look out there and we're experienced. I don't worry about the outfield because Alan is there. Conor is out there and John controls it behind the plate.

This data, all of it stronger than expected, probably gives (Fed Chief Alan Greenspan) more reason to be a bit more aggressive at the meeting next week.

This Administration is trying to change the whole intellectual basis for fiscal policy that Alan Greenspan enforced when deficits were large in the early 1990s. We got fiscal discipline through the idea that deficits matter. That's been flipped on its head.

There was no dispute about Alan Shearer's goals today and I'm delighted for him.

There will be a big gap and it seems strange to think he will never play again. I have found it emotional so I don't know how he will be feeling. There is life after Alan Shearer but it will be difficult to fill the void.

There were a couple of fine goals from Michael Owen and Alan Shearer gets one as well - but there are no surprises there,

Associates like Alan are the reason why GEICO is so successful. They are always giving 110 percent.

All our thoughts are with Alan - we've had a bad day all round.

All our thoughts are with Alan and it has been a very bad day all round. The reaction of the crowd is part of football, you just have to accept it.

It was a lot work and time for us, but it's worth it. I learned an awful lot about music by working with Alan. When I played piano, I played a note at a time. It's nothing like what Alan does.

It will be a physical game, but I hope it's a pretty clean game. Alan Lewis refereed our game against Clermont and we've been in contact with him. Any issues we raised he had seen already, so I expect him to be the professional he is.

It's action-oriented, ... I hope Alan Webb can keep up with me.

It's too early to call a turn in the trend, so Alan Greenspan can't relax completely, but it's certainly the kind of report that will help him sleep better. There's still no sign of wage inflation and we seem to be heading for a soft landing: a smooth slowdown into sustainable non-inflationary growth.

It's now a seven-week contest. I left it up to the contestants whether they wanted to continue with it. I spoke with Alan first, and he said it would be best to go on with it. Then I spoke with Brent, and he agreed.

It's the rationale of not putting all of your eggs in one basket, for not betting that (Fed Chairman) Alan Greenspan can save the economy.

It's almost like Chambers is getting to be Alan Greenspan. The little things he says get interpreted in all different ways.

It looks like Alan was the victim of a robbery. It seems like he was hit from behind. He doesn't remember anything.

It's for sure one of the competitive competitions in the world. I haven't played in England yet, that's why I'm very happy to play this year. I hope alongside Alan Shearer, or the other two strikers.

That's a big slowing. It's evidence that the Federal Reserve and Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan are being effective in their efforts to cool the economy.
