Bit Quotations | Page 11

We started off pretty fired up and intense. The third or fourth game we started to unravel a bit. I was proud that we fought back. Valley is a very good team, and they're scrappy. They're a bit smaller than us, but they work hard.

We started off a little bit slow in the first period. Saskatchewan came out and were physical. We responded to that in the second period and we stepped up our level of play.

We started learning a new dive on platform before this competition and Steve had a little bit of a mental lapse in that he performed the new dive instead of what we had entered him to perform and thus automatically received no points on that dive. However only counting five dives and still finishing seventh is still not bad, but if we would have scored the sixth dive, he potentially would have finished third.

We started hitting the ball a little bit in the second game, laying off the high-rise pitch and hitting into gaps.

We started finding out a little bit about Blake Field's nerves.

We started feeling a little bit of pressure and we got anxious and started clearing the ball instead of working it. That goal they got was an unlucky break and that's one thing we need to learn from this.

We start at 1:30, the first luncheon gets underway. We get into the Scottish stuff and into a wee bit of scotch.

We spread them out a little bit. We made some shots. We got some offensive rebounds. And got the ball in the middle of their zone a little bit more, got some penetration.

We spent two months in a little house, once frequented by Kate Bush, actually, so it had a bit of musical history.

Where they're tucking the flags, you can really look silly...you've got to maybe play a little bit more safe at some holes and I think I'll remember that for tomorrow's round. But I've got to be happy with that start.

Where it makes me a little bit uncomfortable is taking the editorial content and turning one of those words into a commercial thing. I just feel like the actual editorial content within a news story should be sacred.

Where I'm from, we don't do the kiss-on-the-cheek thing. Sometimes we can feel a bit awkward in England. Someone needs to let me know what the rules are because I don't want to be rude. I need a little more etiquette coaching.

When you walk in, you're a little bit in awe of a place like this and all the fans.

When you've got three kids and someone's sick, your first thought is probably not to get online and find out which doctor's a little bit cheaper.

When you've got corners that are not starters you want to go after them, ... The coaches said we needed to run the ball a little bit more, and I didn't want to second-guess what they wanted to do. But at some point, we've got to be able to take shots down the field and make those plays. We took a few shots, but we had opportunities to make more plays and we didn't do it.

When you think of the Caribbean today, you think of clear blue warm water, ... Probably about 12 million years ago, it was more like the eastern Pacific; it was a bit cooler. There was greater seasonal change in temperatures, and there were more nutrients around.

When you think of that type of guy, it's going to be Joey. He has the ability to be every bit as good as Jerome.

When you think about such fine actors as Maggie Smith or Michael Gambon, they do all mediums. I think it would be quite sad and a bit dull just to have to stick to one. I like all of them.

When you take the revisions into account, the retail sales is actually exactly as expected and the current account is actually a little bit better, so there's not too much to grab on to.

When you take a person with dementia and you put them in a car and drive them for four hours to come for an appointment, they're not really at their best when you assess them. Some people get more confused or even a bit agitated,

When you start taking money out of consumers' pockets and adding a bit of worry, it has an effect.

We're not going to quit. We're going to keep moving ahead, try to salvage another couple of wins here and maybe get a little bit of momentum going.

We didn't defend the three-point line at all. We just didn't defend. We came out a little bit like we were guaranteed a win.

Until we know for sure all that's out there, we're just not going to jump the gun, and we have to be a little bit more patient and make sure we know what players are out there.

Yeah, I shoot. I shot with my dad a little bit when I was little. He was a Marine, so it wasn't like he would take me to the ballet. We would go to a shooting range. It was the only thing he knew to teach his little girl how to do.

While last weekend got a bit tight towards the end, we got across the line and that was the important thing.

Whether it was because of a bump or a grab or a hold, we were 13-of-36 (shooting) from two feet (of the basket). That's the thing right now that's holding us back a little bit ... (but) we missed a ton of them.

Watching the girls go in the afternoon, we noticed (the ice) was swinging a little bit more. You can get more aggressive. It's nice to get aggressive because you don't have so many close games.

Watching her play a little bit the first few rounds, I thought Venus looked like she was playing well.

We've been able to move the ball a little bit better,

We've been able to handle a lackluster earnings season so far. Energy companies haven't really come into the fray yet, so things may look a little better after they report. Another positive is that we're backing off a bit from the high price of oil.

We've been able to do something a little bit more creative, a little bit more relaxed, a little bit more low key than going to the tents, which is hectic.

We've asked them to slow down and think this thing through a little bit better.

We've always tried to reduce the number of people getting bit by sharks through education and awareness. We try to get our safety tips out through our Web site and in publications.

We've always had the offense, it's just defensively we had to turn it up a little bit better. We held them to 16 points at halftime, which I was pretty pleased about.

When I was little, I didn't know you got paid for acting. My parents put the money in the bank for me, but I just thought it was this fun thing that I was so excited to do. You got to be on the set and get a little bit of makeup and be on camera.

When I was in the IHL there were a few teams that used to do that. Some goaltenders just have a knack for breakaways and it can give your team a little bit of a boost. You have to know your personnel before you can make those changes and obviously Craig thinks Morrison is the guy on breakaways.

When I was in New York I fell madly in love with an Italian and got married. I couldn't get out of it, and that's when I got a bit ill.

When it came to the last 10 minutes, I think we controlled it and they seemed to be out of ideas. Then, when we thought we won the game, it's a bit of a delusion to draw it. And, of course, the delusion is even bigger to lose it.

When it appears as though the governors of the Federal Reserve believe that the end of the rate increases is near, that's very good news for investors. A lack of ambiguity from the Federal Reserve is always a little bit of a shocker.

You don't lose a shooting touch; it just likes to go on vacation for a little bit. I've been working in the gym on my own. I think I'm back to where I was and hopefully I can improve that a little bit more.

You don't learn charm. It's not something that you can acquire. I have used it much in my life with great success, but it's not necessarily what makes me an actor. It became a very easy label to attach to me. It also feels a bit dismissive. People go, 'You're so lovely and charming', but it's a wee bit, 'That's all you are.'

Tom's a bit quieter, with a wry sense of humor, ... Art, I think, is a little more ebullient.

We're more in an attack mode, which creates rebounding lanes and a little bit more space where his man has to help. He can get it, catch it and has a little more room to operate.

We're more athletic, but again, I'm not saying that we're at the same athletic level of all of the teams in our conference. Our skill level also has improved. We've been able to compete a little bit more athletically and it's shown up in some areas of our play.

We reminisce a little bit about the run. But usually we argue over which team could go on the same type of run this year.

We remind our players that this is something that was a special night in a heated situation but it's not going to be a steady diet for us. The onus on Kobe is to stay inside the team offense. The onus on the players is to pick it up a little bit better.

We're maybe not so physically strong. It doesn't really matter in the Champions League but maybe in the Premiership we have suffered a little bit for it, but I think in Europe we look really sharp. Unfortunately, we have not been able to cope with the physical side and we have suffered from that. In Europe we have been allowed to play more football.

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.

We're stalled. When you see oil prices back up to their high, you've seen gold hovering around $600 US, people are making some really good money and I think there's a lot of people who are just taking the opportunity to crystallize some gains which is keeping the market at bay a little bit right now.

We respected Rochester from the opening whistle, and they were a tough team tonight. We knew that it could go that far and I was proud of my team after conceding a goal for hanging in there. We were a little bit whipped, but we just wanted to keep our composure during the overtime and make sure we didn't give up a second goal. I'm proud of my team and pleased to be advancing.

We're slightly lower to unchanged basically for the second day in a row after a little bit of a rally. That 11,000 continues to be a key resistance area.

We're going to try and match up as best we can. But we're going to have to pitch a bit differently than we normally do.

We're going to take this whole weekend certainly as a positive. I think as a whole we learned quite a bit and we're just building right now, taking each game as a building block.

We're going to shut him down a little bit. Hopefully, he'll be back at the beginning of next week and we'll know a little bit more. Hopefully he'll be ready to play. If not we'll worry about that then.

We're going to have a little bit of fun, but we're going up there to win the national (championship). It's not a vacation to Disney, but we want to enjoy it so that they'll have something to remember for the rest of their lives.

We?re going to give away some size up front and that could hurt us a little bit against the more physical team in the league like Wilkes and Lycoming. The question is will we be able to put enough pressure on the quarterback. That?s going to be our toughest problem.

We're going to get there. We still have a little bit of work to do, but this was good for us.

What we're seeing right now is the market take a bit of a breather. One thing we've seen in the past two days is yen weakness against the crosses and that probably has to do with the fact that the yen sell-off in the past week or so has been the sharper move.

What we're hoping is that what we're providing investors now is a little bit of certainty.

What this group has managed to do is not let anything get in the way of their goals in qualifying and winning games. We miss a player due to an injury or a suspension, they don't blink an eye, they just move forward. If they're in games where the officiating may be a little bit questionable, it doesn't bother them. They just keep their concentration and get after the task at hand.

What they're doing is not the least bit subtle. The result of all the innovation will be bankruptcy for Netscape,

When we are at home and the crowd is going, we run just a little bit faster, jump a little bit higher. This crowd was so electrifying, it gives you goose bumps at times and as a young team, we feed off that.

When we'd get done, Jeff would tell me: 'This bit is good. This other bit has nothing to do with what we're talking about.'

When we defend well and create opportunities on offense, that's really our recipe for success. Once again we had great activity and pressure on the ball. We matured a little bit tonight, we had a greater sense of gamesmanship and clock management toward the end. We saw some good things from the whole team.

When we can accommodate those, we try, ... It's unusual to move a time, but these were special circumstances. We can hit SportsCenter a little bit later.

When we got the lead it was a little bit of a surprise to me. In the third period, the game was going full-speed and they turned up all cylinders. It was very hard for us to survive a game like that.

When we got over the nastiness, if you like, of the battles associated with world cricket, he had this ability to fix the problems and then became the great ally of Cricket Australia, which I think said a bit about him.

When we got a chance to get them down a little bit we put them away on both ends of the floor. Everybody we put in played well defensively after the first three or four baskets.

When we go home we can spend a bit of quality time together but from the point of view of the skeleton, we're professional about what we do. Sometimes we might not speak for a whole day, even though we're both at the track, because we are so into what we are doing.

When we first started looking for dealers it was a bit discouraging, ... We would get turned down as a dealer for one reason or another. But we kept saying when one door closes, God opens up two more. Now here we are with Duesenberg USA. It is definitely a good door!

When we first opened we wanted the restaurant to be slow- paced, the bar area with its couches to be medium-paced and this bit to be fast-paced. That's why we had square tables and wooden padded chairs here. The furniture wasn't bad but it was harder than it is now. Then we had a rethink and decided that really we didn't want anywhere in here to feel as though there should be a quick turnaround, so we moved in round tables and curved, leather seats.

What a day. I was a bit disgusted coming off the 17th, but the lob wedge on the last spun back nicely and went in. There is no way I can play worse tomorrow than I did today. I felt like an eight-year-old again.

What a cracker it was but I don't know how I won it. I played shocking at first but kept in there and maybe at the end, Simon saw the winning post and got a bit twitchy.

Weyerhaeuser put out a little bit of an olive branch and Willamette threw it back in their face.

We would take a little bit of money out of a huge increase in ballistic missile defense and put it in a place where it will do a lot of good, namely, in targeted pay increases to our enlisted personnel, particularly our NCOs and our junior warrant officers.

We would still love to see a sample of this and determine if this is a potential threat to our customers. It's a little bit disappointing that they are not sharing the sample.

What he's likely to do is to continue writing and speaking, as he has done to some extent at the Fed, and pursuing his interests in economics, which are very intense, ... He loves working with data and thinking of new ideas about the economy. I suspect we will get some of that, and in some ways, he'll be a little bit freer to speak.

What happens on the pitch stays on the pitch, it was a bit of handbags, that's all.

We found that a slick truck can also be on the edge in the draft. We found last year that we want a fair amount of drag on it because during the race, drag means grip. There's kind of a fine line. I think you want to build a truck that has a little bit of drag.

We found ourselves a little bit over the last two weeks. We also took advantage of having a week to prepare for them. Instead of trying to do a lot of things not so well, we tried to a few things real well.

We guarded for 40 minutes, we'll I should say 37 minutes. We were very, very good defensively the entire game. They hurt us a lot on penetration the last time we played them. I told our guys, 'Don't rest on me on the floor. Rest over on the sideline and I'll sub you in and out.' We subbed and kept them fresh. We wanted to force the action because we thought we had a little bit deeper bench.

We grew up a little bit tonight. We have a young team and we know it is going to take some time to get there, but this is a great step in the right direction.

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.

We got up in their face a little bit and started to get on a roll.

We got up 18, 20, lost a little bit of our concentration. They came at us aggressively.

We got to where we made some better decisions as far as passes were concerned. We didn't hold the ball as much and telegraph passes. I though we had better reversal. We got out on the break a little bit better where we were able to get some better looks at the basket and not get into so many half-court sets. We do want these kids to get out and use some of their athleticism and play in the open court a little bit and I thought we did a much better job of that in the second half.

We can control our own destiny. We can push some team ahead of us down a little bit and raise ourselves up at the same time. That's what you want. Just an opportunity to control your own destiny and we are capable of doing that.

We felt like we were cheating time a little bit right there. We knew we were putting ourselves in this position in 2002, but we had to take our shot at winning back-to-back. We could have done half of this cap-cutting last year, and it wouldn't have been this painful, but I don't think we would have had a real shot to get to the Super Bowl this season.

We felt like we had to take recruiting to a little bit different level.

We felt like we had some young players that were developing at the free safety position that might have a little bit more range and might give us the potential to get more interceptions back there. That's the main reason.

We felt like we could at least go into halftime 7-0. But unfortunately we had a turnover, and Edison had a big play. It was a little bit different going into halftime 14-0.

We felt it would be a little bit out of the ordinary, probably generate some interest. Even with some rudimentary high school Spanish, people could figure out what it is.

We broke well. They went a bit quick, but 600 meters out I was in no doubt. We went home hands and heels.

We both really wanted to go to London but I also wanted to go to Italy. My husband not being keen on Italy, we finally chose Paris because it's supposed to be such a romantic city and because we both already spoke a bit of French.

We both played well, but maybe she was a little bit lucky on the break points, ... You play every week, you win, you lose, you go to the next tournament. I just want to be back in the top 10.

We bit off a little more than we could chew. But they proved they could handle it.

We believe we're ready for them, ... We wanted to make sure we were ready before anybody came. We want the people of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County to welcome them as folks who have been through hell in the last week. We want to show them a little bit of Western Pennsylvania heaven when they get here.

We believe we could handle 1958 today. Everybody would have to work a little bit harder, but we'd get through it.

We are getting quite a bit out of the public schools. And a number of municipalities dedicate the money (they earn) to their volunteer fire departments.
