Decided Quotations | Page 10

My dad's probably the most influential person in my life. He said, 'You know, it'd be kind of cool to see your name in the Hall of Fame with that team.' We decided let's do it that way.

My dad signed me up for some acting classes at a place in Honolulu, and there I got to audition for some L.A.-based talent agents. I got a few 'callbacks' and so my mom and I decided to fly to California and check it out!

Mum and Dad always wanted me to do whatever I was happy doing. I nearly went to art college at 16, but decided to do a BTEC in performing arts.

More and more people were coming in (to the library). They were mostly the Puerto Rican population, but we then saw that the Mexican population exploded, so we decided to branch out to get them to come in.

Moody and I are friends and decided to transcribe this book so others could use it.

More information on the earlier lines was placed before the working committee by the treasurer. The matter was discussed and it was decided to leave the matter to the discretion of the president.

More than half the combat deaths in Vietnam occurred after Richard Nixon was elected on a promise to bring the war to an end, and after the American people had already decided that they did not want one more soldier to die in Vietnam.

Morocco is among one of the very first countries that we have decided that we are going to sit down with and negotiate a Free Trade Agreement.

My guess is that they're losing at the 21-24 battle . . . and decided to reinvest their money where their core consumer is, and where all the other brands fall off in attending to this crowd.

My guess is that somebody decided they'd play a trick on the Marines,

My husband and I decided we were going to make them work together, and that really made the argumentation between the two of them go away. Now they really have to work together.

My government has decided to give a rural bias to the economic policies,

My family didn't have time for me, so I decided to join the Suvorov military academy, which is in St. Petersburg. I spent two years there and studied general military science. At that point, once I graduated, I joined the Chernigov higher education pilot academy.

My father's nephew was the blues musician, Lowell Fulson. Every time he came around, he had a pretty car, a beautiful woman and a slick sharkskin suit. Believe it or not, that's how I decided I wanted to get into music.

My family was helping to manage my Dad's construction company, ... So next thing I know in 1997, I'm a New Englander again! And with the woods and the call of wild; I decided to give it a second chance.

My family was always supportive when I decided that I wanted to pursue this thing called acting.

No other Australian retailer ever has decided to take on the world. We're going to take on the world.

No, I didn't expect this to happen. Historically, shows do not win the Emmy in their first year, ... I've been very selective about what roles I've decided to take, from 'Party of Five' to 'Lost.'

Now we have the seniors. Last year, we brought all the seniors to the gym and had a few speakers talk about insurance and savings. This year we decided we would do a bigger program for them.

Now we have decided to go back to bargain people's demands as we don't want to give the government and ruling Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) a chance to ignore them any more.

Number 30 was very skilled, very strong. We did an OK job on him, but there's only so much you can do. He just decided to take it upon himself.

Now that they have decided to not come so close to personal property, I don't think any of us in Grandview have as many issues to discuss with the developer. As long as the creek remains within its nature bed and as long as the tree cover and wood remain intact, the majority of our complaints have been answered.

Now that the government has decided to erase graffiti, things are clear. The decision will be implemented in letter and spirit and with immediate effect. The decision has been conveyed to the commission.

Now that you mention it, I might take it easy. I haven't decided yet. I'm surprised (the staff) hasn't brought it up yet ... to get rid of me.

Next they decided to put me in total isolation. The first two years, they keep me in a small room, filled with light 24 hours and camera inside.

Neither of us was doing very well so we decided to pay for $10 a birdie,

Obviously I don't agree with that conclusion, but we haven't decided on our next step.

Right now I've pretty much made up my mind that I'm gonna run through 2008. Hopefully it's gonna be where I'm at. That hasn't been totally decided yet, but we're working on that and there have been other conversations, so I have to explore all of the options. But when that's up, my gig is pretty much done. I'm gonna be to where I need to move on and let somebody else get in.

Right now, I've just decided that it would be best if I focused on one sport coming up in the spring. I'm looking forward to that. I haven't had that opportunity yet, so I'm looking forward to the strides I can make coming up to this season.

Right from the start, The Inside Track decided to take a look at sports in a serious way, in the way we'd look at any other news topic.

Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. What if they decided to improve scoring in the NBA and made the hoop 4 inches bigger in diameter? You don't want to artificially improve scoring. What if the NBA developed a half-court shot that was worth 5 points? You can't do things like that.

Ricky Hatton is not going to fight a real opponent until he drains all the money out fighting secondary guys, in my opinion. That's why we decided not to go after him.

People were spooked by hurricane Katrina, and understandably so. It was not only a national news story, but with so many evacuees in Houston, it became very salient to people here. That's the reason why everybody decided to be very cautious.

People were increasingly becoming concerned things were worse than expected. They decided to report early just to get it out of the way.

People were going to wonder about me, about who I am and what makes me tick, and with time I decided that it didn't really bother me to share that.

Phil and I talked about it for a little bit and decided nothing,

Phil made the offer to the board. This was not a question of the board coming to the Phil and saying, 'Phil, it's time,' ... That was not an offer we jumped at. But over the course of many, many board discussions, we decided we would accept Phil's offer as a way to get this behind us.

Philips unsuccessfully tried to negotiate and enter into licenses with Kodak for a long time. As a last resort, Philips decided to sue Kodak for patent infringement.

Political disputes should be decided with two pairs of boxing gloves and a ring.

My teachers probably tried to get me interested in other things at school, but I was very young when I decided that I wanted to act. By the time I was 12, I was hell-bent on it.

My sense is if any (students) decided to protest, it would be a small percentage. But I can't predict the future.

One thing I incorporated in my novel 'The Poe Shadow' was the little-known fact that documents show Poe inherited a slave and decided to free him.

Nigel met with the show's producers and decided he has taken Dennis as far as he can.

Nobody considers that a very healthy situation. You have a number of very high-profile, important cases coming this next term that, from the perspective of this administration, were decided incorrectly in the courts below. You need five justices to reverse. A 4-4 tie just means the decision below is affirmed.

Nearly all the tv stations and weather people are forecasting an 80% chance of rain over the next 24 hours so we decided to make the call. We didn't want to make this call, but with the forecast we wanted to make it early and not at the last minute so to not force any unnecessary travel.

Neal has been semi-detached for weeks. We've decided the split is final.

On paper, it's pretty much a push. I think the game will be decided in the fourth quarter.

On one hand it is truly independent cinema. We were just a couple of interested people who decided to make a movie. On the other, the style of the film is not bland; it's not just another movie.

On the last possession we just decided to switch on everything and not let them get a very good shot.

On the give-it-back side ... it was decided that we would establish a figure of about $400, maybe slightly in excess of $400, and that would be given to every man, woman and child, but the cheques would be mailed to the household ... one cheque per household,

One of the reasons why I decided to participate in 'HawthoRNe' was I really wanted the opportunity to show how ordinary people do extraordinary things.

One of the first things we decided very early on ... was instead of creating a movie of all the classic iconic moonwalk moments that we've all seen, we would go just to the left or to the right of what we know, or what we think we know, ... So I would say the majority of the moments in the movie are not moments that we've seen before.

I was going to follow her to SIUE, ... but I decided it might be better to back off a bit and let her have a new coach.

I was still working for the county when we decided to try getting this auction going. Since we were renting the building from the county, I figured it would be best not to also be working for them, so I retired again.

I was talking to a good friend of mine on the cruise and we decided it would probably be a good thing to put together a show with two or three strong acts and perform at different venues (other than blues bars).

I was serving as the area representative to the Forest Park Civic Association before I had even moved into my house. One of the people I had contacted in the area to ask some questions when I was buying my house told me about the opportunity to be the area representative and I decided to do it.

I was surprised, but I knew he was having a bit of a tough adjustment here. But there are a lot of guys who decided to call it a career after the lockout. You can't blame a guy for trying to come back and being 100 percent sure.

I was struggling with my shot all game. I decided to start attacking the basket.

I wouldn't blame it all on the coaches. I will take some of the blame also. We just weren't seeing eye to eye. It was one of those situations where the coaches are going to be always right and the player is never right. They decided not to play me, and I had to live with it.

I would say I'm a storyteller first, but game making is very wrapped up in how I think of story. If I were to have a story idea, and I decided to write a novel with it instead, I'd have to very consciously de-couple it from gamedom - for example, deliberately add in things that could not be represented in a game scene.

I would have loved to have had him. I just know he decided not to play. I respect his decision.

I would have liked to have had it, but it wasn't the one play that decided the game.

I would hate to see what the number of fatalities had been had we not had the special snowmobile patrols. We definitely had the desired effect, which was make people think, especially when they were drinking alcohol. We know people decided to not drive their snowmobile at night if they were drinking because of the team's presence.

I worked through this season, watching and evaluating our basketball program. I evaluated Rob's body of work for the past eight years and I decided that it was important for Arizona State University to make this change.

I worked in the nursery for two weeks, and they were going to let me go, but they let me work on a crew one day and decided to let me stay. I always say it's because I dug three holes and the other guy only dug two. I learned a lot there.

I was pre-med, so I was going to go into the family business, more or less. But I came to my senses, luckily, and backed out, and decided to go to drama school.

I was pleased with how our post players performed tonight. I wasn't pleased that our guards, at times, decided to get away from our game plan and start shooting from the outside. We work our offense inside-out, not outside-in.

I guess I decided I wasn't ready to give up on the game yet. So I just decided the best way to go about getting myself back into a better position would be to just start playing every week.

I grew up watching my grandmother sew things. . . . She never threw things out, she fixed them with a needle and thread. She and I weren't close, but now that I've reached adulthood and have a child of my own, I find myself doing the same things she used to do. This was fascinating for me and I guess it's part of why I decided to make this film.

If we ever decided to make free throws, it would've been a different game. When we had chances to either tie or go ahead, we would go 1-for-2 at the line at best. Seventeen-for-30 isn't going to win any games for you.

If we're interested in the economy and the future of this country, we need to fix this for the same reasons our leaders decided to build them years ago.

I got very depressed. Hollywood can be a terrible place when you're depressed. The pits. I decided I had to change my life and do different things.

I got turned down once, and I decided I'd wait a couple of weeks and ask him again and got turned down a second time, ... It reminds me of my girlfriends I used to have.

I got to see him, he looked very peaceful. I guess when he met his maker, he decided he didn't want to come back. I've been talking to his family, and I'm just numb right now.

I got to know David Allan through a friend about five years ago. When he heard about all our troubles with the hurricanes, he decided to do us a favor and perform here. He hasn't played a place this small in 20 years. He might have a tough guy image, but he has a lot of heart, too.

I got tired of depending on other people, and I had this strong desire to make music of my own. I decided to start writing my own tunes and just see what could happen.

I got tired of complaining about this or that so I just decided to amass, in my opinion, the best artists and some of the best writers.

I got married to a Texan lady. That more or less decided it,

If they decided he was, he'd have the full rights under the Geneva Conventions: the right to call witnesses, the right of appeal and the right to view all the evidence against him. In a military commission, no enemy combatant has these rights and the prosecution can bring evidence, hearsay and statements taken by coercion

If they're 'temporary,' they'll be genuinely temporary. We're really glad that the city decided to change their practices. They should be commended for that.

If they've already decided to move to another team, then you know where their commitments lie and where they want to be. As an owner, I wouldn't want somebody driving my car if they don't want to be there.

If this is not decided in the next few days, I'm scared we could be looking at a year, a year and a half, two years, not just three months like a lot of people thought in September. From April to October, the players don't get paid, so I can't see us coming to an agreement in August or September. If we don't find a way to make everyone who is part of this sort of happy and get a deal done, we could be looking at a long, long time before hockey is played in the NHL and that's very alarming too. I hope in the next couple of weeks we can come to an agreement.

If this is done, the trial shall be concluded this year and the case decided shortly thereafter.

If we decided a new front is the top priority, we could get things in motion for that within a year.

I have had a long chat with the vet and although he is very happy with him, we have decided he is not going to run again this season.

I have greatly enjoyed my collaborations with Howard Shore, whose musical themes made immeasurable contributions to 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy, ... During the last few weeks, Howard and I came to realize that we had differing creative aspirations for the score of 'King Kong.' Rather than waste time arguing with a friend and trying to unify our points of view, we decided amicably to let another composer score the film. I'm looking forward to working with James Newton Howard, a composer whose work I've long admired, and I thank Howard Shore, whose talent is surpassed only by his graciousness.

I have been riding for 20 years and I didn't want to do it for a year too many. That's why I have decided to quit now,

I have come back before from scores like that. I am happy. I decided to give it one last push to at least make a match of it. I kept pushing and trying to be consistent. I had to keep playing. There was no sense giving up at 5-2, especially in the championship match.

I have done a sketch show almost every year since I started in 1975. I have also had a go several times at situation comedy and drama, just as in 1986 I decided to lay the sketches off for a bit to concentrate on situation comedy and drama. I am NOT giving up comedy. I love doing stand-up comedy and characters.

I have decided to suspend this procedure to continue the dialogue with the opposition. That doesn't mean I have abandoned combining the elections,

I have decided to set the tone of this hearing, and this is a closed hearing. Even if the board and Ms. Cherry waive their right to a closed hearing, it's still the hearing officer's decision.

I have decided to say one or two words about Iraq, but more of that on Tuesday.

I have decided to resign after the governor expressed his inability to convene the assembly again on technical grounds to enable me to move the trust vote.

I have decided to quit 'Les Bleus'. I'm 32. I know I have already given France the best I could give,

I have decided to quit as I.P.L. Chairman. It is a decision which I was pondering over for some time.

I have decided to leave because, for the first time in the history all over the world, the United States is using food and other things as a weapon against the Liberian people,

I have decided to launch an Exploratory Committee to examine whether I should run for President in 2016.

I have decided to forego my senior season and declare myself eligible for the 2006 NFL Draft. I will get my degree and I will get it from USC. That's something extremely important for me.
