Press Quotations | Page 5

I thought our defense was good in the first half with a lot of hustle. It wasn't as good in the second half. They were going down the middle on the press break and no one really stopped them much.

I think when he died it got us into so many different areas of the world that people started to recognize NASCAR. And then it stayed in the mainstream of the press and the people and things just kind of took off from there.

I think that fate has a really good sense of humor, ... We had come from Toronto where people had given us a standing ovation, and the public screening had gone really well, but then afterward you hear, well, the press -- there was a less adoring reaction.

I think Carole is reasoning that her delay will make her announcement more dramatic and dominate the first press coverage of the new year. She is right.

I think it was our press tonight. We were able to cause a lot of turnovers and kind of get the momentum there, especially in the second quarter.

It had become pretty clear throughout the month of December (2005) and especially at the (January 2006) press tour that CBS was looking in a different direction.

I think they were tired. I know I would be if I had to press the entire game. I'm not quite sure how they did it for as long as they did.

I think Tony obviously has credibility ... He's somebody that the press respects. He'll obviously have to tone things down a little bit if he's criticized the president on some past issues. He's the president's spokesman now and he can't differ with the president.

I think Tom Reynolds may have been talking about what his feelings are, ... Social Security is something very important. It's something we've talked about doing, and when we decide to move forward we'll let the press know.

It is nothing. If some members (of the board) want to speak to the press about it, we can't do anything.

I think that the share price is largely reflecting both inaccurate press and inaccurate market sentiment, and of course the liquidity of the company, ... But my feeling is that the liquidity concern, while very real, is something that will be resolved very well and very quickly.

It is important that Russia make clear to the world that it is intent on strengthening the rule of law, strengthening the role of an independent judiciary, permitting a free and independent press to flourish,

It is no secret that the image of the United States abroad is not as positive as it must be. To the degree we can help to repair that image by introducing these visitors to American views of democracy, a free press and the role of citizens, we will have provided a valuable service to our country.

It is modernity at stake now. We must explain the distinctions between church and state, and between the press and the state, to our colleagues in the Arab world.

I was actually sitting on stage at a press conference one day, and I totally lost touch with reality. I just thought to myself: 'Vin Diesel is sitting next to me, and Benicio Del Toro's on the other side. This is weird, man.'

I was just trying to press too much.

I think there were people in the press who knew the truth, but who regarded Jackie as a national treasure - quite rightly - and didn't want to cause her any distress.

I think there is a pattern of this White House saying one thing at a press conference and then trying to shimmy out of it.

I think there has been a failure by some people in the press to distinguish between a player who's not playing because he feels he can't and the guy who's not interested in playing in this kind of tournament. The latter kinds of guys are very few in number.

Just as the president has a full press operation to deliver his message across the country, Senator Reid as Democratic leader has a staff to fulfill his obligation to spread the word about the Democratic caucus's commitment to a better America.

Last time, the kids didn't practice well. They were looking at their press clippings a little too much. This time, they dug in.

Last time I was in a relationship was with Denise. You're in California, she's in England and you're like, 'It's really late, why are you ringing me?' It just creates vibes. Plus the press attention.

I saw an ad in The State Press for a cartoonist, and I needed the money.

I said, 'Leaving Indianapolis,' ... Coming here has given me a fresh outlook on my life. My wife and kids can be around her parents. I have a new team - and a new chance to do something special. It's really motivating me to press on.

I said to her, 'I know you think I'm loud because of the press you read, but it's not true. I have the ability to do this -- all I need is the opportunity ... I want the lead and I want to produce. Here's my resume,' ... I just got tired of being offered this and that -- I was like 'I'm better than that.'

People are always asking what it's like to have Paul ... The truth is that the image that Paul gives before the television and the press and on the track is completely the opposite of how he is in person.

Our press offense was revamped because of what they do. We have a tall line up this year. My shortest starter is 6-2. Our point guard is 6-3. We knew they would have a tough time with our size." ()

Our press looked very good. At times it seemed like we could turn it on when we wanted to and be up by 20.

Our press has worked pretty well for us this season. We really needed it this game.

Our press has been good to us most of the year. We used different types of presses ? we used a diamond-and-one and a we switched to a 2-2-1 ?Êand I thought our kids read it real well. What was really big off the press was that we converted some easy lay-ins. Those were some big points for us.

Our press got us going in the beginning, and our trap zone got us going too. It was our defense.

Our press gave them some trouble. We started of very strong and played aggressive defense. It is a good thing that our poor free-throw shooting did not cost us the game.

Our goalie played great, playing in the shadow (of last year's Minnesota Associated Press player of year Johanna Ellison). She handled it so well this year. I'm so proud of her.

Retailers cited several positive external factors contributing to the increased sales this year. The top three reasons were decreased gas prices, increased acceptance or comfort with online shopping, and the press coverage about online shopping. We are experiencing a general momentum right now.

'Restaurant Man' is kind of the story, an unabridged story of what happened in my life, the good bad and ugly. Some people might glean some life lessons. It is honest, not written as a press release.

Paul is a skilled and talented public relations executive whose respect from the press is matched only by the admiration of his peers.

In addition, Paul comes to The CW having worked at both UPN and The WB, providing a unique background and vantage point of what it takes to compete as the fifth broadcast network.

Our offense is based on our defense. We use a full court press most of the time and try to steal passes and force turnovers then push the floor.

Suddenly the campaign is over, they wake up and the press is not seeking their opinion. There's no more entourage, no Secret Service. It's very, very difficult.

Startups need to focus on building a foundation for their company culture early, and then they need to revisit it often. Every time a hire is made, a feature is launched, a Facebook status is updated, a press interview is given, a round of financing is raised, or a meeting is held, culture should be part of the decision-making process.

Some of the press stories indicate that they came from export earnings that had not yet been remitted to the government. But that's all I know on that. They did, as I noted, make the payment.

My personal experience is that I find it exceedingly difficult to predict how people will interpret policy actions and the nuances of the press release.

My public stand represented a turning point for me and my entire future. The article very quickly became known throughout the world. For a long time the Soviet press contained no mention of the Progress, and later references were either disapproving in the extreme or else ironic. A great many critics, even if sympathetically disposed towards me, regarded my reflections in this work as exceedingly naive and speculative.

Long before 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid', 'Dork Diaries', and the graphic novel explosion, only a small press like Tricycle was willing to take a risk on such an innovative format.

Looking forward to Four Minutes, the ESPN original movie that's premiering next month. I haven't gotten the press kit yet, but I'm pretty sure it's about Patrick Ramsey's stint as the Redskins' starting quarterback this season.

Lindale is very well coached, they have good athletes, good size, they're smart and do what it takes to stay in games. We hope our press will dictate the pace of the game.

Like watching the Jesse Ventura show. It's too bad you couldn't get the White House Press Corps to work from a script like that. Dana Milbank of the Washington Post will be along presently to try to figure out who thought that was a good idea. But first, wait, there's more from the fog of war, playing three acts, to White House Press Room unscripted. The first topic there was, guess what, whether or not the whole deal with the soldiers had been rehearsed. Once again, you are there.

I won't press you on this issue, I know you can't answer,

I worked for Knight Ridder for 18 years and I know the Detroit Free Press was part of the company's pride back in the old days.

I still have to get some things figured out, but I feel I've had a pretty good camp and I've heard good things from the press and my peers. When the vets notice, you must be doing something right. All I wanted was a chance and I'm getting that.

I think our press got us going and got them out of their mode of trying to run some clock and got them playing quicker than they wanted to.

I think people misinterpreted the press release. That might be a bit of Linux madness.

It drains on you physically and it drains on you mentally. You just gotta keep it together and press on.

I think he just took over the team when we were in trouble. Any time a team really got after us, he just grabbed the ball and beat the press all by himself.

I think his eyes are so fierce without being angry but at the same time hurt. In the press conference scene, his eyes are breathtaking. He always looks very sad, like a hurt wolf.

I strongly suspect that there is a relationship between the rise in deaths and incarcerations abroad and the infringement of press freedom at home.

I think Milwaukee started to press because they had the momentum but could score. They took some chances, and we created opportunities.
