Spoke Quotations | Page 3

Just to make it clear, I only spoke once and then I spoke again three months later.

John and I spoke about it a few times. In fact, we spoke about it in the conference room in Trump Tower. John then went around and addressed it with the family.

John is sure he's interested ? spoke to him about it during his trip to the West Indies last year,

Juan loved flying more than any man I know. He was an accomplished pilot, but he spoke only a few words of English when he arrived here with an Argentinean commercial and instrument rating in 2002.

It added realism. Every once in a while, it's nice to see somebody on screen who you felt was from that place and spoke like somebody from that place.

It appears the two terrorists spoke broken Hindi with a Kashmiri accent. That gives us reason to suspect they were Kashmiri terrorists.

It is a challenge. I spoke about things being uncomfortable sometimes. It's not always going to be a situation where it's going to be convenient for you.

I think the markets probably overreacted when the Federal Reserve first moved toward a neutral operating directive. When Alan Greenspan spoke this time, I think the reality set in and that is, yes, the central bank has a neutral directive, but it's more like an ultra-right (hawkish) form of neutral directive. ... Any time they get an excuse to raise rates, they're going to take it.

I think the president of the United States spoke for twenty minutes here yesterday. I would ask your indulgence to let me finish my statement.

I thought containing the two guards spoke words for our defensive effort. But the Mystics got production and big plays from Page and Miller, who came off the bench and played well.

Laffey was in Washington making the rounds and I spoke with him then,

I was adopted when I was about a year old. My adopted parents tried, but their marriage was doomed. Music saved my life. I couldn't relate to things in Baton Rouge, but I found songs that spoke to me.

I was always the laid-back guy on this team and never really spoke up. This time I just needed to step up my game and become a leader so we could win ball games.

I think we said everything that we wanted to say. We spoke about responsibility, the fate of children that survived; we spoke about the dead, those who didn't live to grow old; we spoke about irresponsibility and negligence.

I think it was great; we are very happy that he performed. He is one of our top performers in Jamaica; he did a great job and he is a professional. It went very well. I spoke to him after the show and I called him a 'Jazz star' and he said he is an 'all star'. It was a positive vibe.

It got to the point when I said I was pretty fatigued and struggling to concentrate on my cricket ahead of a big Test match. I spoke to the people that needed to know and decided it was the right thing to come home.

I was able to talk to him in the huddle, and he always practiced hard and he always played hard, ... So it wasn't a distraction. But he never spoke to me off the field that year. It was a little weird.

I went to the property and spoke to Marion Lent and viewed the circumstances, which were not up to expectations. At the time, she had let the puppies outside, so they were not in the small crate. She told me that since she had just moved, she needed to get her large kennels out of storage and set them up. I gave her a time limit to get things in order and told her I would return.

Jerry spoke with Hughes (Jr.) several times a day, usually at 2 or 3 a.m., when Hughes called him. They never met in person.

Jamie was without artifice. He spoke plainly and directly. And he talked the same way to the office clerk as he did to the president - politely, and without too many wasted words.

Larry spoke with the administrator by phone and was told that the (Thursday) meeting will be informational and not to deliver a final decision.

Last Saturday, I asked them if any of them have ever played in the state tournament. Only Michael (Sanchez) spoke and said he had watched a game. I told them you will play against the best teams in Arkansas. Once you make the first time, you will keep working harder to get back.

I saw how they went out and how happy they were. I spoke with Jim a couple of times and he just said, 'don't let this opportunity get past, this is your last year, possibly could be my last year playing football,' so I just want to go out on top.

I saw Sven-Goran Eriksson when he came to the training ground last week and he spoke to myself and Ashley Cole. He knows I am fine and all I need now is a couple of games under my belt.

Over the past year we viewed countless films and spoke with numerous studios in pursuit of finding the perfect film. Just as we have demonstrated with music we believe that Starbucks can ultimately change the rules of the game for film marketing and distribution.

Overall, I think the voters spoke pretty loudly that they like the independence of their own hand-picked candidates over a billionaire from San Antonio.

Robert spoke to a whole audience who might never have thought of themselves as blues fans.

President Bush spoke of the risks of economic isolation and the critical importance of American competitiveness. I am utterly convinced that to maintain American global prosperity, we must pursue a sensible, market-oriented trade policy that provides greater market access and enforces our laws and agreements.

Our members spoke out and held the line.

People have made a living deconstructing Lennon and The Beatles songs because of their compositional sophistication. But what's so exciting about John is that he never had any of that training on musical theory; something just spoke to him, and he just knew what sounded right.

Steinbrenner spoke to Johnny Damon today for about 15 minutes and he indicated it was a good conversation.

spoke of the existence of 'extermination camps' in Bosnia.

spoke of hope but offered no clear plan.

Terror runs for king I said. It is better to explore within. We were apes before we spoke of sin. The cosmos sits on the tip of a pin.

Matter of fact, I spoke to him today and he wanted me to write down what kind of makeup of the team we would like - what kind of guards, forwards and centers.

Martin and I spoke earlier this month about his decision. I made it clear during the Rugby World Cup that I would have liked him to captain England in our defense of the Grand Slam, but I fully support his decision.

I was the only girl in class who spoke Spanish and the first word I learned was 'stupid' because that's what the kid next to me called me,

I was the one that was always dancing and got along with everybody, but I also spoke my mind. If I didn't agree with something the teacher would say, I'd tell her, so I would get in trouble for things like that. I've always been a good/bad boy.

I was brought up in black neighborhoods in South Baltimore. And we really felt like we were very black. We acted black and we spoke black. When I was a kid growing up, where I came from, it was hip to be black. To be white was kind of square.

I think she had to bank on the fact that she could connect in some way with her captors. Unlike most Western journalists, she spoke good Arabic. And if you look at her work, she comes across as compassionate, as balanced.

I think if I started selectively indicating who I spoke to and what they said, and what they didn't say, I think I've hindered a part of the process. My charge was always to do this in a fair way and a confidential way. So I guess I'm not going to answer that because I don't want to get into a 'he said, she said.' I just don't do business that way.

Johnny and I spoke a few times over the last week and I strongly encouraged him to sign with the Yankees. It is good to know that our lineup next year will include a natural leadoff hitter whose presence allows Jeter and A-Rod to return to their preferred places in the batting order. Johnny is a good friend and a great guy to have in the clubhouse. I am very excited about having him as a teammate again.

The American public spoke out this weekend, and clearly what it was saying was that it was not too soon for this film. People understand that it was well made and respectful, that it honors these heroes.

That was obviously our No. 1 concern. We spoke with the attorney and Oklahoma extensively. We reviewed the situation and we were satisfied.

That story spoke to me. Sometimes all you can do is walk with someone as they go through what they are going through, and the Iraqi people welcome and need people to walk with them. Letting people know that you care, that they are not alone because it is horrendous out there.

That's the only thing that he spoke against at almost every council meeting.

I was really blown away how J.P. spoke about the things he had in mind for this team.

I would invite members of the community to go to Columbus and talk to the legislators about funding the schools. When I was a private citizen, I went there and spoke to the Ohio Senate Finance Committee.

Most companies we spoke with believe they will return to normal advertising levels but are uncertain about the timing,

Who I was was not acceptable to black L.A. youth: the way I spoke and my sense of humor. Everybody else had relaxers and pressed hair. I wore my hair in an Afro puff. Nappy. The way I dressed. It was all about name brands at the time in L.A. I had no idea. All those things, I failed miserably at.

We haven't won a road game and we haven't won two in a row. We spoke about trying to end the season on a good note. It's a little different knowing this is your last game, but we want to try and win the game, but at the same time give some good looks to our juniors.

You know, I had spoke to Pugh earlier about joining the organization. Pugh told me he wasn't going to have anything to do with that mess.

When I took the job, we spoke about pursuing a liberal economic policy. Now, the state has evolved in quite the opposite direction.

We do new groups, but we have the same old people, and people get burned out and tired. Look up at the podium, and it's the same people who spoke out when Moshe (Rogers) was killed. If they're the same ones up there 20 years from now, they're going to be running these programs from a walker.

We exchanged photographs three months later and in January I went to Vegas for some temp attorney work, to play some poker and meet Jackie. The day before we met, we actually spoke on the telephone for the first time. I knew we had a connection, but didn't know where it would go. I'd never met anyone on the Internet before, let alone on a poker site. We only used IM for such a long time, but I felt the closeness between us.

We embraced, we shed some tears together, and we spoke how it's the first step in the right direction.

We have staved off a great deal of competition to get him. From the first minute I spoke to him, he only wanted to come and join Everton. His attitude throughout the entire negotiation process has been first class.

We wanted to make something that spoke from the heart to the heart.

We've had leaders who spoke of national affirmation instead of independence, who said they were waiting for winning conditions or who talked about sovereignty without taking concrete action to bring it about,

Wait, are you saying because they spoke Spanish they were illegal?

We were so worried about Allan and getting back to the hotel and making sure he was OK. Then we spoke about it as a team. I don't think our confidence went down. We were just disappointed we did not play Villanova basketball for 40 minutes.

Today the voters of South Dakota spoke and I am enormously grateful that they have given me the opportunity to serve as their next United States senator,

The president and I spoke of the importance of constitutional reform in terms of its comprehensiveness and the ability of Kenyans to participate in the process,

The pressure isn't on my brain, but on my mouth. I realized Sam Malone said very little, he spoke in little sentences. Which is much more comfortable for me for some reason.

The president wished him well. They spoke for just a few minutes, but it really lifted the governor's spirits.

When Greenspan spoke the market rallied, and when he stopped it gave the gains back.

We definitely started the game better, and whether we put it down to Mat, his involvements ... I spoke about his infectious attitude that everyone gets and everyone seems to lift.

We want to improve our hockey club if we can. We have lines in the water, but there is nothing happening right now, nothing is imminent. A few of the teams that I have spoke with have mentioned that they have four or five games left before Thursday and there is still a sentiment among many teams on whether they are buyers or sellers. So from that standpoint it's a little more complicated because that hasn't really crystallized yet.

The day the rabbi came to our mosque and spoke to 500 Muslims, that was an awesome moment. That's not the sort of behavior of a radical imam. And now, all that is destroyed.

The facts of this case spoke for themselves. We're not going to make a charge after 27 years on hearsay.

The fact of the matter, sir, is that the last time you spoke to him, he told you he was going to retire with that woman, isn't that correct?

What we've been talking with the ATP hasn't reached the tournament directors, ... I spoke to (Cincinnati Tournament Director) Bruce Flory and he hadn't heard of some of the things.

We're two totally different people from two totally different parts of the earth. I think people are wanting it to be more than what it really was. It wasn't like we hated each other. We spoke every day, said what's up, had conversations, cracked jokes, just like any other teammate in here. Basketball-wise, came in, did what we had to do to get a win. Sometimes we didn't get it. We're both competitive.

We opposed unlimited detention without trial. We stood up for trial by jury as well. And of course we spoke up for asylum seekers and for the most vulnerable in our society.

When John Kerry first spoke to the issue of terrorism, you'll probably recall he said I don't like to use the word war on terrorism, it's more of an engagement.

We were shocked, because . . . we did do a lot of information-gathering and spoke to people who were extremely ill and they?re here to tell about it. It came highly recommended. We made the decision to go, and Mother concurred, based on the fact that this place was doing incredible work and saving people?s lives.

We were told that it was a clear night. There was no ice out there. The weather was very good, and three of the people that we spoke with and did interviews with said that you were heavily intoxicated.

You have to be excited about a guy like Micah Johnson. Not only his physical abilities, but his leadership and his dedication in the recruiting process to help us by staying in touch and contacting other recruits. Two guys he spoke to long before he committed to us and he kind of wanted to see if they would join him at Kentucky were Josh Minton and Corey Peters, and darned if they're not all here.

We had a chance to sit down and have a little one-on-one conversation, which was good. I thought he was really good. I thought some of the points he spoke about were certainly applicable to any profession.

While it's great to outperform all of our hub and spoke competitors, we still need to find a way to make money,

We must all be concerned about the threats that the Shin Bet head spoke about. Israel must stop playing ping pong... and nip the threat in the bud.

When Milan spoke with me and told me about this guy, I never asked for any assurances. The chairman just said 'I'm looking to do something with someone Harry. It's going to be good for the club, they desperately want you this that and the other', so I said 'that's fine'. It sounds as if he will be exciting for the club.

Every year, before we pick captains, we talk about the kids who exhibit leadership. Even when Rocco was a junior, he spoke, and spoke very well. Some kids don't know how to speak, and some speak too much. We got a great sense of what Rocco knew about leadership.

First impressions of the season were it was a tremendous learning experience. I spoke with many mentors, including other head coaches as well as my parents, frequently and they all said the same thing ? the first year is always a learning experience. I feel I learned a lot, grew a lot and experienced a lot, and at the same time was still fortunate to cut down the nets in the end so I am excited about the future here at Endicott.

First grade was - I spoke only Spanish, and second grade - probably a bit more English. And by the time I hit third grade, I was learning, of course, much, much more English.

You ask us to tell you something, and when we kind of skate around the truth, that's accepted. But when we tell you what we believe to be the truth, I think we've been criticized. So it's a shame that he spoke out on what he believes and he's being criticized. What Stevens said is what he believes. Their job is to make sure it's not a big block party after the game. Our job is to make sure everybody gets a ticket.

We wanted to do something that was a little closer to our own century and yet also was a world in which you could believe that people spoke in a slightly different way.

We had a hit list of people we approached, ... We told them some of the ideas we had. Because we spent such a long time writing the scripts for each episode, it would be mad to spend three months on a script for Sam Jackson, send it to him, and he goes, 'Why would I do that?' So we got a preliminary yes out of them, and then went way, wrote the ideas, spoke to them on the phone, sent them the script, and they all said yes.

What an incredible honor. I spoke with Pam Wilson , who is our Publicist handling our international territories, and she told me that the show is licensed in over two hundred territories around the globe. That is mind-boggling to me. So thank you to everyone out there who support us by watching. We think of you all the time, and are humbled by your dedication.

We just thought it was important to provide something that spoke directly to that population.

We were performing in Puerto Rico one time. I'd had surgery and couldn't perform the dance routines. The crowd was calling out, 'La colora!' He couldn't figure out what that meant, though he spoke fluent Spanish. Finally, someone said, 'The redhead!' They wanted me to dance. He tried to explain why I couldn't, saying I'd had surgery. 'Want to know where she had it?' he asked the crowd. 'In Las Vegas!'

When I spoke with the doctors, I was told that's how long it takes for a bone to regain its full density. I'll say this. Yao has shown us in the past that he's a quick healer.

When I spoke with his widow today, she spoke touchingly about how important he felt this work was and how much he felt he was making a difference. His loss touches us all.
