Paul Taylor Quotations

I want to lift the audience to the miraculous in human nature. After all, we shouldn't be here, with all the odds against us in nature. It's kind of unusual and wonderful!

A lot of people are doing something about their weight, but by their own reckoning, it isn't enough to get the results they want

Now my main goal is my solo career, so I want to keep doing that.

I like to do cover songs if I really love them, I have to love the song first.

I don't really think about dance except just before rehearsals start. I put it off. I don't live my life thinking about dance

By the end of it, you never know how it's going to turn out. Hopefully if I pick the right songs and put the right melodies on it and all the collaboration works out. it's a win-win situation.

I know I can't do everything myself. So I know I specialize in my melodies and I do some of my demo work. I pass it on to my producers who are much better at the production level

My sound is very smooth. Not to be to cliche, but really sensual and sultry.

I get like a melody that comes up and I try to write it down or record it. Hum it into a tape recorder or write it down on some manuscript paper. It could happen at any time, on the road or off the road, but mostly, you know, at home.

I want to build a studio in my backyard. The interest rates are low now, so who knows

I grew up in Denver, Colorado. After high school I went to Vegas

With women, clearly the telephone occupies a special place in the family communication arsenal.

One of the stranded mariners even told the sailors that other boats had passed by without stopping to help.

Right now, consumers aren't even feeling the slight 50 basis point total interest rate increase by the Federal Reserve this year,

I became aware of that fact when he resigned his position as minister.

Certainly (Iran) is a large issue. It's not a one-time supply disruption story that will come and go. It is an evolving political story that will take some time to manifest itself. It's something that is going to take some time to play out (and) markets will react day to day.

I found them in the basement, ... They're sort of freeze-dried. So I thought, well, maybe I'll frame that.

Franchised new-car dealers are on the front lines, facing skeptical customers, when cars and trucks offered are not fresh, innovative and inexpensive.

I think that's a Jewish trait, ... It's also a human trait.

Price matters in this market. This is an increasingly price-sensitive consumer.

The affordability issue from rising interest rates takes some consumers out of the market. These are big-ticket items for consumers. They are going to be sensitive to interest rates.

That will add to the truck count, we that that moves up the truck number.

Today's interest rate hike ... will only modestly affect overall auto sales. Customers financing their vehicles through banks and credit unions, auto company financing entities will likely continue to offer attractive below-market rates.

But painters are different, ... It's paint, paint, paint. It's a mania. But choreographers can't do that. You have to have your dancers to do it.

We've been calling contractors to see if it's feasible and everyone says that it is.

You have to take a lot of risks,

These cars aren't being sold in huge numbers to typical customers who drive 12,000 to 15,000 miles a year. They are being sold to early adopters of technology, long-distance commuters and people who want to be seen driving the correct' vehicle.

The slide of market share for GM and Ford has been a three-decade story.

People think Michigan, but it's actually six states that are key to the industry.

The mother angle is fascinating. It is clearly easier to communicate with her.

December 2004 was a monster month at 1.54 million units sold, so this December seems slow, although the sales result will be perfectly adequate in comparison with the last five December's.

That shows the potential of the new truck product to help GM truck sales over the course of the year.

Almost every family has been touched by the effects of a motor vehicle crash. The Challenge gives us all the opportunity to make a real difference in the number of crashes that occur each year in B.C.

Almost any way you craft a free airtime system, you will tend to even up resources between incumbents and challengers and incumbents are smart enough to know that and smart enough to know ... what's in it for me? Not a great deal. The broadcast industry has been always against it for obvious reasons having to do with their own bottom lines. They're not in the business of giving away airtime. They're in the business of selling it.

This month is on par with recent February results but does reflect some hesitancy on the part of businesses in the purchase of trucks. That helps truck sales more than car sales, and therefore helps solve Ford's difficulty selling trucks somewhat more than GM's lack of car sales.

There's a huge number of particularly children who are now getting aspiration pneumonia from the amount of seawater they have taken into their lungs,

It's a blessing for something to finally start happening for us. (The process) was pretty smooth.

It's a horrible thing to have to do,

It's been a year-long phenomenon of moderating growth. That was the fastest growing category last year.

Does he have to remove the cigarette from his hand? We don't have the answers to any of these questions.

Consumers have been increasingly price-sensitive over the past two years. When the Big Three (carmakers) effectively raised the price (by ending discounts), they sold dramatically fewer cars. That was the case in the fourth quarter.

That is absolutely baked into the market. The only question is what kind of direction we get leading into the next announcement on May 10.

Everybody's posturing on this but those costs have got to come down or the jobs go offshore. You can't get away from reducing the cost of production here in the United States and in Canada and even in Mexico.

The Big 3 have to fight it out in the marketplace the old fashioned way, product by product.

It was a fire waiting to happen all these years -- like a timed fuse. There are at least five other homes built around here at the same time. If it happened in the middle of the night ... there could be a fatality.

I like bugs because they're so different from humans,

Increased sales of cars in the second half of the year means that gasoline prices, as well as exciting new car designs, helped make this the year of the car.

In a tough competitive market like this, the victories are model by model, not typically across the board for any particular maker.

If you use it in an interesting way, ... it becomes something to look at.

I realized if I didn't stop taking it, it was going to kill me,

I don't really think about dance except just before rehearsals start, ... I put it off. I don't live my life thinking about dance.

Combining that with the injuries they have is really adding an enormous insult to their body,

For our industry, that means diminished overall consumer spending, but NADA Industry Analysis believes that the economy will continue to grow from investment spending and increased exports, particularly to Japan and Europe. We think world automotive producers will continue to find ways to maintain yearly sales of at least 16.8 million units of light vehicles in this growth environment as we move into 2007.

This is our first pass at seeing if it would all fit.

The impact will be concentrated on specialty and sports cars and vehicles over $50,000 in price, continuing the modest pattern of slower growth in luxury-vehicle sales.

Ford can't sell trucks currently, and GM is not selling as many cars as it would like to. That is a problem of product and pricing, not a systemic problem of abandonment by consumers.

If I didn't have the reverb I'd be an unhappy camper. So I want reverb in my monitor mix. Reverb and a good level in my monitor and I'm all set.

If dance wasn't in my life, it wouldn't be worth living.
