-
Americana Quotes
We all listen to the same music; we all came from the same place, standing on the shoulders of the same giants. I'd be willing to bet that The Rolling Stones are more envious of our lifestyle, living here in Kentucky, playing loads of different Americana music. That's what they were going for. We're closer to the source than they are, really. I think they would love to come down and stay in Covington with us and stay up until 5 in the morning, playing guitar and singing Townes Van Zandt songs and Leadbelly songs. It'd be right up their alley. It's no mistake that we have the same kind of thing going on.
-
Arrested Quotes
There could be a lot of things. It could be they're continuing to investigate. Typically, it means they're trying to get locations, so they can get everybody arrested at the same time. As you know, there's two indictments connected to the defendants. I think all together, it's going to end up 10 or 12 persons, so it's a lot of people to at one time.

Challenge Quotes
What's coming up in the future is very exciting but a little crazy for the consumer, ... Today there are no standards for various home devices to communicate together. So you'll see a lot of really neat technology appear, but the challenge for consumers is how to get it all to work together.

Believe Quotes
We just want the kids to attack. We'll count up the takedowns at the end of the year. We want them to be aggressive, to not shut down for six minutes. We want them going for major decisions instead of regular decisions, tech falls instead of majors, falls instead of tech falls. We want them getting team points, to buy into the team concept, and they're starting to believe in it.

Carefully Quotes
We were out there in the Southern Ocean, feeling very insignificant in a big part of the planet, ... At any minute, another storm would sweep in. We hatched a plan: Spike and I would climb up and jury-rig the fitting. As we started the climb, I told the crew that they must helm the yacht very carefully on the opposite tack, as the rigging was only holding up one side of the mast. If the helmsman made a mistake while we were up on the mast, we'd crash down over the side with the entire rig on top of us.
-
Brand Quotes
We expected that our earnings from operations would be lower this quarter due to costs and expenses related to branding and operating on our own. Our current fiscal 2000 branding plan continues to call for spending of around the $140 million we mentioned in February. While we have more work to do in establishing our brand globally, we have made good progress.

Agreement Quotes
Bret comes to us as a highly regarded coach. Garrick has worked with him, as well as Mike Dunbar . He also received some high praise from Sean Payton (New Orleans Saints head coach), who was a part of my staff at Miami, and that meant a lot to me. Everyone is in agreement Bret will be a great fit for our staff. He has the background to do some great things with our offensive line and the offense as a whole.

Attitude Quotes
Every country we'd go to, I could see the reactions of the other competitors and coaches -- they knew they were seeing something special. His excellence in surfing, coming from such a small body and a young mind, was the difference between him and the others. He always had a great attitude and made friends everywhere we went.
