Z. Sheppard Quotations

When we came out at halftime, that's all we were thinking about shutting these guys out. It was like we were seven points down, that's the mentality we tried to take into the second half.

We would say that the whole process of private ownership of infrastructure has resulted in a successful outcome for the community. Cities like Sydney now have a network of roads that would not have happened, or would have happened more slowly and less efficiently, if they hadn't been done privately.

There are a lot of creative types looking for the next big thing. Well, these days, environment is it.

There are people walking from the residential area along that way to the park at all hours of the day and night. There are always pedestrians on the street.

We're seeing the right signs that the business is on track with our plans.

I did see Mickey hit one that almost cleared the roof in right field, ... There's a facade hanging down, and he hit one one night, and it bounced off near the facade. And according to legend, no fair ball has ever been hit out of Yankee Stadium.

I feel great. Truly blessed. I'm happy to be able to stay with this great organization. I've always been a part of a winning program and I'm going to do my part to keep it that way.

His reserve of disdain appears endless. He could no sooner shut it off than a vampire could forgo his nightcap.

He was not an easy student to work with, but he finally came around,

He keeps getting better with age. He's an inspiration for all of us.

I was like, man, it?s going to be a long day because that takes points off the board when you don?t have a kicker. We were in field-goal range a couple of times and we had to do other things to get points on the board.

Lately Megan (Leary) and Barber (Emily) have really been heating up a lot.

I think dealing with all these young guys makes him feel young. It makes him feel like he can still play, that he feels like he has to keep up with us.

Our credo is friendship. It's the comradeship, more than anything else, that I enjoy.

People once said they were "in" psychoanalysis, meaning they were committed to a long immersion. In a sense, they were writing their autobiographies.

My motto has always been clear, concise, correct. I found I was more interested in the way he (Gerard) did it than the other four contestants. Not easy, they all deserve credit for trying. Life is about trying to do things.

I think I got more publicity the first day than I have in 56 years. When I'm not there I command more attention than when I am there.

It feels really good. From the younger players to the seniors, everyone is stepping it up.

I think he might have been the most explosive baseball player that I have ever seen, ... He could get down to first base as fast as anybody I have ever seen play the game. He could run like a deer, and that was something that stands out about him. Power and explosiveness.

We're cool. We're getting back to basics, I guess. You always have reality checks after the kind of game we played last week, but that's in the past and we know what's up with it.

We have had discussions over a long period of time about building private toll roads in New Zealand.

We are now awaiting an Ohio state Supreme Court decision to enable us to have a civil hearing. We have extensive evidence on our primary suspect.

We knew the offense was struggling a little bit, so we wanted to come out and play the best we could to keep us in the game.

We knew their offense revolved around him. We figured that if we took him out of the equation, we would have a pretty good chance in coming out with a victory. We kept him in check, and we tried to make other guys beat us.

We are driven as a company to bring not only an efficient technology to the marketplace, but also one that is environmentally friendly.

The whole time we were driving, I was like, 'Man, it's going to be tough because we have to score a touchdown,' ... I thought we were going to have to go to overtime.

The sad thing is so many of the musicians have died.

I've seen a bunch of bad weather in this area, but we're real happy with how things turned out this time.

The short story is like an old friend who calls whenever he is in town. We are happy to hear from it; we casually fan the embers of past intimacies, and buy it lunch.

Right now the money goes to the state police. I get it from them when I go online and not before, even though if (people) dial 911 on a cell phone, I get the call.

Put that one down to a rumor. We don't comment on rumors, but I wouldn't hold your breath.

You would expect the deal flow to increase over time because our capital base is increasing and our staff numbers are increasing. I think the key to our success is that we have been successful in finding and acquiring attractive assets for investors and then we have had the capacity, aided by good market conditions, to go out and raise the capital for those investments.

You're old when you start acting old and he hasn't started acting old,

They've done their job - you've been sacked.

They even knew which driveway to pull into. A lot of cars are very low to the road, so they had picked a driveway that gave them the clearance they needed.

You don't want to have a game like this, but it puts things into perspective. A lot of times it was just us making plays. They didn't do anything we didn't expect them to do. We just didn't make the plays.

There was no doubt they were racing; all three were leaving rubber on the road even though I was right behind them.

It was definitely a coming-out party for me. He did catch a four-yard touchdown pass (late in the game) that the NFL Network keeps showing every week, but it was cool. I was excited. I was just glad to have the opportunity, that early in my career, to play against a top-notch receiver and do well. Am I satisfied? No, because he got that touchdown.

It's been an interesting time. I appreciate the opportunity to try to do some things in the county that may benefit everybody in the future.

Not at all. The fact that we?re expected to play as well as we did last year puts a lot more pressure on me and Sheldon to play at the top of our game.

I turned on my lights and all three pulled over.

They were all talking about how things were going to get crazy later.

It's not caused us to delay anything, but when you look at that kind of drop from April 2003 to January 2006, it's significant. Will it support us? I hope so.

Every time you play against a guy like that, you have to be intense. I guess when you do think you're comfortable is when you let up and he beats you for an 80-yard touchdown. It's definitely going to be intense. I don't think any one of us is at a comfort level, as far as playing him for a third time.

The corners and safeties contained their receivers and let the D-line contain the run. We expected him (Culpepper) to take his shots, just throw it up even though his receivers were covered.

I'm glad I won't have the smell of smoke clinging to my clothes any more. I'm really relieved.

I'm getting better. It takes a little time, but I'm getting better.

I'm grateful to Bank of America, a great New York institution, for the opportunity to judge a contest that will showcase the enthusiasm and passion that New Yorkers have for another legendary New York institution, the Yankees.

I have one style of speaking, ... It's the same at Yankee Stadium, at home, in the classroom, or when I lector at Mass.

I'm just happy to put this incident behind me and move forward in preparation for the Stone Bridge game and coaching my kids Friday night.

I owe a lot to him. He's a great guy. They were just thrilled for me.

If you're going to look at my specific group, our biggest tradition is that we are family.

I have three cell phones and one land line in my house. For my work, every employee carries a cell phone and a personal cell phone.

I offered my services, but they were declined. Of course, they had (Catholic actress) Helen Hayes,

It helps a lot. Last year we didn't have that other scoring threat inside. It helps a lot to have Kelly, especially in really close games when they try and key on you.

I just heard about the book today. The song, I just heard about that. Hey, he can have fun, express himself however he needs. That's that. I make songs. I've been writing books. What makes him so different?

If he gets to stomping on the Eagles, I'm going to try to stomp on the star. We'll go both ways. . . . I know he wants to have it out for the organization, so he's going to want to have two of his best games of the year, especially when he plays us. Hey, this is my job. We've got to play.

I don't think they did too many spectacular things.

The filing fees are becoming an issue for bottom-end (small) companies.
