My early influences I'd say were, well, just about all the old great masters like Lester Young, Coleman Hawkins, naturally Charlie Parker and quite a few others that are still around like Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis and Illinois Jacquet and of course my great friend Dexter Gordon. |
My feeling was that, as much as Richard Dean Anderson is a beloved actor and character in the show, Ben is coming in with an established fan base from another show playing a great character, and he's just very enthusiastic to be there. Fun to work with. It looks very bright. |
My job is to stop shots and keep the team in a position to win. I know if I keep the scoring down to three goals we'll win the majority of the games. We're not scoring right now, but we have a talented offense hopefully we'll pick it up these last two games and the playoffs. |
My New Orleans community is in tremendous need and I truly appreciate the support of the Storm family during this challenging time for us. I thank the Sonics & Storm organization for arranging this donation drive and for their compassion for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. |
My parents weren't too excited at first, neither was my girlfriend. Most of my friends were pretty concerned. My parents warmed up to the idea after they were convinced by missionary family friends who lived in the Middle East and said that it was a lot safer than it seemed. |
My philosophy has always been that if you work toward some type of compromise, you've actually got a chance to get the bill signed into law, ... On a lot of issues, we've spent years debating them. Unless we can reach consensus ... we'll spend another 20 years debating them. |
My range seems to have been getting higher. I just can't sing as low as I used to. I don't know how I ever recorded some of the old songs in such low keys. Lindsey often changes his songs, too. He records a song in E, then changes to F. That can affect the vocal blend a lot. |
My sense right now is that we're in a trading range market. I would be looking for a pullback. I don't see any major catalysts that would propel stocks on the upside. We have nervousness over the situation in Iraq, and I'm frankly concerned about reports out of Saudi Arabia. |
My two days at this week's test were focused on Michelin selection for the Spanish Grand Prix, which takes place in a month from now. We have been evaluating the prime and options with Michelin, with some interesting results, and have been able to conclude the process today. |
My whole thing is when I get my opportunity, I need to take advantage of it. I don't know how the situation is going to be, but going into practices, I'll go in just trying to compete with everybody else and give 100 percent. At the end of the day, I'll feel good about that. |
Nasser's been the primary architect of a failed transformation of Ford from its core automotive heritage to some expansive consumer-centric organization, which we think employees, dealers, suppliers and investors have found to varying degrees to be somewhat incomprehensible, |

Ninety-six percent of women in this country expect a diamond when they get engaged. About 40 percent of the diamond market is married people. It's the second diamond for the same girl. People who stay married spend more on diamonds. Most of the time the man is the motivator. |
No matter what we're doing offensively, I should pitch better. I knew Chris was going to throw a good game tonight. He has great stuff. I kind of made some mistakes tonight. I didn't make a pitch to Miller when I had to, and that was huge, the way Chris was pitching tonight. |
