For years, I felt miserable about being an outsider, but then I suddenly embraced it, ... I saw the value of being an outsider. It was liberating. You didn't have to worry about trying to fit in or losing your insider status. It also encouraged you to challenge and provoke the status quo. |
Frankly I think the ongoing participation in the Olympics, that decision will have a lot to do with what we do with World Cup or not. But again, it's early to say. We're committed to Vancouver in 2010 and if we're not committed beyond that (to the Olympics) I could easily see a World Cup. |
Frankly, it was never practicable for the AG's office to receive a vast sum of money and then try to disperse that money to individual investors, ... Those individual investors will have to go through some sort of fact-finding process to demonstrate who relied on who and is owed how much. |
From a philosophical perspective, (DeLay) and I are on the same page. We are both solid, committed conservatives and we are not ashamed of it. We stand up and say what we believe and we go to work for it... We think down the same path. He is one of rare individuals that I just click with. |
From our point of view, we don't want foreigners controlling our ports. From their point of view, this is a legitimate company that had a legitimate bid and won, and here are all these congressmen saying all these things about not wanting this company. It looks to them like its anti-Arab. |

From the outside you look at these contestants and think 'get a life,' but within certain subcultures — and we're all in one that looks strange to the outside — if you're a part of that rabid fan community, this is one of the ways you express it and rise to the top of that subculture. |
From what I hear, Hammond was hit harder than we were so it's probably good we're playing the game a couple of days later. It should give them more time to clean up. Considering everything that has happened with this hurricane, we're just happy to be playing, regardless of what day it is. |
Gary's expertise in biometric technology is a driving force in continuing Pay By Touch's leadership position in biometric applications. His extensive background in biometric systems helps Pay By Touch stay ahead of the curve to provide the fastest, most convenient, most secure way to pay. |
Given that the tsunami killed 150,000 people [in Southeast Asia], I frankly think we responded pretty well to a storm that might have done the same, given the density of the population in the area where it hit. Essentially, Katrina was a nuclear bomb without a mushroom cloud or radiation. |
Glenn is the one who gets us up. He is the one who is preparing the team, who is coaching us and who is talking to us before and after games. He deserves all the credit and we now have something to go for for the rest of the season. I can only hope we can repay him and all the supporters. |
Harold, of course, is a person who doesn't express himself as clearly as you might like. He's sort of vague from time to time about how he feels about things. There's a shyness to him in private meetings when it comes to telling you exactly what he thinks of you, your idea and your plans. |
Having somebody new come in, you wonder how are they going to gel and mix in with the rest of the team and how are they going to be accepted. It was a great fit from the very beginning. You anticipate what are going to be some problems and concerns but those were taken care of right away. |
He brings attitude. He's been in baseball a long time and has worked with a lot of players. He's been to the World Series and stuff like that. And that's what we need. We need a manager who's going to come in and establish a positive attitude in the clubhouse, and that's what we have now. |
He can't do much wrong in my book, ... He's the model of what you should try to be in this business. He's a wonderful human being, a good Christian man and a great coach. I don't know why he would want to get back into this meat grinder. But he'll get done whatever needs to be done there. |
