There hasn't been anything about this project that isn't a considerable challenge. But when we're through, we'll have something that's not only a treasure for the entire state, the Midwest and the nation, but we will also have something that's a treasure in terms of where people want to come. |
There have been a lot of days, but we had a couple of team meals, a team day on the pond, a trip to a pool hall. I think the chemistry is starting to come around. We had a lot of (personnel) moves early on in the season, with new guys coming in and out. It's been pretty consistent as of late. |
There is a belief in each other right now, that if we go out there and work hard, we have a good opportunity every night. No matter what kind of talent you have on your team, you need that if you really want to do well and win hockey games. You need that feeling. We have to hold on to it now. |
There is a simple, three-step way of doing things. Give the dog a simple command - just one word, no rambling on - and explain what you have done and get the result. For example, tell the dog to sit, push its rear down and then give him lots of praise when he does it. He'll get it in the end. |
There is no bigger promotional platform than the Olympics. I'm honored that NBC is utilizing one of its most cherished and powerful assets to help drive buzz for The Apprentice brand. This promotion marks the first time I've ever invited the public to select a cast member for one of my shows. |
There is no substitute really for learning about the world of work and being in the world of work. You can do that through internships. You can do it through summer job experiences or even from volunteer jobs in your local community. Strive early to get some kind of practical work experience. |
There really are about five or six guys competing at 171 that could win it all. It's been proven in the past that on any give night one of those top guys could step up and beat the other. In the lower state, there are five solid guys so one good wrestler isn't even going to qualify for state. |
There seems to be a new benchmark in terms of what we call a blockbuster, ... This year, by the end of the year, we'll wind up with about 17 films over $100 million. But the key to this year's success is that we have five films that have gone beyond $200 million. That's never happened before. |
There used to be a lot fewer people and you tended to know them all. I don't know who and the [heck] all these people are. When I started coming here there weren't the agents, there weren't the gurus, there weren't the equipment salesmen. There were members and press and players and families. |
There were times that they've shown they can do it easily but there's times that they're not on the same page. There's times the two of them are in the same spot. I know where this team is going, I know what I want. There's certain things I don't like but at the end of the day they can do it. |
There's a different type of feeling on this team than on the playoff teams I've been on. This is a very unselfish group of guys. This season ranks right up there with the best I've experienced. But having said that, I've won a division title before. This is all about winning the World Series. |
There's a perception that the economy is getting better, whether that perception is real or not. You have a lot of people choosing to see the glass as half full at the moment. But I would expect that in a few days we're going to see some profit taking. This is really just a big trading range. |
There's been a lot of stuff. I always seem to be in the middle of it. ... It always seems like I'm in the middle of something. Even when I don't do anything I do something. I tried to stay out of everyone's way and not do anything, but it's just the way it seems to go for me. What can you do? |
There's clearly a lack of interest in investing while the economy works through these Katrina issues, ... We need to get a clearer sense of when gasoline prices are going to come back to normal. When I talk to retail investors, a lot are frozen by the level of uncertainty those issues create. |
