We're coming off such a low base, higher rates will be more of a confirmation of an economic recovery than a dampening on corporate profits, ... We've been long on a lot of sectors tied to economic recovery and growth, and we're not going to change that stance, even after the first rate increase. |
We're delivering solid profitability while maintaining lean channel inventories in a weak economic environment, ... Our balance sheet remains very strong, with over $4.2 billion in cash, and we are targeting a slight sequential increase in revenues and earnings per share in the September quarter. |

We're going to have to be patient in what we do on offense and attack the basket. The most important thing is to make them play defense, and not play them shot-for-shot. We have to value each and every possession. That's when we're at our best, and I think that will affect them if we can do that. |
We're happy to be back in. A year ago, a lot of people probably didn't know if we could be here. Look at what these players have done. We went from 19 wins to 33, and I think we regained a lot of respect that we lost last year, too. These 18 guys that are here right now have done a hell of a job. |
We're kind of staggering the touring a bit at this point just to write more songs for our next record. We've got a month booked to just go write, which I think we're all excited about. And then maybe test 'em out just on tour, maybe in February, and then hopefully be in the studio for the spring. |
We're looking forward to the second half. We know its going to be difficult, but the team who comes to play will be the team to win. Losing early like we did, in close games was hard for us. We talk a lot about playing with heart and confidence and they know what they have to do from here on out. |
We're not asking to let Stanley out, ... We don't want him killed, that's all, because we think his message is important. Williams has without question gone through a personal redemption, has repudiated his past and has made contact with thousands of kids, teachers and parents across the country. |
We're not even going to think about what we could've done or look back. The only thing we're going to do is look forward, and I'm pleased with the guy we've got in there. We truly believe in him. Maybe there will be some tough times and people expect you to win every game, and that's not reality. |
We're not going to sit here and say (it was) the field or this or the rain or the cold, but that's the worst field I've played on since I was a little kid. I mean, when you stood in the middle of that field, you were in about six inches of mud. But, you know, so were they. And they held us today. |
We're not mandating fluffier pillows or creating a legal right to a bigger bag of peanuts, ... What we're troubled by is that unlike other retail establishments, the airline industry basically keeps you in the dark. Our bill is basically about getting good information and empowering the consumer. |
We're not supervised. We're sort of allowed, like an independent filmmaker, to do what we want. You don't get that freedom anywhere else. And this is the only studio outside of Disney, when Walt Disney ran it, where an artist runs the whole place. Here, it's John Lasseter, and that trickles down. |
We're proud of our record fourth-quarter results and fourth consecutive year of double-digit earnings increases despite rising funding costs and related industry-wide pressure on margins. Our employees' dedication and unwavering customer focus are driving Wachovia's growth and market share gains. |
We're sitting on our blessed Mother Earth from which we get our strength and determination, love and humility - all the beautiful attributes that we've been given. So turn to one another; love one another; respect one another; respect Mother Earth; respect the waters - because that's life itself! |
We're the third-youngest team in the league, and it's starting to show. We're in a rebuilding process and we've still got a few missing pieces. We lack in confidence --kind of like my first season here. This is an unforgiving league. But one of these games, we're going to put everything together. |
