When a book is written, it's a final product. But, when a script is finished, it's really just a blueprint. And it's an extraordinary experience for me to watch someone take what I wrote and imagined and make it three-dimensional. And it's great if someone adds something I hadn't thought of. |

When a goalie is off for that long, you expect he might be a little rusty. Early on, he was giving out a few more rebounds than normal. If we had jumped on a few on those, it might have been different. As the game wore on, he seemed to get more comfortable and he was pretty solid back there. |
When bad luck comes along, you've got to have a lot of momentum and a lot of forward motion. But Bush didn't do a lot of things that would have gotten him through those moments. When the hurricanes hit, when Katrina hit in particular, he already had lost momentum. And he slammed into a wall. |
When Christian kids and those with traditional viewpoints were expressing their views they were being silenced all over the country. We hear a lot about tolerance these days, but what we're seeing more and more is an outright hostility toward people of particular faiths, mostly Christianity. |
When I read reviews, I go right past the plot. I don't want to read anything about the story, and I just get a take on whether or not I like the attitude of this guy first of all, or woman, and then to see if it has things in it that are surprising and original and then maybe I'll go see it. |
When I suggested a Vivaldi disc [in the late 90s], it was difficult to convince them to do it. But it was enormously successful and I proved that there was an audience ready to discover it. I like to present a project which has both a commercial and a cultural element. I try to combine them. |

When party leaders approached me three weeks ago, I told them how difficult a campaign would be this year considering my personal and professional commitments, ... Besides, I never cared for candidates who had to be coaxed into a political battle. Either you feel it in your gut or you don't. |
When someone of Don Logan's [chairman of the AOL Time Warner media and communications group] caliber finally commits to a number, at least there's some solidity in it, ... But obviously, there were some people who were surprised when he said [EBITDA would be] down 15 to 25 percent next year. |
When the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals delivered the craziest ruling in American history by striking down the Pledge of Allegiance three years ago, the U.S. Supreme Court stepped in and stopped the insanity. The lower courts striking down the pledge again is like a dog returning to its vomit. |
When the meals tax was sold to us, I spoke out against it because they hadn't done their due diligence, they didn't do their homework, they didn't raise the money. What Wilder did [Monday] night is he expressed a method and a methodology for Richmond to raise the money to create real change. |

When things get tough, Armon is the type of kid who is just going to get mad and come at you harder. He's always going to compete. That's what I appreciate about him the most. He's never going to hang his head. He knows there are things he needs to work on to make himself better and he will. |
When we come into the present, we begin to feel the life around us again, but we also encounter whatever we have been avoiding. We must have the courage to face whatever is present / our pain, our desires, our grief, our loss, our secret hopes our love / everything that moves us most deeply. |
