If you lose a game you're not going to sleep, or even if you win sometimes because there's always the next game. It's a lot of wear and tear on your mind. Some of the series you could be down or facing elimination, and that puts stress on you. You have to bear down with it and prepare yourself for your next shift. |
If you use a good product and prepare it simply, you're going to get a good end product. I use a lot of fresh vegetables from local farmers. We're known for our rotisserie-roasted prime rib, but now we're going to be doing it over a hard-wood grill, so it will bring out the flavor even more. It's things like that. |
If you want to compete on a national scale, the Empire Zone basically takes away the problem of high taxation in New York. I think the hope that everyone has with the program, which lasts for 10 to 15 years, is that New York will continue the trend of lowering its taxes so we won't need Empire Zones in the future. |
In a society of little economic development, universal inactivity accompanies universal poverty. You survive not by struggling against nature, or by increasing production, or by relentless labor; instead you survive by expending as little energy as possible, by striving constantly to achieve a state of immobility. |
In between those early ones and what I'm doing now, there were all kinds of pieces in which I tried to build works incrementally and let the increments show, so I sprayed dots or I used my finger prints or used chunks of pulp paper, or any one of a number of ways to build an image out of discrete individual units. |
In Boston, he was the face of that team. In New York, he's just a piece of the puzzle. He puts Jeter back in the No. 2 hole where he is tremendous. He's going to bring speed with the hit-and-run and his base stealing. I've always respected him as a player. But he has to earn my respect as someone in the clubhouse. |
In fact, we are the championship events of the sport of marathon running. Like the championship events of tennis and golf, we are now positioning ourselves to work together rather than individually, which will be a venture attractive to runners and non-runners, athletics enthusiasts, and casual observers of sport. |
In males, narcissism is something that has been associated with immaturity. Classically, it's something men are supposed to abandon to become adult males. Today, consumerism tells all males that … they never need abandon their narcissism. That they never need grow up. Just so long as they buy the right products. |
In my opinion, they could have done a better job of capitalizing on the cachet names of Gretzky, Jordan, and Elway. It always seemed to be a very low-key involvement on their part, possibly because of a concern of being too closely associated with a dot.com business they perhaps didn't fully believe in or support. |
In our minds, [the freshmen] have all the ability in the world. It's just that they have to be thrown into the fire this year. We try to let them know, even though you're freshmen and you've never set foot on this field or caught a pass at Delaware, that means nothing. You can't use that excuse out there Saturday. |
In the fourth quarter of calendar 1999, sales grew 170 percent year-over-year. In the second quarter they just reported, sales grew 84 percent. So, if you went back six months, Amazon's market capitalization when they generated that 170 percent growth was probably around $25 to $30 billion. Today it's $15 billion, |

Increasingly, companies would pretty much write their own accounting rules when they put together their earnings releases. We said to ourselves, let's figure out how to do this the right way so the earnings number really tells us something about what's going on and the number is consistent from company to company. |
