Keeping costs down and getting close to the customer makes an awful lot of sense when the revenue environment is flattening.

Jerry Reinsdorf

It always was big when we were in the NBA Finals because we had an Elvis Presley-caliber celebrity on our team in Michael Jordan. But the World Series is much bigger. I've never seen Chicago this excited. Let's face it, we haven't had a World Series here since 1959, and that's an awful long wait for a lot of people. Winning all those championships with the Bulls was great, but it would be the ultimate of my sports career if we win a world championship.

God made the wicked Grocer / For a mystery and a sign, / That men might shun the awful shop/ And go to inns to dine.

John Salmons

Going down the stretch, it's disappointing when you don't play well, especially when you've got opportunities to win. Just about every game we've played down the stretch, we just couldn't pull them out, so it's more disappointing than anything. The Bulls keep losing, so we're still in the playoffs. We've got 16 games left, got to stay with it, just can't quit and keep trying.

Pat Riley

I thought we did a great job at the end of finally closing down and forcing some misses. The Bulls are a drive-and-kick, pick-and-roll type of team. They can stay with you if they get open shots.

Peter Cardillo

I think what we are experiencing here is a classic stampede of bulls in a long-term bull market,

Dick Muir

I think we all know that their forwards are really physical and enjoy confrontation, but I'd imagine the Bulls are also going to be chasing a bonus-point win and would therefore want to score tries.

Barbara Turner

It is just a matter of putting points on the board. That is something we have been really, really working on the last three days. I think we have gotten a lot better at it already. I am not saying we are the Chicago Bulls or anything, but we have gotten a lot better over the last couple days. It is still a work in progress.

Courtney LaVere

Knowing it's the end of the season and the end of my career possibly, I don't want to regret anything.

Walt Jocketty

I would think it's a good fit, ... but that's not something for me to decide. He started his career there, and he's obviously one of the top managers in the game that's not employed as a manager. Jim is going to manage somewhere in 2006. Definitely.

David Skorton

I wouldn't be so presumptuous as to walk in here with approximately 90 seconds of experience and start telling the people who have made their careers here what the important issues are.

Golf has been such a gift in my life, and I've enjoyed it so much and enjoyed lots of wonderful times on the golf course with my husband first, and then I got to play in all these celebrity tournaments. I'm often the only female celebrity in the tournament, hence the term 'Token Chick.' So it's been such a great, great gift in my life.

John Landis

I think you can see in the movie how passionate, really passionate John and Danny were about the music. It's a unique situation where you have two guys who are exploiting their own celebrity of the moment to focus a spotlight on these great acts.

Ken Tucker

I think what underpins Howard Stern's outrageousness is that fact that he's a really intelligent guy, ... When you go on the 'Howard Stern Show' as a celebrity guest, you know you're not just there to plug your movie. You know you're there because Howard is really interested in you and wants to pry something out of you. He wants to get to your essence.

Larry Brown

He's a Chicago kid. That team had a great future. I don't know if it's ever easy being traded. My hope is that this is a good situation for him.

Maurice Cheeks

I thought Chicago had more energy, that's for sure.

Paul Greening

The people who aren't going to vote aren't going to vote if you give them two months. But if you have any kind of political organization, this is a political gold mine. If you are a well-organized township or Chicago ward, you can get a good chunk of your vote way before the election.

Stan Perkins

It really starts with the day Elvis Presley went to Sun Studios to record a song for his mother. Sam Phillips didn't like his singing, but a secretary did and kept his phone number. Sam Phillips said one day he needed a white kid who could sing black, and she had Elvis' number in her drawer.

It actually was an important match. My senior year, probably the last time I'll face him unless I get him at districts, so yeah, it was an important match to me. I tried hard, but I didn't have the mental game today.

Monica

I talk a lot about strength, faith and love, but I don't ever talk about the fact that I am one of the most sensitive people in my family. That might be the most shocking, because you always see me fighting the good fight, with the strong face on, but I am the most emotional.

Having those three guys in the finals is going to nail our name to the wall pretty well.

Anton LaVey

If real Satanism were allowed the kind of television time that Christianity has now, the kind of drawing out and patience that interviewers give sports figures, or the kind of coverage that a baseball game gets, Christianity would be completely eliminated in a few short months. If people were allowed to see the complete, unbiased truth, even for 60 minutes, it would be too dangerous. There would be no comparison.

Dick Enberg

He was the first superstar of sports television.

Rob Sheffield

When I was a junior, my school introduced badminton, which was clearly a P.E. department ploy to get me away from the wrestling room, and it worked, since the first time I played badminton was like the first time I tasted sushi or heard the Beatles or read Wordsworth.

Richard Petty

Racing has become more show time; we've got to have something new to create interest in the sport.

Richard Dawkins

Science has taught us, against all intuition, that apparently solid things like crystals and rocks are really almost entirely composed of empty space.

Richard Dawkins

I think we have got to start again and go right back to first principles. The argument I shall advance, surprising as it may seem coming from the author of the earlier chapters, is that, for an understanding of the evolution of modern man, we must begin by throwing out the gene as the sole basis of our ideas on evolution. If there is only one Creator who made the tiger and the lamb, the cheetah and the gazelle, what is He playing at? Is he a sadist who enjoys spectator blood sports? ...

Alejandro Canizares

He's a valuable player. He's one of the top three on the team, so we had a much weaker team this week.

Sergei Samsonov

He's a terrific player. He's tricky. He makes a lot of plays. He makes that team a lot better. Him being out of their lineup works to our advantage.

No one wants to quit when he's losing and no one wants to quit when he's winning.

Richard P. Feynman

Winning a Nobel Prize is no big deal, but winning it with an IQ of 124 is really something.

Richard Dawkins

Just because science so far has failed to explain something, such as consciousness, to say it follows that the facile, pathetic explanations which religion has produced somehow by default must win the argument is really quite ridiculous.

Richelle Mead

This isn’t a game. We don’t want mediocre employees who can keep the status quo. We want souls. We want to win. And you’ve spent most of your time here being mediocre.

Richelle Mead

I haven’t even really tried to win you over, Roza. When I want to, I can be very persuasive.

Retief Goosen

Pretty much whoever wins the tournament at the end of the week is the guy that putted probably the best.

Retief Goosen

You can't really measure your game. You can shoot seven under and lose and you can shoot even and win.

Retief Goosen

I remember winning the first time, you know, suddenly everybody expects, well, okay, now he should win every time he tees it up, win six tournaments.
