Denise Cocciolone
There is no evidence in their recent history that would indicate that injuries have in any way compromised their ability to perform in a winning way.

David Brinkley
We're on a roll in a way. Everybody was expecting us to do this and that, but we're just coming out and performing real well as a team.
Antonio Anderson

Keith Wood
We've made it hard for ourselves because we didn't perform as well as we should have. Our engineers are digesting data now and will be discussing options well into the night I would think.

The Vietnam accounting standards for non-performing loans show a rate of about 4 percent. But if they were to apply international standards the rate would probably be closer to 15 percent, a very high rate indeed.

Bruce's absence will not affect the team. We have players who understand the importance of keeping their heads and performing on the day. We are focused on what we want to achieve and we will. Yes, Bruce will be missed, but we have to do what we have to do.
Aaron Lawrence
Obviously, we are not going to be doing open heart surgery at this stage. Eventually, we should be able to perform most operations.

Carles Puyol
I am honored to perform with Joe Negri and the Slippery Rock Chamber Choir this Saturday. He is such an established musician.
Ryan Griffin

Allan Hale
We've got to perform better. I don't know enough right now to say we've got to go sign somebody for $10 million. I don't know that we have to do that. We just have to see what's available to us. You're always looking to improve, so sure, we'd love to add to our mix.

I prefer film to the stage. I always like the rehearsal better than I like performing.

Larry Bailey
When I first started, [it was like] your career was that of a tennis player - you're done by 25, ... So, the bar has been raised and I'm very happy about that. And the fact that I'm performing better than ever - that's what I call ambitious.
David Coverdale
They asked us to put together a set of Irish music for one of the stages in 2004. Our first gig was a massive one, partly because it was raining hard and we were performing at one of the only stages located beneath a tent.
Tony Davoren
It was annoying to me the first time I ever heard it. Mind you, I had to go perform that all the time, and it was miserable for me because I didn't know how to use my voice properly. All I knew was how to be on 100.
Linda Perry
I think it's one of the great performance arts centers in the world. The performing arts in Australia have blossomed, I think, largely because of the role that this building plays.
Michael Lynch
You've got to perform in a role hundreds of times. In keeping it fresh one can become a large, madly humming, demented refrigerator.
Sir Ralph Richardson

It's my favorite piece to perform. Everybody in the company can relate to the themes that come across. There's just such an honor in performing it every night.
Julie Fiorenza
Our girls really want to get to the finals, because a number of them haven't experienced that yet. Some of them just want to know what it is like, and I think being able to compete at home really gives us an added bonus to accomplish that chance. We are really excited to perform for our home crowd.
Kristi Lafleur
Our men played well, we just couldn't get things going our way. They battled hard, but came up short. Andy had a good win, but we were flat in our doubles and hopefully when we get the chance to play them again we will perform much better.
Sally Brown
We will continue to perform our constitutional duty of looking into the impeachment complaint against the President. I just hope that the pro-impeachment lawmakers will reconsider their plan to boycott the hearings, but we will not beg them to participate in the proceedings.
Prospero Nograles
We have to maintain a level of smoothness. Sometimes there are accidents on stage, and sometimes we will perform with the audiences. The key is to make everything look easy.
George Stavropoulos
While health insurance will continue to drive the company, it's good to have these other well-performing products to fall back on when insurance has a down period.

Dan Hubbard
The girls always love performing at home and a the large crowd elevated their enthusiasm and focus. Having these fans together was great.
Barb Gibson
This pattern is fundamental to probably all Japanese art, particularly the performing arts or poetry. The Japanese feel it's actually the rhythm of nature.... Nature is a continuous process of beginnings, accelerated development and quick endings.
Gary Mathews
We've got to keep performing. The batsmen played well on a docile pitch, but this one looks fresher and looks to have a bit more pace in it so we'll have to be on our mettle.
Vaughn Johnson
[At a spry 72 with five decades of innovative performing now behind him, does Zawinul know where jazz itself is heading?] I have no idea, ... but as a good improviser, I know where it is not: the past.
Joe Zawinul
Because of the result of reaching out to the audience, I'm a better person. I love to perform.
Robert Welch
We had been performing in Newington since 1962, but when they informed us that the building was not up to code, we suddenly found ourselves homeless. We had to cancel our next production, which would have been our 100th.

It had her performing stripping, touching herself, things of that nature.
Shane Wilson
It's the industry's highest performing processor.

Daniel Chan
We didn't perform very well as a team tonight but they worked hard and I'm proud of them.
Cameron Beard
We're deeper in the relays. We have just so much more depth to get some good people in every event. With depth, you tend to find more people who can perform at a higher level.
David Stroh
It was pretty daunting to perform this stuff live, even for Led Zeppelin. Even they didn't keep it going once John Bonham died.
Steph Paynes
For September, domestic funds are performing pretty much as usual. Based on our activity so far, we're looking at an in flow of $20 billion for equities.

Your heath and, physically, your ability to perform are key factors.
Andrew Gaze
It's incredibly moving to hear some of our greatest actors performing Shakespeare.

They are really waiting to see how the economy will perform this year before raising rates.
John Calverley
People who eat potatoes will never be able to perform their abilities in whatever job they choose to have.
Richard Cobden
The main effect is it kills the fun for the athlete. If you're not having fun and you're being pressured, you are going to be tight. You can't perform at any level if you are physically tight.
Alan Goldberg
We're extremely grateful for the broad coverage of hockey the NBC family is providing from the Olympic Winter Games. We hope that our teams will perform well and that the exposure will enhance our efforts to further grow the game in the U.S.
Dave Ogrean
Companies like Eaton and Parker Hannifin are performing extremely well at the moment, they've got a lot of cash. They'd probably like to reduce their exposure to the dollar by expanding in Europe.
Gary Murphy
We don't just show up in the gymnasium and perform, we want the kids to learn something.
Michael Egel
The taxpayers shouldn't have to pay for a low-performing job. I would like to see that money go to the teachers.

Larry Bloom
We didn't show up and they came out to perform like the No. 1 team in the district that they are. I guess that's a bad combination, coming out and not playing and having the best team in district come into town.
Luis Carmona
Baseball players get booed sometimes, but if you get stressed out about it, you can't perform. In order to grow, you've just got to learn to accept it.
Lee Seung Yeop
Our goal in these meets is to get in and perform the way we practiced. Tonight was pretty close to the way we practice.
