I'm afraid I was very much the traditionalist. I went down on one knee and dictated a proposal which my secretary faxed over straight away.

Stephen Fry

If he's the best in this conference, that's saying something. He sure is striking the ball well. He doesn't ever seem to be getting himself in any trouble. As long as you are long and straight, you should be in the running. Now, if he can get hot with his putter -- I haven't seen that from him yet.

Harrison Hearne

I am very proud of my guys for winning the Boll Weevil Classic for the second straight year. It was a long week in which we played six games, but they stayed focused. We hit the ball really well this week and once again our pitching was outstanding.

Shawn Gilmer

He has always been a real straight shooting type of old school Italian guy.

John Scully

TXU went straight to the wells.

Larry Marshall

It was just one of those fun days. I hardly had any trouble at all. I've shared the lead after the second round for two straight weeks, so obviously the game is good.

Luke Donald

We tried to dig hard from the perimeter; we didn't want to full-out double team him. We know that he's a really good passer out of the post. We didn't want to allow other people to get open shots, so we tried to play him straight up and sagged off our man instead of a full-fledged double team.

Brian Snider

It will go straight through; we are pretty disenfranchised in this process. The Council of Europe has gotten everything it wanted so far. We will have to focus on national governments now.

Gus Hosein

There's a lot of excitement of going fast and going straight down an in-run. Once you push off that bar you're committed to a flight.

Matt Cook

I just stayed facing straight ahead.

Ricky Ori

I guess we had straight-line winds, and it ripped the whole roof off.

Don Jensen

We would definitely be disappointed if we didn't win, no doubt. The tradition established by the athletes before these is something that certainly comes into play. I definitely think there is a lot of pride involved in those 16 straight regional titles.

Craig Harris

Her learning curve is pretty quick. She picks things up rather quickly. She swims pretty straight.

Scott Kerr

Today Katie went out there and didn't have her best stuff but was still able to get the job done, our defense stepped it up for the second straight game and Katie got out of tight situations.

Katie Daley

(The academy) offers brand new teachers the support they need to get through that very difficult first year. It is a brand new experience and most of what you learn in college is straight from a book. That (classroom) experience is really quite different.

Kathy Murray

Tequila. Straight. There's a real polite drink. You keep drinking until you finally take one more and it just won't go down. Then you know you've reached your limit.

Lee Marvin

I'd just tell him, `Great catch,' ... He looked like he was being careful. He knew where he was at the time and place and that he was going to miss it or catch it and not injure himself. My situation was different. I wasn't under control like him and my angle was different-I was going straight back. It could happen (to Ichiro), if he weren't so controlled and graceful.

Bobby Valentine

I left drama school and went straight into a 10-week film for which I was paid $75 I might say, which for 1962 was one heck of a lot of money.

John Hurt

I wasn't too familiar with all that, I just knew they beat us two straight. I just wanted the win.

Arron Afflalo

For the most part, we've been pretty lucky and the current has been taking the sewage straight out to sea. But that could change.

Kurt Tsue

We will use air power and turn it on straight- away. We have planes up in the sky as you've probably heard. They can be brought in at a moment's notice.

Chris Vernon

We've also evaluated the effects of habitual use of the gum and determined the effects of caffeine administration on the subsequent ability to sleep in Soldiers who were kept awake for 36 to 77 hours straight. They were able to sleep just as well as the groups that received placebos.

Dr. Gary Kamimori

You spoke with passion for the civil rights of all Americans — regardless of if they're gay or straight. Thank you. Fairness is something that we should all agree on so in many ways this was no surprise. One day, I hope you'll even join me on a trip to Capitol Hill to argue for this basic right.

Joe Solmonese

We went to a zone defense to begin with and that messed our kids up. They weren't talking as much as they should have. We went straight man (defense) and we got them to turn the ball over.

Tim Buddenhagen

When my agents said I had been approached to play the president on this show, I said, `So do I have to read it first or will you just say yes now?' For Thelma to be the president is just delightful. It's certainly the role with the most gravitas that I've had to play. I love the way Mackenzie is in the world, how she deals with people, how straight she is and how intelligent and confident she is.

Geena Davis

Zach's got power in his bat and power in his arm. When he's got his mind straight, he can do a whole lot of things.

Jim Gantt

He held that IV bag up for two hours straight. He just stood there with a blank look on his face.

Michael Bonnette

I just thought he needed to be down here for his son. He got in the car straight away.

Rodney Eade

It's a huge win for us. It pulls us ahead of Los Angeles in our conference. It's great to head into the break winning five straight, but coming from behind in all of those games might be tempting fate a little bit.

Chris Pronger

It's good for the sport because he's a straight-out guy, and it's important to have somebody like Bode in our circus. But if everybody was like him, no, it would not be good.

Marco Buechel

He took the first run OK and then he just burst through at the top of the straight.

Greg Childs

It was a typical Brendan Murphy race. He passed four or five runners in the last straight-away. He's still not convinced he can run with the leaders.

Jose Sosa

You work seven straight days once you get there. You get one day off each week for the rest of the time. That day is usually spent doing laundry.

Martha Minnich

The law doesn't allow any parent, gay or straight ... to shop state to state for a custody ruling they like. The question here is frankly very simple -- was there a proceeding under way.

Joseph Price

I think it's relatively healthy. Nothing goes straight up. We know that. There needs to be a little consolidation before you can go higher. Between the situation in Iran and the Dow downgrades, it's probably been a nice little excuse to take a few profits.

Joseph Keating

These guys grew up hitting it hard and wanting to hit it hard. You can always learn to temper it. It's hard to go the other way, learning to hit it straight first.

Brian Craig

It's more of a technical thing. Now I know how to hit a breaking ball much better because of my work with the hitting coach. Before, I was swinging straight through those. I had no chance at it at all.

Yuniesky Betancourt

I heard they thought it was a blockage of the intestines. Yesterday (Sunday) he was in a lot of pain and there was talk of doing surgery, but his condition improved and I heard that he would be able to leave hospital straight away.

Saburo Kawabuchi

It's the boiling point. It's the moment when the line starts to shoot straight upwards.

Malcolm Gladwell

I'm not saying just because we won 10 straight games that we're definitely going to go to the postseason. But let me tell you something: It's a good sign for us.

Bobby Gonzalez

You don't have to be straight to be in the military; you just have to be able to shoot straight.

Barry Goldwater

After that I will go straight to France and join my team. Honestly, one should not compare the soccer here and that in France.

Faisal Khalil

Nobody on my staff is on salary. The money goes straight [to the charities].

Ferguson Jenkins

I lost count how many times. I'd play around and get in trouble. He kept me straight.

Jason Mcgriff

The new criteria hurts the hybrid because it's not a straight, simple gasoline engine. I've heard the mileage numbers will drop by as much as 20 percent. That 20 percent is the difference between a hybrid and a compact that runs entirely on gasoline.

Michael Chung

We made a decision to go with straight entertainment programming in late night, ... That's just basically a scheduling opportunity that we felt over the long term had more potential.

Lloyd Braun

He was trying to pull to get out of position and he had his leg locked out straight. Konrad dropped down and shot like a low single. All of the weight came on the knee. It was one of those things where the ankle got caught in the mat and there was nothing you could do.

Jim Zalesky

A lot of good quarterbacks in this league have taken different routes to be a starter in the NFL, ... It's not always a straight line.

Brooks Bollinger

It's one of our most important games of the season. The next four games are set up for us. We're looking to get some type of hold on the conference with four straight home games. We're looking to this game to get our momentum started.

Brandon Lincoln

As we were coming in, we decided to stay straight and level. This would give us the most time to try and restart and also it made more sense rather than try to get to land — that could jeopardize somebody in a building, somebody in a car. We don't need to bring others into it.

John Eberle

It beat us up a little bit to play at 95 degrees for three straight days.

Jamie Ashworth

It is a challenge to perform for 50 straight minutes. It is an aerobic workout, but an enjoyable and exhausting challenge. We get our energy from the audience. It is great to go out there and see 6,000-7,000 people singing and dancing.

Greg Page

At that altitude, as long as you hit it straight, distance is never a question. The ball gets to a certain plane and stays there. Less wind resistance.

Joe Nedney

Language fits over experience like a straight-jacket.

William G. Golding

Scoring the first 11 points straight was a huge advantage, especially in Madison. We know both teams were going to come out hard with this being (the possibility) of their last game and all, so we were just happy to get hot right away.

Tim Jarmusz

Every coach says it but if you can't make your free throws, you're not going to win games. At one point, we missed five straight or six. If we make four or five of those, the basketball game could have been different.

Diane Foli

I don't think anybody's panicking, because it can't go up in a straight line forever. It's probably a healthy blow-off of steam, and it's not surprising that it's occurring on a Friday.

Ryan Wibberley

The coldest of the air associated with this front is going to slide off to the southeast, so it's not going to drop straight south into Texas.

Mark Lenz

We were well and truly beaten last season but the lads will be determined to put the record straight tonight.

Gez Baggott

Right now, it's pretty much a straight shot and it washes those contaminants down into Silver Bow Creek. If we create these pool habitats that are normally so good for fish, we could potentially see selenium and cyanide levels rise as contaminated sediment settles out.

Josh Vincent

They're really capitalizing on the weather. They've been working every day straight since Jan. 3.

Tom Shockley

It's energetic and very high off the ground. Some styles of step dancing in Canada are close to the ground. They're rhythmic, but there isn't a lot of lifting and jumping and hopping. But in the Ottawa Valley style, we don't stand straight and there's a lot of flailing around.

April Verch

You always want to win, no matter who you're playing. I'm happy for them, but we came in here trying to win our second straight state title. It leaves a bitter taste.

Casey Riddle

I think the students will adjust to it very quickly. Faculty members that have been here won't get used to it until we retire, but we'll just have to keep our heads screwed on straight.

Michael Beals

They're pretty simple. They don't have a lot of fancy gingerbread details. Everything is straight and flat and usually one-story.

Jane Powell

We made some adjustments on our press in the second half and played straight man. We tweaked our the high-low. It was good to be able to show them some things at halftime and actually have them come out and execute it.

Jared Gobel

The earnings story is good and is likely to remain very good, and the economic conditions are likely to remain supportive. It's certainly not going to go straight up beyond this period, but I think we're about two-thirds of the way through this correction.

Charles Blood

Make no mistake, this was discussed straight after the race and it was decided Jana and I would approach officials.

Tamsyn Lewis

When I grew up in the '60s, your hair had to be straight and you had to be skinny and have no boobs, and it was like not my era.

Bernadette Peters

Our team came out strong. (We) had our heads on straight and we were focused, just ready to come out and play.

Nikki Davis

I want to pay credit to them because they brought it to us. We loved it pretty much straight away and we thought it was funny. That was what stood out for us.

Brad Lyons

The instrumentation was a little different. A little more experimental this time. We had saxophone and trumpet and strings and piano. The other two (albums) I've done are more straight-up singer/songwriter. The others were real story songs and these were more poetic-slash-story songs.

Adam Carroll

We just came from the UK, the collective countries, and we flew straight into another UK.

Dan Marsala

There no longer is a straight career path in the entertainment business. Actors want to be singers, singers want to be actors - and they all want to be race car drivers.

Leeann Tweeden

That's the second straight game he's been like that, and I have no answer for it. We just came out tonight with no intensity, and you can't do that against a team like George County.

Johnny Olsen

Both players saw something different. I would have to agree ... that the only person who can really see straight down the line is the person who hit the ball. Paula believes what she believes and is a true competitor. It's not that she would want to be in someone's face. She just wants to make sure things are done right.

Lorie Kane

We thought that the facts where simple and fairly straight forward. We felt that this was a clear case and we thought that they defrauded us. It took us two days to put our case just because of the amount of people to call upon.

Geoffrey Harper

My upbringing kept me on a straight path.

Ralph Molina

I can remember Thomas in the fourth or fifth grade saying, 'I'm going to play in the NFL some day,' ... They were both straight-A students. They were focused, worked hard in school and worked hard to get where they are today. It's just a great story.

Barry Jones

I think the legacy is what it is. We've won 14 straight [division titles]. We know how special that is. We're going to keep doing our thing whether we win or lose in the postseason. It's not going to change the fact that we've won 14 straight division titles.

Chipper Jones

If the father is not straight naider will be the son.

Rod Stewart

I am a really bad test taker. I can get straight As in school, but I get nervous on test.

Mary kate Olsen

Straight edge is depending on yourself and no one else. Religion should be relying on yourself and not relying on other people to tell you how to do things.

Ben Crickenberger

For nine straight sessions foreign brokers placed net selling orders. There were concerns about how long selling by foreign investors would last.

Yasuo Yabe

I've always performed classical ballet so I've never been challenged like this. (African dance) is very different. In ballet we're always thinking about holding our arms out straight and being in an up position. You're more grounded with African movements - moving your arms very differently - it's all about being down in the earth.

Sarah Hairston

I know all of the players respect him. He's been around for a while. He knows what he's doing. Nothing against Miley, he did everything he could, but the communication level wasn't there and nobody know what was going on, nobody could get an answer. On the flip side, Jerry will tell you straight-up whether you like it or not and that's all a player can ask for.

Ryan Freel

This episode goes into the homes of real families to show that gay and lesbian couples make the same kinds of commitments that straight couples make. These stories show the stark difference in how our government treats same-sex couples, who, without the protections that married couples enjoy, are often left in the cold at times when they are at their most vulnerable.

Matt Coles

I think my day started at 2 a.m. when I heard the wind blowing, along with everybody else. All of my years coming here, I never really felt wind like that at night. So I knew it was going to be a tough day. It's all crosswinds. There are very few holes straight into the wind or downwind.

Jeff Sluman

He's very straight forward, very laid back. He's not going to yell and scream at you. And at this level, most of athletes don't respond well to an overbearing coach. He has a lot of information, a good eye. He's not going to upset you. He's just going to give you the plain truth. And that is what we all need.

Adam Nelson

We were pretty rusty. It's the fourth straight game the other team scored first but at least we came back in the first.

Mike Cowan

It takes time. But it's a straight-forward process.

John Chapman

I didn't have an update on the radio, ... There may have been some problem so I really didn't see [Webber]. By the time I realised, it was just down the straight, so I'm really sorry for that.

Takuma Sato

The fun thing is no one knows what's straight from your life.

Barbara Grosh

We've played in sleet a few times on the European tour, but Europe is not this bad. We never have weather like this for eight straight weeks.

Retief Goosen

The steps we took to make it safe were effective. It was standing straight and tall when we returned.

Ronnie Chappell

I don't know about companies; I'm sure big companies like that can be complicated. But I would find it difficult to believe that he's a chameleon who changes when it comes to business. I know he's a straight guy.

Marvin Hier

We're playing four straight at home, and it's exciting to play in front of big crowds. We just have to keep getting better now that we're playing games at a higher level like this week. We're really looking forward to it.

Lindsay Bowen

The team put forth a courageous run with a couple of huge wins in the postseason. We had a lot of fun winning two straight league championships, and we owe a lot of that to the seniors, who have sacrificed a lot to get us here.

Herb Grace

The first one was probably a foul, I had my arms around him. The second one I stuck my hands straight up and he jumped into me.

Matt Sylvester

Cutting the space budget really restores my faith in humanity. It eliminates dreams, goals, and ideals and lets us get straight to the business of hate, debauchery, and self-annihilation.

Johnny Hart

He caught fire and hit some balls harder than I've seen in 25 years. He was playing like a big leaguer for 16 straight days and got his confidence going.

Bob Mariano

If he can keep his head straight, he can have a very successful career as a filmmaker. He can be one of the few guys to have longevity and really make an impact on this business.

Joseph Kahn

It sucked our hair straight up. I'm here to tell you, whoever did that movie 'Twister' has got it down.

Kathy Martin

I told Walker to just hit the rim on his last foul shot because I said there was no way [Moon] could get off a shot. But Walsh got off a shot and I'm going 'Oh no, it's going right in.' It was straight on. It just hit the net.

Andy Schulz

That which is crooked cannot be made straight and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.

Ecclesiastes

I find it hard to take straight fantasy, as I don't believe in magic or the occult, and hard SF leaves me cold because I don't like reading pages and pages of science or scientific extrapolation at the expense of characters and emotion.

Eric Brown

You always feel when you look it straight in the eye that you could have put more into it, could have let yourself go and dug harder.

Emily Carr

Lindsey got so mad that she went straight up to him and pushed him. She stood up to him.

Emma Homberg

A bee is two and half centimeters long with a brain the size of a large peppercorn. Yet they can fly 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) away from the hive to forage and then make a straight line home. How do they do that?

Elizabeth Capaldi

We see that goal as more important than ever: To create a space where LGBT people and our straight allies can come together to view diverse representations of ourselves outside of the mainstream, explore our similarities and our differences, build community and celebrate our lives.

Elizabeth Burden

Choosing somebody who is not a judge would put that much more of a premium on straight answers to questions because there would be that much less for senators and the public to go on when looking at such a nominee's judicial philosophy.

Elliot Mincberg

After disco, there really was a change. Generally, there were no more straight-up-Southern blues-rooted sounds on top of the pop charts.

Elijah Wald

Wendy is coming to Utah straight from international racing. Her experience of competing at a high level and her experience as a female role model in the sport will be invaluable.

Eli Brown

We could have very easily lost in two, but I thought we battled and we had a lot of fun. We laughed about the play where there was nobody up (to block) and Rachel dug (a straight-down spike by Walsh) off her boobs.

Elaine Youngs

He (Rowland) is really a favorite in this community. He is performing straight off a tour in Spain so we are really lucky that he can fit us into his schedule.

Eileen Wilson

Some people are kind of themselves, and some people are straight-up actors that can meld into a lot of different parts.

Edward Furlong

Sometimes when my feet are slow, my throw (to first base) isn't good. But when I move my feet, the throw is straight every time.

Edwin Encarnacion

Imagine a vast sheet of paper on which straight Lines, Triangles, Squares, Pentagons, Hexagons, and other figures, instead of remaining fixed in their places, move freely about, on or in the surface, but without the power of rising above or sinking below it, very much like shadows - only hard with luminous edges - and you will then have a pretty correct notion of my country and countrymen.

Edwin Abbott Abbott

The lightning went straight into them and killed them instantly.

Eduardo Suarez

She has a straight 4.0 average and is an outstanding lady.

Edith Thompson

A lot of people call it temper, but I'd like to see the record straight. It's just how I play. I hate to lose. I'm trying to get every loose ball, play hard on every possession.

Edgar Sosa

It sounded like an old B-52 bomber taking off. I looked out the window, and the flagpole was bent over and the flag was sticking straight out.

Ed Gardner

Joe was the one who had the most apparent skills in dealing with local people and being the guy that knows how to talk to people on the land. He's just a heck of a nice guy with plenty of common sense. He's plain spoken and straight-up honest and that's what we needed.

Ed Bangs

What is a good performance? It lies in the hands and head of a performer... the shortest way between two people is not a straight line.

Earle Brown

The straight galleys are done to maximize space. They're fine at the dock. And being fundamentally antisocial, I don't care if my back's to the crowd. But from a practical user standpoint while under way, I can't really get used to them.

Ed Sherman

It was just a straight man-to-man press, but Warren has such quick and strong players that they can get on top of you and stay there. We haven't seen that kind of quickness before. We needed to hit more of our outside shots to compensate, and that didn't happen.

Ed Sennett

She's the type that when she got hurt, she went straight to physical therapy getting it better, and she never missed a practice.

Earl Fountain

Even if a minefield or the abyss should lie before me, I will march straight ahead without looking back.

Zhu Rongji

He enlisted and went on to fight in World War II and fight for civil rights at home, when he got back, ... He had a whole, rich life, full of passion and purpose. He died surrounded by a lot of people who loved him; it's pretty much a straight-up American dream.

Ethan Hawke

We needed the win. It'll help us build some confidence and get out heads on straight.

Zach Coe

I do not see any dark clouds on the horizon for Microsoft. I think it's straight shooting, straight up.

Esther Schreiber

(Snider) had a good game and made their shots. We came out a little slow. We have lost two straight to them, but that just gives us motivation to play them in the playoffs.

Eshaunte Jones

Nineteen straight wins kind of speaks for itself as far as mystique. That's a special stadium.

Eric Sanders

Just because you're totally acoustic doesn't mean you have to play old music. We're straight-ahead but not dated, ... Besides, if the lights go out, you can still hear the band.

Ernie Watts

I knew where I was going before (I took the shot). Right when the whistle blew, I knew that it was going to be a goal. I got the ball, put it down as fast as I could and I heard commotion going on all around. I just stayed focused and new where I was going. The goalie got straight, but I put enough on it to slip it by.

Eric Masi

It's the second straight night we have had a lot of opportunities and haven't been able to capitalize. But if we keep pounding away, hopefully we'll be able to break through. We're in as good a situation as we could have hoped.

Eric Karros

The hike is brutal, straight-out pure cardio pain. There's nothing great about that.

Erik Skarvan

It'll be a true test of how much we really love each other, squeezed into a van and driving for 6-8 hours a day, 12 days straight. From there, we plan on taking over the world.

Erik Heimann
