It was no surprise at all. Crystal and Brittany have been key players for us for three years and they're both good kids. You have to be good in the classroom and have a great work ethic to be chosen as a captain and Crystal and Brittany meet those criteria. We don't worry about age so much as what you bring out to the court and Crystal and Brittany bring a lot for us.

Randy Mcclure

It's been a struggle to find that next evolution of comedy. Earl was our highest-testing show in 15 years, which was kind of a surprise. But we definitely need cutting-edge comedies like that.

Kevin Reilly

It wouldn't surprise me if they stayed here long-term.

Scott Neal

That's where the majority of the growth is, so it's no surprise.

Dave Loveland

We entered her in the 800 but we didn't have anyone in the mile and she stepped up and said she's run it. She came in second. It was a pleasant surprise.

Jenna Bond

With the US new home sales proving to be a positive surprise, traders who are still holding short dollar positions are likely to continue adjusting their positions this week.

Daisuke Uno

I was thinking I would surprise these guys and get a big enough lead that they couldn't catch me. I didn't stay as focused the last 400 meters. I was out in front on my own for so long, I sort of lulled myself to sleep.

Alan Webb

This is a great surprise and a great pleasure. Any one of these books could have won. To my colleagues I say just hang around and it will come. I have hung around for many years.

John Banville

In hindsight, it's really no surprise. MCI wants to cry as loudly as possible that the local markets aren't open to competition.

Barry Sine

After the groundhog, they predicted a more mild winter. The storm took me by surprise.

Darrell Smith

Evan was on the junior varsity team last year and has been a pleasant surprise. He is quick, determined and plays good defense. Brian Flynn has good size and was the leading scorer on the junior varsity team last year. Brian Lenox is raw, but is quick and persistent and knows how to finish.

Dick Nyman

I don't think it's a big surprise to anyone who knows me that I would be interested.

Wes Hand

To judge from our betting, it appears that Cheltenham being called off took everyone by surprise.

Tony Calvin

The report was a pretty significant upside surprise, both in the overall read and prices paid component. That certainly confirms that the Fed is likely to raise rates by another quarter-percentage point in November, for anyone who was not sure about that.

Jim Dunigan

The action comes as quite a surprise, to both us and the company.

Michael Weinstein

The security for this is incredible. It's taken me by surprise, actually.

Robert Skinner

The biggest surprise was how he (George Washington) was so dependent on her companionship that he was eager to have her join him when he was away from home.

Patricia Brady

I was mostly surprised by the rap artists, actually, that were influenced by Sabbath. That was a surprise. But it's very nice and I'm very honored. It's nice to know after 27 years now that what I said in the first place has stuck, and that was the belief in it.

Tony Iommi

We were predicting it but it probably caught people by surprise since it's been so long since we had snow.

Paul Head

Any time you get a person who comes in here with the right head on his shoulders, the right attitude, with the willingness to want to learn and become the best, it's not a surprise to me [when he produces]. What I know of Mike, he's got great character, and I think that speaks for itself.

Paul Grasmanis

Our goal was to make the playoffs. Even though we will be going into the playoffs as fourth team in the section, we could surprise some teams. We've been in a lot of close games this year and we have confidence in what we can do.

Jawaan Alston

It's a pleasant surprise, ... Mike was instrumental as a turnaround player at Motorola. This is what Nortel really needed.

Mark Sue

We protested and appealed to let our cameras in, but Scalia won and we were kept out, ... Albany is a political town, too, and this shouldn't come as a surprise.

Brian Lamb

I never thought I would even be considered for such a prestigious award. It came as a complete surprise. I am absolutely thrilled.

Sarah Thompson

Overall, the positive earnings surprise will be well received by investors, but the outlook for the company remains uncertain.

Jeff Stinson

It's nothing that we didn't expect and haven't prepared for. It's not like any of this is a surprise. We've been expecting it. We've been preparing for it. We have what we believe will be sufficient staffing.

Keith Bridges

Cy-Fair has always had a good wrestling club system. It didn't surprise me they have gotten so strong.

Aaron Baker

It's been a pleasant surprise. We only lost one senior, and our pitching has been solid.

Brandon Miller

It's a total surprise. But I don't have any concerns about the product.

Ann Miller

The surprise happens as you experience the building. This is clearly a reason why we thought Mr. Ando was the appropriate person for our landscape here.

Michael Conforti

My love for the theater has always been a priority. That hasn't changed. I got into acting that way. The film work that came up was really a surprise.

Philip Seymour Hoffman

Doesn't surprise me in the least.

Mark Glyptis

Technology is a big part of it. The really unprecedented example to me is 'The War Tapes' [directed by Deborah Scranton], in which the soldiers themselves are making the film, showing what is going on and what they're going through. You can sense the dissatisfaction among the soldiers. After that, the [recent] news that generals are criticizing the war plan doesn't come as a big surprise.

Peter Scarlet

If we get a downside surprise in retail sales, everybody will shrug it off. We all know that April was a bad month for the economy; the markets are really geared toward May.

Lara Rhame

It comes as a surprise to no one that after decades of internal and international conflict, Iraq is littered with land mines and bombs.

Joe Donahue

Investors are saying to themselves that the uncertainty over the election is already priced into the euro and now it's time to buy. A coalition is not going to be much of a surprise now.

Neil Jones

I was 20 and was really taken by surprise. So, I try to stay away from everything because I know how crazy it is.

Maxime Ouellet

It's always a surprise to get bid prices. Things may be changing if the private sector is slowing down. We'll find out.

Steve Serbati

I feel comfortable with any one of them. We have a lot of guys returning. Hopefully, we can surprise some people this year.

Brian Wojtun

It would be a big surprise if the ruling coalition didn't get a majority.

Masaaki Kanno

The employment growth was slightly higher than anticipated, so it's a slight pleasant surprise.

Stephen Halmarick

I just don't see any upside surprise in terms of a second half recovery.

Robert Barbera

You can only surprise teams when you feel you are not supposed to or cannot defeat teams. And we expect to compete and win.

Mike Sweitzer

It has all the signs of a hostile bid, and for investors it has come as a bit of surprise. I would expect this to go on for some time, and looking at the stock prices of the two companies, it seems there is more in it for investors.

Guy Hutchings

Never was heard such a terrible curse ! ! / But what gave rise / To no little surprise, / Nobody seemed one penny the worse!

Rev. R. H. Barham

In terms of timing, David's departure has come as a little bit of a surprise.

Steve Lewis

A number of ideas are planned, and part of what we're trying to create will take the user by surprise.

Jim Bankoff

The market thinks the U.S. economy will be stronger than they thought a few months ago. That's been the big surprise.

David Goldman

[BBC Three succeeded BBC Four as the non-terrestrial channel of the year, with notable hits in comedy and drama.] This is such a surprise, ... Special thanks to my boss, Jana, [who has] created an atmosphere at the BBC that embraces risk.

Stuart Murphy

It was a surprise seeing (Dukes) in their starting lineup. We didn't have much on him. People will now. You're gonna have to factor him in when you prepare for Wake Forest.

Barclay Radebaugh

I wanna change the whole perception of rap. That's why I come in here looking like this. I wanna surprise 'em.

David Banner

He was fine over the weekend. He was fine when he left on Monday morning to go to the office. He went to the office early because he said he had a lot of work to do. But I wasn't concerned over anything. This took me by surprise.

Jane Power

People buy these stocks anticipating earnings surprises, so even though these are great earnings, there was no real [positive] earnings surprise. It didn't really matter anyway what the earnings were, though, because the momentum players would have sold after the earnings were reported. They buy on the rumor, sell on the news.

Glenn Engel

With solid fuel, the missiles can be launched more quickly. The surprise element increases and they are much more difficult to defend against.

Daniel Pinkston

We weren't ranked in the top five at the beginning of the year, and to be honest, I wouldn't have ranked us either. Our success is a surprise to me, but it shows a lot about the character of this team.

Bryan Sabato

It's not a surprise to find a designer suit label that is probably in the realm of $2,000 to $3,000, depending on where it's made and what fabric it's made from. We can also go into a typical mall today and find that a guy can put together a casual pants, shirt and tie for probably $100.

Tom Julian

Beat the U.S.? It would be the biggest win in the history of sports in Chile after the Olympics. Especially playing on grass, playing the U.S. They have three top-10 (players) in the world, the No. 1 doubles in the world. Can you imagine? It would be a big surprise. It would be a big event in Chile if we beat them.

Hans Gildemeister

That was a surprise because if we see a special defense, it's usually a box-and-one on Ashleigh. It was frustrating and hard to get open. Now I know how Ashleigh feels sometimes. But now that I've been in her shoes, I see how important it is for us to set good screens to get her open.

Katy Miller

Chris always has surprises up his sleeve, so it may not be just B.B. playing. There may be some other people who show up and surprise us.

Liz Harrison

The biggest surprise was that our offense just didn't get it done. We had runners on in innings one through nine. We just didn't get the key hits we needed.

Pat Bloom

We know we're not going surprise anybody this year. That's good and bad. It makes us play knowing that we can't have one letdown the whole journey.

Mark Gainforth

This shouldn't be a big surprise.

Richard Shim

It took me by surprise that a team with such tradition as the Dodgers would consider me. I'm going with an open mind as if the job was mine. The Dodgers are equal to baseball, so I feel proud to be considered to be their manager.

Manny Acta

After the season, ... when you stop and look at the numbers and look at everything, I'm not going to lie and say it didn't surprise me [not to make the Pro Bowl]. After it was all over and I stopped to look at it. I said, 'Damn.' But I guess that goes to show that I'm still not respected, and people have formed a certain opinion about me. Now I'm a one-year wonder. That's why I keep working.

Cornelius Griffin

Nortel's results had one big surprise. Optical revenue declined sequentially. Ouch! Optics is Nortel's growth engine and it has been growing at over 20 percent sequentially in previous quarters.

Tom Astle

This builds confidence going into the Big 12 tournament; maybe we can surprise some people.

Whitney Law

We may have caught them by surprise the first time. We know they're going to be a lot more focused to what's going on. They're going to be ready for us, so we have to play that much harder.

Thomas Davis

When we got the lead, it was a surprise for the American team.

Arturs Irbe

I think we're going to surprise a lot of people this year. We're going to have a lot more speed than we've had in the past and we're deep in the midfield. On offense we're going to use our same game plan ? control the ball.

Ken Budd

It doesn't surprise me that he's back. It doesn't matter if he's hurting. He sucks it up. He's a soldier.

Jason Ferguson

We were Cinderella last year; now everybody knows about us. There's no surprise. It's kind of funny. We never get attention during the year and during tournament time, we are the favorite. How is that possible?

Joah Tucker

Everything has to be done to find out exactly where the virus came from, since it would be a big surprise to find it in South America.

Joseph Domenech

My reaction is one of huge surprise, and in taking the few words that have been given to us about his reasons, you have to respect them and wish him all the best.

Gareth Edwards

I continue to be encouraged. Companies continue to surprise on earnings, this earnings season has been very good.

Robert Howe

It is a surprise to win in the National Games. It's my honor to compete with Olympic champions and world champions. I am so lucky today.

Ali Naimi

They were all lined up anyway. It's no surprise.

Alex Segura

There has been only one confirmed sighting of a right whale in the Gulf of Alaska since 1980, so discovering them is not only surprising, it is fairly significant. We picked up the sounds of one whale off Kodiak Island, and several others in deep water, which is also something of a surprise, since most right whale sightings have been near-shore.

David K. Mellinger

A musical opens and everything is a surprise when the audience comes in. What you have to do is get used to knowing what to do - and do it quickly.

Peter Stone

This was a surprise to us, since most people assumed that you don't get periodontal problems until you are age 35 or 40. We found it's more prevalent than anyone believed at a much younger age than anyone had thought.

Raymond White

It doesn't surprise me. A few clubs have looked at him. He's six foot four and he's top drawer. But we've offered him a professional contract and we want to keep him here.

Keith Alexander

I've always avoided a 'fixed' show that repeated the same thing every night, ... I'm glad that the Las Vegas Hilton and 'Music & Passion' have given us all the chance to surprise the audience every night. And over the next 150 shows, there'll be lots of surprises!

Barry Manilow

He (Thornton) didn't surprise us. He got his hands on a lot of balls in practice.

Shawntae Spencer

He was a pleasant surprise last year. They said his bat was not that good, and he did an outstanding job for us. Defensively, he's good. He plays the game hard, he's a smart kid. I think he's got a chance (to play for the Devil Rays).

Charlie Montoyo

We like to kidnap them in a van, and leave them somewhere dangerous. SURPRISE!

Gerard Way

It would be a pleasant surprise if he could play next year.

Steve Mullins

(Being cut) definitely did surprise me. I thought I played well in the preseason. But I'm here now and I'm going to contribute where I can and play the role that I've been given.

Ben Steele

It (the grant) was a very good surprise. We felt we had a very good chance, but I think it was our mutual aid agreement with the towns in Franklin County that made us stand out.

Sarah Doscinski

We've seen higher inflation in the course of this year than perhaps was anticipated last year when wage deals were negotiated, ... Consequently that's eroded household purchasing power, and we've actually seen very sluggish consumer demand - which has been a big surprise.

Peter Dixon

The biggest surprise for me is that we thought we would be selling stock within two years.

Jos Delgado

My original projections were for us to do about $2 million the first year and maybe $4 million the second. Toyota wasn't even on the horizon when we first started planning to come to San Antonio. That was another surprise.

Joe Davis

I am surprised at the number of kids who are leaving the school. That did surprise me. We don't know if we can ever resolve that particular problem.

Howard Lee

This type of thing doesn't really surprise us, and it's not something we're not already prepared for.

Ron Reier

The GDP figure was within our estimates and there was no surprise there. That lack of surprise may have prompted profit- taking.

Tsuyoshi Shimizu

As long as the current upward momentum remains intact, it would not be a surprise if the dollar moves to test the 120-yen level.

Takashi Kudo

While there's no excuse for this scandal, it is no surprise that Boston, a seat of academic, political and cultural liberalism in America, lies at the center of the storm.

Rick Santorum

It does not surprise me that we are seeing those job losses. Certainly what happened in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and with gas prices increasing last summer, we should be revising the figures downward a little bit.

Robert Eyler

Sometimes a self-sown flower will surprise me. I may have thought I didn't want anything there, but when they start to bloom, I'm enchanted.

Renee Shepherd

The numbers weren't that big a surprise. It's just that investors are very cautious about high-techs at the moment and sensitive to anything that sounds negative.

Toshihiko Matsuno

If one compares the amount of money we have spent on the promotion of fruits and vegetable consumption to the amount of money we spent on more general food advertising, it's hardly a surprise we haven't changed the needle on fruit and vegetable consumption.

William Dietz

We expect seasonally normal PC demand and a richer product mix to drive a positive first quarter earnings surprise. PC demand should accelerate in the second half of 2000, (driven by) a strong economy, Windows 2000 and a sharp increase in microprocessor price performance.

Mark Edelstone

Nothing in the result was a surprise so it (share price fall) could just be tipping off the market's weakness.

Tony Gordon

It wouldn't surprise me if these guys made a run in the tournament. We've got nine seniors. I wish I would have come in two, three years ago and been with these guys for awhile.

Jacob Gruse

You always have a think about it (captaining) but there were always players who were there for longer. It's a big surprise to me.

Mark Viduka

I am on day-one of my journey of what's going to happen to 'Avenue Q' next. I know, like the show, it will be delightful and surprise people.

Kevin Mccollum

This is quite a surprise.

Xia Zhang

In our view it was a rather positive surprise. At least it gives the ECB some leeway to remain on hold over the summer months, but over the medium term it still suggests that they will bring up interest rates further.

Manuela Preuschl

Being as everyone's picking us last, we'll surprise some people. If we finish last, we'll surprise ourselves.

George Sherrill

The market is saying what we're not going to get is a surprise in terms of rates -- we're not going to get some cuts because of storm-damage problems.

Luke Waddington

I'm sure that will surprise some people.

Selvin Young

That doesn't surprise me. We have been scoring quicker this year, and our improved passing game leads to short drives.

Bob Howard

That was a surprise. She's [Richmond is] a talented player, and give her a little bit of space, and she'll hit it. It sure came quick.

Donato Gonzales

It was a surprise to learn just how few physicians use gold-standard practices in their testing. Only a small number actually knew which drugs are detectable on a routine urine drug-test screening panel, and what substances can cause false-positive screens.

Dr. Sharon Levy

It wouldn't surprise me if a few acts don't come to either Australia or just to Melbourne because Rod Laver Arena isn't available.

Michael Gudinski

I don't think they knew that they were going to get this far. And I don't even think they know I play for Gulf, so pretty much I'm going to surprise them.

Dominique English

He was a very passionate kid, and he was always one of our fittest players. And so it certainly doesn't surprise me he is pursuing playing professionally.

Rudy Fuller

This was because of high oil prices and a weak euro. It was a surprise, but it doesn't offer as many new insights [about the economy].

Manuela Preuschl

It's a good experience. I was surprise last time at just how engaged and well-educated on the issue the congressmen were. I thought of the hearings as something being just for show. I got the feeling everyone was taking it quite seriously. It was a challenging and educational experience. It's good that they're doing these kinds of things.

Michael Ramsey

I was absolutely unaware and least expecting it. The award was a big surprise. Now I feel proud and happy for myself and our country too.

Sonali Kulkarni

I was shocked. I went in with no expectations. It was a complete surprise.

Paulette Graham

Being happy is something you have to learn. I often surprise myself by saying "Wow, this is it. I guess I'm happy. I got a home I love. A career that I love. I'm even feeling more and more at peace with myself." If there's something else to happiness, let me know. I'm ambitious for that, too.

Harrison Ford

It doesn't surprise me that this conflict is coming to a head, given the old-boy mentality that still pervades over there. They are still in a bit of a honeymoon period. Everybody knows the transition from a clubby atmosphere to being a public company isn't going to be easy. I think people are willing to cut them some slack for a little while, but that's not going to last for long.

Harrell Smith

The magnitude of the surprise was bigger than most people were expecting, ... Earnings and revenue were driven by proprietary trading and M&A activity and its role as prime broker and clearinghouse for hedge funds.

Tim Woolston

The response doesn't surprise me. It is a long survey and most people don't want to take the time to fill it out.

Gary Vest

It's no surprise to us that Cousin Rosa is being honored in Pensacola because she championed a cause for people everywhere.

Carolyn Green

I've got a temper that every so often can come up and surprise me ...

Barry Otto

That doesn't surprise me because Shane's a good wrestler. He just finally got his grades together and got it going. He helped us out a lot.

Dan Knight

He aspires to sign by the end of the summer, but it depends on the situation. We want the best fit for him. I do know that whatever team lucky enough to sign him is going to be in for a big surprise. They are going to get a steal.

Blair Pruette

The girls have been feuding for months. That's not a surprise to anyone. We've prepared for that. We've built that reality into our production plan.

Chris Alexander

It was a bit of a surprise, he hadn't talked to me about it.

Mark Waugh

I was caught by surprise a little bit. He made the decision. I guess it's better for the program. I guess it's better for him.

Taylor Griffin

That's been actually a pleasant surprise for us this spring. Those guys have done a nice job for us competing.

Jeff Choate

The 30-year is a bit of a surprise, but it follows the other sovereigns that have managed 30 years in Asia, including Indonesia recently.

Dilip Parameswaran

I had always assumed that Alan was done with TV. I thought he was going to do movies, so we didn't even try. Then he read this book and said, 'I want to do this.' It was really a beautiful surprise.

Carolyn Strauss

Being used so much is a surprise. I was planning on playing a little more baseball. When I started playing, I had to focus more on basketball.

Brett Casey

Bill comes off the wall just to come off the wall; Walton I've known forever. Steve is more of a coach analyzing the game, but still has a good sense of humor, which serves him well. He's been a very pleasant surprise.

Brent Musburger

I didn't know until yesterday that my pumps wouldn't go over $2.99. It caught us by surprise.

Warren Miller

The figures are good. Debt financing is especially strong, so that is a positive surprise.

Pierre Flabbee

Wow, what a game. That game didn't surprise me one bit. It was a typical Jeff Davis-Carver game.

Terry Posey

Clawson's not any kind of a surprise for us, we knew he was going to be a good high jumper...and he did well for us on the 4x400 meter relay. Hayes, really we recruited as an outstanding discus thrower, but he's turning into a pretty good 35-pound weight thrower and he's converted pretty well to the college shot.

Russ Jewett

Anything but a rate hike at the next meeting (on March 2) would be a surprise.

Michael Schubert

He's like night and day right now. It just takes a while to get acclimated to the system. His accuracy is much improved. He's going to surprise a lot of people.

James Walton

It was a small but positive surprise.

Stefan Bielmeier

It's not a surprise. It's something we have really improved in. He (Adami) could possibly reach 50-feet this year.

Dan Winzenried

I was shocked, ... I just didn't see him as a politician. I know he always saw me as being political, so it was a surprise to see him in that position.

Virg Bernero

We ended up probably with 30 additional rooms filled that were storm-related. I think it caught everybody by surprise. That was strange.

Bill Putnam

All three of them are competitive kids and they have always been successful players. Brendan wasn't a surprise, I have seen what he could do for the past couple of years. Sometimes sophomores come up to varsity and have trouble adjusting right away but he has really been a good player for us.

Dan Ariola

I think they're great. I don't know if that's a surprise to anybody.

Bob Stoops

It's not much of a surprise that the job has been given to him. Pretty much since Day 1 on the job a couple of weeks ago, he's been working on that file.

David Akin

To our surprise, we found that treatment with it suppresses food intake. It could have potential as an appetite-suppressing drug, by injection. Or it might be possible to deliver by nasal spray. It also allows us to screen for new drugs that might suppress appetite.

Aaron Hsueh

She is such an exciting player offensively and defensively. The thing we were unsure about, the thing that's been such a surprise, is her defense.

Kelly Curry

It doesn't surprise me -- gold is facing some big problems.

Peter Ward

Will surprise even the most studied and learned cartoonist.

James Sturm

This is a sad day for Congressman DeLay's constituents in the 22nd District, who deserve so much better from their elected representative but unfortunately, it should come as no surprise.

Nick Lampson

The surprise was that imports remained elevated and that the improvement was due to a large rise in exports, with the latter reflecting a rise in both rural and non-rural.

Adam Donaldson

He has been so upset since we got here. I'm so surprised that he ran this well. He started out in a stall that was facing the racetrack, and all the excitement just had him so unsettled. He was way off his grain, but obviously not all the way off it. He just never seemed to settle down. To have him run this well is a very nice surprise.

Bill Spawr

It's a little bit of a surprise. I didn't really hear too much heading in as to who was interested, so I was just kind of on the edge of my seat the whole time as to where I'd end up. But I'm excited.

Nathan Sturgis

He was always pretty intense. It wouldn't surprise me if this happens again at some point in his career.

Stephen Lacy

He's been a pleasant surprise. He's a warrior inside. He does everything really hard.

Tom Kenna

You'll click a button and get to hear the Austin audience reacting to the film for the first time. You'll hear what took them by surprise, made them gasp. It's gonna be really cool.

Robert Rodriguez

The results are no surprise. They are similar to the results of another survey the MDOT did in 1994. What we see in Wiscasset are seasonal surges of traffic congestion that basically make the road non-functional. That's why the bypass was conceived.

Brandon Jones

He was a great guy, a great guy to work with. He was a wonderful husband and father. In that sense, it wouldn't surprise me that he would do something that was selfless.

Steve Singer

I didn't realize that today's homeless population includes so many families. They've lost their homes and have nowhere to go. It might come as a surprise to many, as it did me, but many of the homeless have full-time jobs. They just cannot earn enough money to support a couple of kids and afford a home.

Mike Irwin

It's definitely a surprise. But it's the kind of surprise we like.

John Frey

Whenever death may surprise us, let it be welcome if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.

Che Guevara

I think the pace of the game, because of the new rules, caught a lot of veterans like Steve by surprise. He clearly didn't have the jump, and when you can't get around the ice, you will lack in confidence.

Darren Pang

I had no idea. Does it surprise you at all? It does surprise me.

Thomas Rogers

It was quite a surprise. We are on that bank all the time. We have kids and dogs.

Debbie Ritter

Kyle Hendrickson is going to be a great surprise. When he ran the four-by-four and open 800, most kids just lose it the first time on a track. He looked strong in the final 200.

Gary Heide

The gentleman lived right behind me and I heard nothing all night. It was another quiet evening. It's a surprise to all of us in Summerfield.

Douglas Akres

It wasn't a total surprise. He kind of put it out there as an option (to) see how I liked it out there. That's how it started, and now I am there, permanently.

Darrell Blackman

It's a little bit different, but I think we're going in with the same mentality. Last year was a great team, but I think this one can surprise some people, too.

Jordan Davis

The increase in commercial crude (stocks) came as a surprise.

Naohiro Niimura

The record doesn't surprise me, but we haven't been as dominant as last year. We're still trying to figure out what it takes to win.

Matt Hurlock

Meg hitting that shot didn't surprise me. Not at all. We kind of expect it.

Katie Sibley

The name of the game seems to be domestic revenues. That's where all the surprise is.

Glenn Engel

It's part of the buzz of the city among Christians. It wouldn't surprise me that it got to George Bush. He reads, he picks stuff up, he talks to people. And he's pretty serious about his own Christian beliefs.

Charles W. Colson

I'm looking for someone to step up and surprise me. The last two meets I've been surprised. You never know what these kids can do ... some are spotlight people and they perform when the lights are on.

Pat Nepple

The market has got short dollars. Yesterday we saw a spike up in euro/dollar. That took into account the bombings in Turkey and things of that nature. That was the big surprise in terms of geopolitics so other news we have had today hasn't really impacted the market significantly.

Bilal Hafeez

He didn't take us by surprise, but I didn't expect him to shoot the ball as well as he did. We were focusing on [other guys] as their scorers. [Coleman] had a few nice backdoor cuts and a couple [two] three-pointers that made a difference. He did a good job of running that team and he played very well.

Larry Harrison

The discovery of gas under the eastern portion came as a real surprise.

Luke Serpa

When we thought about playing for the gold medal, in our heads our vision was always playing against the Americans. It was definitely a surprise. They've been a great team. But it's also an exciting game for Sweden.

Jayna Hefford

Jason or Barry Bonds, you don't want them to hit a homer. As a team, you want him to be on base, and sometimes, they'll surprise you. Barry Bonds, he doesn't want to bunt, but you never know.

Miguel Cairo

While it's a bit of a surprise, the slightly downbeat news on confidence can be explained by the ongoing weakness in employment, and perhaps consumers are a little concerned about the backup in mortgage rates. But while they're becoming less confident, they're still buying -- the latest sales numbers still look good.

Douglas Porter

We're going to go to our strengths, and we are going to go inside. It's no surprise to anybody what we're going to do, and we're going to keep doing it.

Kathy Lanter

The appetite for this music doesn't surprise me, For country fans, it's almost an existential crisis ? and the natural response to introspection in this world is often music for inspiration and clarification.

Wade Jessen

It wouldn't surprise me if we saw something next season. It is an Olympic year [and some athletes have commitments to their national team], so that is something everybody is going to look at. But as a student of business plans, I feel good about the approach. Nobody is panicking. Nobody has got their head in the clouds or under ground.

It should come as no surprise that we are ahead of schedule - after all, this is what we do, we build networks. We are confident that our deployment and network technology will enable customers to reap the benefits of the nation's only national wireless broadband network.

I think a lot of people are not taking us seriously. I think they're counting us out. We might surprise some people when they don't expect us to win. It takes a lot of the pressure and heat off of us. That might work to our advantage.

Tatyana Lebedeva

That doesn't surprise me. He plays a pretty intense game.

Jeff Carter

With all the changes we've seen in just the past six years, it wouldn't surprise me if something else came along. But they would have some serious catching up to do. With each year and each version of Flash, it becomes harder for anyone else to catch up.

Juan Thomassie

This wasn't a surprise. This is why we proposed the legislation.

Marty Mcomber

Through the Q & A, we should get a sense of where he sees the balance of risks ... A lot of people think he is relatively more inclined to be more dovish. But if he comes across as very concerned about price stability, I think that could surprise expectations to some degree.

Sophia Drossos

I can't describe what happened. Everything is very vivid within my mind. I knew I could get good results, I was sure of my skill, but this... Well, this was more than I expected. It was a surprise for me, too.
