Peter Tertzakian

At first glance, the prices for this home-grown content are...well, optimistic, to put it graciously. Unrealistic or inflated, to be harsh about it.

William Jefferson
It is a significant piece of literature. The lines still ring true. We feel things moving in on us just as Willy did. He had such big dreams, that maybe were unrealistic.

Crispin Glover

It brings everybody back to a better negotiating stance. You don't have unrealistic sellers and you have buyers that can take their time and breathe when they are buying. It makes for a better win-win situation for everybody involved.
Susan Lowe
It's becoming more prevalent because of these shows. They're based on reality, but they're distorted by Hollywood for dramatic effect. And it affects jurors. Jurors now have unrealistic expectations when they enter a case. I think they really believe we can get fingerprints off the head of a pin.
Dennis Godfrey
He indicated it was a very difficult decision and stressed the pragmatic nature of what the Israeli army is trying to do by consolidating its resources. I don't think there was any unrealistic sense of optimism because the Palestinians have done nothing to combat terrorism.
