An editor suggested to me I might try contemporary horror. At first this didn't appeal-then the idea arrived.

Tanith Lee

We know we're going to get flooded again. These homes never should have been built in the first place.

Judy Morgan

It's still just the first step at this point.

Koya Tabata

They have to come over the political hurdle first before they can talk about anything else.

Frank Gong

It's a challenging environment, very competitive low barriers to entry. For them to get the first one successful or profitable in six months is certainly a commendable feat.

Patrick Schumann

We work on that a lot, especially early on, being able to throw your breaking ball early in the count and get ahead of the hitters without them seeing his fastball first.

Todd Genke

The kids came out and shot well. We hit four 3s in that first quarter.

Sean Dillon

The first mistake of art is to assume that it's serious.

Lester Bangs

They just never got into the game. We sat back too much the first half.

Tom Taucher

Our main focus is to get past that first round.

Amanda Hansen

We're going to apply into crevices first because we want that area to be a little bit darker.

Teresa Follmer

We felt like it was better to get it done, and get it done now. He should be ready by that first game (mid-November).

Steve Barnes

The first guy, he was burned badly. I told him to just get out of there. His skin was dropping off his body.

John House

I'll be the first to admit that, public safety, it's a new thing for this agency.

Alan Steen

That was one of the first things I looked at, ... We're the 78th team in Class 6A and Cypress Bay is the largest. We get to go against them, and they're one of the teams to beat.

Jack Chapman

Imagination is the first faculty wanting in those that do harm to their kind.

Margaret Oliphant

This is the first report in the country that will actually identify real payments.

Marc P. Volavka

I believe they arrested him first thing this morning. The homicide team arrested him after they interviewed him.

Cindy Beavers

But that's a first game for you.

Larry Dolan

I'm expecting a modest first day ... gain of 5 to 15 percent.

Irv Degraw

My report card always said, 'Jim finishes first and then disrupts the other students'.

Jim Carrey

The first trip is always good.

Jay Pandolfo

I'll charge you the same price I did in the festivals first year, zero.

Wayne Andrews

That was excellent. Looking at a first game, we came out and played as a team.

Jared Brown

Heat is the number one enemy of electronic devices. Why not create less heat in the first place?

Andrew Fanara

Katherine Morrison has been a tireless advocate for the underserved children and families in our community since her first day on the job.

Lindsay Hutter

After Chauncey missed that shot at the end of the first overtime, I knew we had to get it back to him again because I knew he'd make up for it.

Tayshaun Prince

If at first you don't succeed, keep on sucking till you do succeed.

Curly Howard

I couldn't ask for a better coach. He was more nervous than we were at our first fights. I think he's why I won my last fight.

Jon Beggerly

If at first you don't succeed, blame your parents.

Marcelene Cox

It's a natural progression from Matchbox to your first car at 16 -- always thinking bigger, better and faster.

John Clarke

This first year was based on a promise, but the future will be based on performance.

Michael Gartner

This is just the first step of the second season.

Brian Goodman

This was better than I expected. I thought that mike would place first and the others would get second. They exceeded our expectations.

Bob Owen

We took a leap of faith. Between the two of us we had eight students that first year.

Marty Simons

The first duty of love is to listen.

Paul Tillich

Currency effects will definitely be an issue for BMW this year as well, especially in the first two quarters.

Michael Tyndall

Everything is run by my cats first.

Nohl Rosen

First we need a safety net from the farm bill. It would be a safety net that we would not use every year.

Bob Metz

Truth is meant to save you first, and the comfort comes afterward.

Georges Bernanos

This is the first time he's ever been in a hospital or broke any bones. He's not used to this.

Chris O'bannon

I was tickled to death with how we played in the first half.

Chris Sampson

This was our first design and, with the cowboy theme, it is ideal for boys.

Lori Brumbach

It's awesome when you hit one, you know you got it and you hear the crowd on opening night. I couldn't have asked for a better first at-bat.

Jason Cooper

The first writers are first and the rest, in the long run, nowhere but in anthologies.

Carl Van Doren

This was one of her first experiences coming out and playing and being a part of the varsity team.

Joan Rachetto

He got up, smacked me on the side of my face first, then started choking me.

Keith Ellis

I was the first guy of my era to do this. Everybody thought I was absolutely out of my mind.

Frank Stallone

The first five races of the year, we were so strong.

Scott Riggs

They just annihilated us in the first half.

Mike Sjoberg

My fame is largely due to young people, they're the first ones to discover me.

Pat Morita

To be able to do this job in the first place you've got to have a bit of an ego.

Gary Oldman

They really set the tone right in the first couple of plays.

Jim Bolla

The first time around was like a trial run for us.

David Hufford

It's one of the first techniques that they learn to soothe themselves.

Jim Bird

M y first words were, 'Oh, he finally did it,'.

Blake Kerr

It is a special day for us with our first Olympic gold medal.

Felix Gottwald

Give them all the credit. We didn't execute on offense, especially in the first half.

Gene Allen

He had trouble his first inning. His second inning was terrific.

Jerry Russo

At first, in many areas it didn't look really bad and suddenly we realized we'd been fooled.

Russ Mitchell

They are consumed very quickly at the first of the year, and we need to look at increasing that.

Claude Allen

We definitely struggled in the first tournament. But (we) got a lot better, had more fun and adjusted to (one another's ) personalities.

Billy Kelly

Their first two goals were terrible. Our defense played awful.

Peter Doherty

I feel like I'm 18 years old and lining up for my first game in the AFL.

Ben Graham

It is always good to win the first match of the series.

Marvan Atapattu

(First responders) can go inside without breaking down doors.

Barbara Bradley

They did really well for North Port for our first year. This was beyond our expectations.

Christopher Knight

The first condition of immortality is death.

Stanislaw J. Lec

It's one of 16. If you can win the first one, you can't lose them all.

Romeo Crennel

This was my first deployment and it probably won't be my last. I enjoyed the training it took for me to get here and I enjoy my job.

Chris Vaught

There's no way that a fan of The Darkness, based on what we did on the last record, is not going to love this record even more than the first one.

Justin Hawkins

If France are not at their best then we could beat them (in what would be their first ever away victory in the Six Nations).

Pierre Berbizier

Gary needs a hospital with first-class health care. Gary needs and deserves first-class health care.

In matters of conscience, first thoughts are best. In matters of prudence, last thoughts are best.

Robert Hall

The first of the armed reconnaissance helicopters are scheduled to enter service by the end of 2004.

Peter Reith

Love yourself first and everything falls into line.

Lucille Ball

We have to break the first line of their press. If we do that, we'll be OK. If we don't, we won't be.

Craig Mortensen

Dan was the first real (crew chief) I had. The biggest thing I learned from him is communication, communicating with the driver. You have to get along and be on the same page to be competitive.

Andy Santerre

At first when I drove, I didn't want anyone else in the car with me. I was terrified that something could happen and someone would get hurt.

Max Bolin

When they came out after that first delay, they wanted it more. And (after) the second delay they wanted it more than we did.

Brent Stroh

At first we were thinking 'what are we going to do with all these coats?' but now they are almost all gone.

Claudia Tremaine

I've said to them they've done great but we should have done in the first half what we did in the second half.

David Moyes

Music, I feel, must be emotional first and intellectual second.

Maurice Ravel

I haven't heard about this before. So far as I know, this is the first study to make this connection.

John Banzhaf

I like computers. It's the first time that I am endorsing a computer brand. I am very computer savvy, so this is certainly up my ally.

This is the world's first self-balancing human transporter.

Dean Kamen

The Dons were the first dynasty in college basketball, and we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of that accomplishment.

Bill Hogan

We are both big fans of the White Sox. It was kind of our first date.

Dan Zimmerman

Whatever man does he must do first in his mind.

Re-emphasized all the reasons the jury found him guilty in the first place.

John Byrd

We'll be investigating the first profit statement put out by the company and any consequences to shareholders.

Jason Lee

We will be hosting our first-ever international invitational.

Nancy Mcdaniel

He's bonkers. He's a dear, old fashioned chauvinist of the first order.

Jussi Jokinen

Second-chance baskets hurt us in the first half.

Ray Liberatore

He's been charged with first-degree arson, 20 counts of reckless endangerment and one count of malicious burning.

Pete Piringer

Our first goal is to teach kids.

Rene Desjardins

It was quite an experience. It was hard to fit in with everything at first. But, we've gotten more comfortable during the season.

Victor Snyder

First of all, we appreciate the bypass. But they dropped the ball on the drainage problem.

Tom Sullivan

He will be battling it out for a first team place with either Gavin or Stuart.

Joe Mcaree

Some of our defencemen here in the first couple of games have been just outstanding.

Adrian Aucoin

In the second half, I got my wind. In the first half, I didn't have my wind.

In the first game, all she did was smile at me.

Shelly Arredondo

In 27 years of practice, this is a first for me.

Roger Falk

First and foremost, this decision shows this type of behavior will not be tolerated.

Greg Krikorian

It was daunting at first. I did have insomnia for two weeks.

Chris Frantz

My toughest fight was with my first wife.

Muhammad Ali

It's a nice feeling to have the first medal. Maybe there will be more riders there now.

Radoslav Zidek

That may not sound exciting, but it's what gets first downs and wins games.

Brian Luke

We're not contradicting the view that genetic changes occur in the development of cancers, but there also are epigenetic changes and those come first.

Harlem Globetrotters

The First Amendment is a wonderful things, but you have to be careful with it in this environment.

Wayde Byard

It was nice to get the first one out of the way. I've thrown off that mound and I felt pretty comfortable.

Jon Lester

They're 1. Are we 2? It's the first I've heard. Then it must be important.

Dave Cottle

The airport was more difficult for him. He was the one who went through first. The players didn't have any problems. Only a few of the bad people were there.

For the first time in history, we declared war without financing it. Americans have not been asked to pay for it through taxes.

David Broder

He's definitely not like me at all, ... He's the smart one but he's also definitely me-first.

Glenn Howerton

They have no right to own property in the United States because they have no right to be here in the first place.

Diana Hull

The first book was huge. I was amazed.

In the first three minutes we had some defensive breaks.

Susan Walvius

I thought we did (better) job matching up defensively than what we did the first time we played them.

This is the first one I've been involved with where miners were trapped.

William Garay

The only way to enjoy anything in this life is to earn it first.

Troy Bienemann

New Hampshire out-played us for most of the first half.

Mary Shea

The first girl you go to bed with is always pretty.

So we kind of laid an egg in our very first game.

She wasn't expected to live the first week.

Debbie Stanley

We were shooting too fast in the first half and not running our offense.

Lindzie Kulm

All the Districts come down and host different activities. We (First District) set up a balloon dart board and the kids break the balloons and win prizes. We even add a little money to some of the balloons.

Richard Seto

First and foremost, the public demands it. The public pays for it.

Gene Mancini Jr

Everyone's first concern is always the grass or their crops, but trees can suffer too.

Richard Clark

We're not disappointed at all. We're excited Bode is there in the first place. We're still very proud of him.

That first game we had 26 turnovers and their defensive pressure caused a lot of problems.

Keri Nichols

It's not the first time they have maneuvers and we don't believe that they are a threat in and of themselves.

Prince Saud

At first, it was a little tough. Then I got used it.

Jarvis Jones

It was a first meeting. Now the PUD will have to go back and crunch the numbers and see what might be feasible.

Mayor Quincy Snow

When I first started doing it in the early years, I cut everything up with a cross-cut. We didn't have chain saws then.

David Justice

It's always good to get the first one out of the way.

Derek Hamilton

I stood up, and that's when the first gunshot hit me in the stomach.

John Donner

We have had our first post 9/11 test and we have miserably failed.

Tim Roemer

We came in ranked second, and lost in the first round.

We came here to win, the first period we played well, but Toronto won the third.

Nell Carter

The first thing a principle does is kill somebody.

The dog's happiness comes first.

Greg Forte

We're going to take care of medical needs first.

Dr. Tim Johns

Helen Rowland

When it comes to confrontations with Beijing, even small ones, this administration always seems to blink first.

Julian Tavarez

She was one of the first ones who actually had a couture gown made for her in Paris.

We just gave him that first start.

These are first estimates based on sketchy data and my feeling is that the figures could get revised upwards.

Todd Watkins

We got our first eagle's nest about six to eight years ago.

Bill Ohde

We should have killed them off in the first half but didn't and paid for it.

Bernard Laporte

Arthur Smith

It was the first study conducted with middle-class African-American men.
