Barney Wragg

We were just happy to get reviewed by the New York Times (on March 26). To be reviewed in the New York Times is probably the most prestigious book review you can get. Heavy book buyers read it.

Any serious writer can only hope they would be a New York Times editor's choice book.

Dan Wetzel

The government wants the parties to fall into its trap and also to show the international community that it is serious about elections.

It's a positive development because another few days of contested campaigning would do damage to an office that is in serious need of unity.

Carmen Miranda

If you do both of those at the same time in an economy that is already contracting, you do run a serious risk of pushing the economy over the edge.

Nick Teti

Steve Martin writes this play about something very serious. But, as Steve Martin, he puts his own little twist on words. The wit is quick and very funny in addition to presenting an interesting message.

More seriously, China's economy would take a big hit if the US dollar weakened sharply due to such factors as a bursting of the US property bubble. The loss for China's foreign exchange reserves would be extremely serious.

Potentially a very serious situation.

Mike Hill

It makes the publisher look bad. How did he get it past editors that are supposed to have caught it? It will cause some serious soul searching.

John Hardy

We've tried to build something that will be attractive for everybody from 5 to 95. And folks who are serious racers will have a nice venue. I think the event and party rooms will be popular. It's a great place for office or company outings and graduation parties.

Kris Taylor

We felt something this serious deserves a very serious forum.

Todd Harris

The stakes could hardly be higher. Neither side appears eager for a second war, but the situation is very fragile and to dismiss current tensions as mere saber-rattling would be a serious mistake.

Gareth Evans

But a person's a fool if they think you can take a serious punt on when that exactly will happen.

Karl Newman

If the Premier League and the government are serious about creating competition in football, then we are serious about participating.

Jim Mooney

It's something that we need. And if we can afford it, I think there is a serious intent to move forward.

They really don't know me, and I really don't know them. But one thing for sure that I try to leave them with is I am serious about my J-O-B. Once I retire and leave this game, that's what I want everybody to understand.

Randy Moss

It's not too serious. Windows XP has over 45 million lines of code and it would be an enormous job to rewrite from scratch. It's a case of better the devil you know.

Sgt. Scott Fray

When British music magazines say we're overly serious or po-faced I think it's actually an indication that the mindset of people right now is to be completely apolitical and not be concerned about what's happening in the world.

Kele Okereke

To live exhilaratingly in and for the moment is deadly serious work, fun of the most exhausting sort.

Barbara Grizzuti Harrison

A serious and composed young actress who won't let a line pass without making certain she's had it in for a private talk and perhaps tea.

Bob Kruger

Approximately half of the serious eye injuries from fireworks resulted in severe loss in the affected eye.

Jim O'neill
