We've taken a slightly longer-term look at our figures and we reckon the benefits of cost-cutting will be greater than previously thought.

Nigel Cobby

I thought we could have been a little more aggressive. But all the credit goes to them for shutting us down the last couple of games.

Neil Giesler

I thought it was from the surgery.

Darren Lindsey

I guess I'm not much of a prognosticator, because I thought we would play our best game of the series today, and we played our worst. They're disruptive (defensively), but by this point in the series, we should be able to better handle it.

Mike Thibault

I thought we carried the run of play and had more dangerous chances. (Massachusetts) finished their chances early out in the beginning of the game, (and we didn't).

Steve Burns

It probably wasn't as exciting as the last game where both teams almost scored 80 points. It was a struggle to 50 points tonight. I thought both teams played great defense.

Keith Hunter

It's hard to say. They didn't do anything we didn't expect. We just didn't convert. Penalties and not converting on third downs cost us. I got behind them that first time and then the majority of their defense was that cover-two look with a corner on me and a safety moving over to help. We thought they'd do it more on the boundary. They varied that a little bit.

Todd Watkins

I thought it was garbage what people were saying about George.

Matt Williams

I felt like if I was gonna transfer anywhere, it'd be like I was stepping down. I thought, 'I'm gonna have to work wherever I go, so I might as well stay here and work.

Donnie Johnson

I thought in the first half, when it was 0-0, that we were winning the hitting war at that time. I thought we were more physical. But they got the mo (momentum) and we had a hard time recovering. We need to get off to a good start on offense.

Ray Keller

We've got to get points out of this, ... Just like the playoffs, if you play at home first, you've got to win. That's the way we have to look at it. We had a great week of training, I thought. A really hard week, especially in the beginning of the week. It seems like forever since we played a game and I think everyone's ready.

Tony Meola

We tried to get them to shoot from the outside and we thought that they might not be able to knock the long one down. That was our game plan because we knew how explosive their guards were off the dribble.

Joey David

We had sold it above $40, and thought we were very clever buying it back at $21, ... Then it went to $12. And nothing changed with the (stock's) story.

Dan Barker

I definitely don't feel like I've had the kind of season I planned on this year. No excuses. I've had some things I've had to face that were a little more difficult than I thought, but I plan on being on top at the end of this weekend.

Mark Perry

I thought the investigation was about the respect for the law. Clearly they don't respect the governor's power to pardon.

Howard Mann

I hope that the project will continue selling to India beyond the 15 years agreement, unless India says otherwise, and we have not thought of any other country at the moment.

Abdulnabi Macki

They had run 4:16 early on, so we thought they could go a little faster. Two of the girls didn't run particularly well. It was really encouraging to set the record on an off day. I don't think we can run four minute, but we can run a little faster.

Mark Tacchi

I view this as a step up. I feel I have more authority, more responsibility, more power with the Orioles. If I thought it was a lateral move, I wouldn't be coming down there.

Jim Duquette

It's a creepy one. The singer gets to lead that one. There are a bunch of times where we stop and she leads us. It was easier than we had thought it was. We thought it was so complicated, but there are only four chords to it.

Dominic Suchyta

I thought he looked great. He's swinging the bat well, and his timing looks like it's there. The key is that he got the barrel of the bat on the ball and he was laying off tough pitches. He's been able to get 30 at-bats relatively quickly.

Gerald Perry

We did not think it would be as difficult culturally as it was for the players to adapt, ... On the field, we struggled and our mistakes were more obvious. But when we brought in foreign players to live and play here, it was more difficult and more involved than we thought.

Antonio Cue

The whole thought is, while people are standing and waiting for the bus, they shouldn't have to worry about breathing cigarette smoke.

Ron Roberts

A lot of condolences. They thought it was a great thing. They thought it was sad for Rochester to lose a world class operation like this.

Kurt Ritchie

Retired is being tired twice, I've thought, first tired of working, then tired of not.

Richard Armour

I'm just enjoying it right now. I don't even know what to say. It's like a fairy tale. I never thought this would happen.

Jason Pyle

Going to camps with Noelle Quinn, I always thought she's the best player I've ever played against. She is the Magic Johnson of our game. She can do it all.

Katie Gearlds

After women finally gained the right to vote, they thought it was important for them to exercise it in an informed way.

Paula Krane

[Some analysts think next year's Congressional elections already pushed reform to the 2003 agenda.] I don't actually think Sept. 11 will have any long-term impact on the Social Security debate, ... 2002 is an election year, so I always thought Congress would take up the issue in 2003.

Michael Tanner

Today I got a shutout but I want to say the team played unbelievable today on the offensive end and in the defensive zone. Two periods they don't give any chance to San Jose and the third period we played a 5-on-3 and San Jose can't score a goal on two breakaways and that's it. I thought we played really well.

Ilya Bryzgalov

When he came to my home, he was just as nice as he could be, well-educated, well-mannered. We sat and talked numerous times together. We thought a lot alike. And I respected him a lot, I really did. This is what is so very painful for me.

Linda Hembree

She wrestled like we thought she could. And we got her wound up enough to get excited. She's a pretty mellow kid and she wrestled very aggressive.

Kerry Benthin

It was a very, very tough road to convince people that ulcers were in fact caused by an infectious source, and not what generations of clinicians had thought beforehand.

Dr. Mark Fendrick

They got some easy inside shots so we started plugging up the middle. Lassiter then hit some outside shots. I thought she was the key in the first half for them. She is a very good player. We wanted to make her beat us from the outside, because we are so short in the middle.

Pat Wulfekuhle

If I thought the machine could do the job, I would fight for this. It takes someone to take the first step.

Gerry Champion

It was a completely different time for me. Now, the children are all grown ... They are all starting their families and well into their own lives. I thought if I was ever going to college, this would be the time to do it.

Michael Walker

Every year, flooding causes more than $2 billion of property damage in the United States. Yet thousands who experienced flooding had no flood insurance because they thought they would never need it.

Diana Herrera

Lying on my back (in a hospital bed) seven years ago, I wouldn't have thought about playing the Open or doing this for a living.

Jarrod Lyle

I thought we made him earn every one of them. And he earned that (last) one. It wasn't like he got a wide-open look. He had to extend his body up over the top of a defender right on him and fade backwards.

George Nessman

His mom invented whiteout. He's a millionaire. I thought having whiteout be the last thing in the museum was a good way to end the tour.

Bob Everhart

I thought Andrew played exceptionally well. When the lights went on, T.J. had his best practice of the year so far.

Brian James

They whipped us in every phase of the game the second half. This is the best team in the league, and I wanted to evaluate us against these people. I thought at halftime we were right there with them. By the end of the season, I would like to play these guys again in the playoffs and see where we stand.

Ted Schmitz

It was a very good game and I thought the kids played hard. I know that if we could just get that first goal, a second one might come a little easier. I was just hoping that the goal would come sooner.

Peter Gardner

I always thought I could do it.

Frank Stallone

We thought it was important to get out of the demands of the regular product development cycle.

Jon Pepper

If we thought they were flush with money we probably wouldn't have entered into the discussion.

Richard Richards

We didn't make shots, but a lot of credit to Hartford. They were hungry for a win and needed one. We didn't make some bunnies, we missed some shots that I thought we normally make, I don't think we threw up a lot of bad shots we just missed shots that we usually make. They did a nice job on us. I knew this was a bee's nest coming into tonight.

Mark Mooney

For us this was very big because everybody saw Cuba as a smaller team. They thought of the other teams, greater teams, bigger teams, powerful. They thought we could never win against Venezuela, that we did not have any possibility or any chances. And here you have it. We know how to play under pressure.

Frederich Cepeda

We started out slow on offense, but I thought our defense held us in. It could have been a 20-point quarter, but we held them to 8. We played a lot better in the second quarter. We loosened up and got it down to a manageable deficit. It was only four a halftime.

Dan Waterman

We didn't play defense as well as we usually do. I thought we let No. 22 (Thompson) get too many good looks.

Marisa Bush

We tried not to be too crazy when I came in by making a lot of changes all at once. It was just a gradual progression to fit in our style of play and I thought we were pretty successful with that.

Dave Sylvester

Lakeside had some tough adjustments to make, losing probably their best player. I thought in the second half they did a great job making some adjustments and probably figuring out a few things they can do and what they'll probably continue to do without him.

Pat Donahue

I wanted to get a checking line out against the [Scott] Gomez line. I thought that if I could do that, we could probably play our first two lines and maybe manufacture some offense.

Tom Renney

That was playoff goaltending. We thought this was our moment to make a move. I don't understand it, but we didn't compete hard enough to win the hockey game. They were far hungrier than we were. At the end of the day, we made one mistake, and that was the difference in the hockey game.

Don Nachbaur

Smoking in and of itself does not control weight, but there's no question that when people quit smoking, they often gain a few pounds, ... And for some industries, that can be a horrible thought.

Cheryl Healton

I thought the issue was so polarized, I just didn't want to get caught.

Jeffrey Schloss

We thought we could do better than we have this year. But the most important thing is that it comes together at the right time.

Ryan Klesko

I'm sad about it. I really thought Nicollette was a shoo-in. In terms of Eva, my prediction is she's leaving us all in the dust.

Marcia Cross

We were really struggling. For the first 23½ minutes they were really taking it to us, ... But we had a couple of special plays that we thought we might be able to hit on them.

Sean O'brien

I thought we had some great opportunities later in the game. After the second goal we decided we can play. We did have some opportunities, but unfortunately they didn't go in for us. That's sort of been the year for us. Our last game we lost, 3-2, after hitting the post four times. We're still searching. We're still looking for a consistent lineup.

Bill Mckee

The Treasury market likes the headline because it was weaker than what it thought.

Joe Lavorgna

I know they thought they were, ... We play against fast guys every week, and we didn't go into the game thinking they were faster than us. You can't do that, otherwise you'll be starting from behind before the game even starts.

Joe Thomas

People thought he was messing with Mark White. It embarrasses the governor.

Glenn Smith

We're excited. We know Greenville's big and growing. It's a great opportunity for us. We have franchises in Craven County and Pamlico County, but we always go to Greenville to shop. When it was offered to us in the fall, we thought it sounded like neat thing.

Marilyn Brewer

Growing up, I never imagined being a pastor. I thought I'd be in business. But this has been far more fulfilling for me.

David Beaty

A lot of students thought they were real.

Bill Proffitt

I reached that stage in my life when I could see it as murder, mayhem and robbery. It was the same as any other criminal organization. It didn't end up being what I thought it would be.

Kevin Roach

It's certainly a good indication that this race may be more interesting than anybody thought.

Bob Beatty

I think I must have just lost more speed than I thought on the second turn. If I think back on the race, that's the only part that really felt off in any way.

Jeremy Wotherspoon

I've known her for about five years. I always heard her talk about her brother, sister and mom, but I thought they didn't exist. There was no info on them while she stayed here, so I thought she was just making them up.

Christine Martin

I wanted us to leave, purely as a precautionary measure. I thought the house would be O.K. When they were fairly adamant about staying, I said, 'All right.

James Maxey

The sensation lies in the fact that the Bronze Age people managed to harmonize the solar and lunar years. We never thought they would have managed that.

Harald Meller

We learned last week we had no director. The executive committee then met (with the commissioners) but we were not told the reasons for Fred leaving. I wasn't aware of any problems and this sort of came out of the blue. He had been doing a good job, I thought, on our comprehensive plan and other projects.

Warren Thomas

The more I [thought about] retirement, the better I felt. I don't think I will ever have another job as such, but I've been working since I was 14 years old. It will give me a chance to do other things.

Jim Copeland

I don't know. It obviously was an accident, but you never know. He's their best player. We'll see what happens as the game goes along, but I really haven't thought about it too much.

Ryan Whitney

I think it's a great level of football. We beat up on each other playing every week. Two schools of thought here. You are either ready for the playoffs or banged up going into the playoffs.

John Wilkinson

The purpose of why we come here is to provoke thought. Most students think it's a slam dunk against Christianity.

Jim Webber

I thought we'd be a very tough team, even before the addition of Lindsey. But with the addition we're that much better.

Darci Lewis

'I meant,' said Ipslore bitterly, 'what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?' Death thought about it. 'Cats,' he said eventually. 'Cats are nice.'

Terry Pratchett

There were a few days I didn't think I would play again. My leg was three times as big with metal plate. I thought I would pursue baseball.

Cody Rincker

I think the format is incredible. I think it was well thought out. I think the skins format has been the same for so long, I think it was getting a bit stale. I think this will infuse some life into it.

Raymond Floyd

I guess it hit me in the wrong spot, right in the back of my shoulder. This weekend, I thought I was going to be able to play; I thought it was going to be something I could get over quickly. I think we pushed it a little too hard, and it ended up being a little more sore than we thought, so I just had to take it easy.

Antone Dejesus

We have some big, long, thin boys. We probably got away with a few fouls, but it's the aggressive team that gets the calls. Today I thought we earned the calls.

Jeff Altchech

I was going full gas in January and I just didn't have any gas left in the tank after a long season, ... Right now, it kind of stings. I wanted to go out on a high note and I wouldn't have even raced if I thought I was going to get 11th, but I have nothing to be ashamed of. It just proves I'm human and I do have limits.

Bobby Julich

The one thing that I was afraid of was that (with) them coming off a loss like they came off of ... I figured they'd be focused and ready to roll. They were. I thought they were very physical with us and we didn't respond very well with that.

Kurt Budke

I polled members of this council separately and it's generally thought we have to work together. But it was a lack of careful consideration that got us into the situation we're in today.

Larry Burns

The officer thought the driver might be DUI.

Tim Robinson

We thought there should be a bit more edge though. We wanted the sisters to grow a little apart, which I think often happens when emotions come into play.

Rosamund Pike

I thought it was brilliant, ... and pretty dead-on concerning what we had to do.

Larry Izzo

We've made a number of personnel changes on the defense. We thought we'd be further along in the secondary. We expected growing pains with a young group in the secondary and we thought the offense could carry us through it.

Weylan Harding

Kelly's been consistent, but we're not getting the scores from the 2, 3 and 4 spots that we need. I thought we'd be right in the (VOL race), but if we don't get some help we'll be out of it real soon.

Steve Lee

I thought we did a really good job of playing defense in the second half. We picked up the pace a little bit on defense in the third quarter and were able to force some turnovers. Overall, it was a good game for us.

Joe Brennan

It was a very intense game. It opened my eyes. It was a little more physical than I thought.

Cody Rincker

I thought it was great for Fort Riley. You know a lot of these troops have just come back from Iraq and they'll have a big parade out there. It'll be a nice event.

Pat Livingston

We certainly wanted the pack to stay together. We wanted Heather to go for it. We thought she could stay with Kerri. We wanted our (second and third) girls to stay in front of Wilton's No. 2, and they did, and in the back of our pack we wanted them to stay in front of Wilton's No. 4, and they did. It was a real team effort. We put five in the top 10.

Sandy Hoddinott

Our defense kept bending and bending and giving up things here and there, but they never really broke. I thought that showed a lot of perseverance in the way they played.

Shawn Berner

I thought we did a good job against them in the first quarter. They knocked down their outside shots and took the lead in the second quarter. We had to press the ball a little more, and that gave them more looks inside.

Kelly Mathews

I never thought I'd be fighting him. I always looked up to him.

Danny Garcia

We missed a lot of easy shots and gave (St. John) a lot of unforced turnovers. I thought we did a better job of attacking (offensively) and got back on defense a lot better.

Tina Yates

It was a brave decision to keep her in training this season but Kieren Fallon said last year that he thought she might just win a Group One and maybe we can make that come true now.

Chris Richardson

I thought we were going to pull it out. We're right there the whole game. We kept fighting our way back. That's a big plus for us -- on the road, playing against a team like that and we were able to do some things.

Rudi Johnson

She thought of a sunrise over the library slope at Cornell University that nobody out on it had seen because the slope faces west.

Thomas Pynchon

Hes doing better than what we thought.

Jamie King

There were two stages to this affair, at first we were demonstrating against all serious culture. The focus changed tremendously as my interest in politics developed. I was meeting people who were calling my attention to issues of socialism, which I'd never really thought about.

Henry Flynt

Wednesday and Thursday, I don't think many people thought he'd be able to go, ... He showed some signs Friday, and we thought maybe he'd take a chance. It just shows what a fighter he is.

Renaldo Hill

Harding came right at us. We thought there would be runs and that's exactly what happened.

Tom Beach

'Germ' is playing real well right now, he really is. He looks like one of those Germans of 'Saving Private Ryan,' so I call him 'Germ.' He's playing like the man we thought he was. He has his switchback out and his bear-hunting license again.

Greg Leib

Our first thought is that we're just glad there's this many deals on the calendar.

Kyle Huske

There's just kind of a confidence that was throughout pre-game and throughout the locker room before the game, and even at halftime, there was a confidence that I hadn't seen in our student athletes at Columbia since I've been here. I don't think there was ever a thought that we weren't going to win that game. There wasn't any panic, ever.

Bob Shoop

Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth - more than ruin - more even than death.... Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man.

Bertrand Russell

To get that extra hundred, we thought we had a very good score.

Michael Hussey

We thought it was really good, just a little bit of Hollywood, but it was about 90 percent the way it was.

Norma Dearfield

I would've never thought that 40 pounds would make that much of a difference.

John Gunter

Reading is an escape, an education, a delving into the brain of another human being on such an intimate level that every nuance of thought, every snapping of synapse, every slippery desire of the author is laid open before you like, well, a book.

Cynthia Heimel

The quote prices for panels (for the first half of March) were out yesterday, and they were not as bad as the market previously thought.

Bill Huang

I think it emboldens us in one way, and that is if anybody thought that an editorial cartoon doesn't have an impact, I think that's pretty much blown out of the water — no pun intended.

Rob Rogers

I was playing around with different concepts in my mind and came up with trying to use our big men up top because of their quickness and the confusion I thought they could cause.

Derrick Kirce

I thought the defensive execution wasn't there at the end. The offensive execution was good enough. We were scoring, but when didn't execute on defense. We couldn't stop them from penetrating towards the basket.

Mark Hatton

He had a great game. I expected that out of him. I thought he'd be fine once he settled down a bit and he showed that. Now I know to expect a little more out of him this week.

Alphus Shipman

I thought we had some pretty good shots on our power play, ... We put a lot of pucks to the net. Unfortunately we weren't able to convert.

Justin Williams

Trinity does a great job of slowing the tempo down. If you take two different styles of play, we're at different ends of the spectrum. … But I thought defense was the difference for us.

Chris Renner

They thought he might be inside but there was so much fire that the firefighters had to back out.

Orlando Dominguez

We came out in the third quarter with a lot of energy, then I thought we got a little fatigued. Defensively, I thought we did a great job. To hold Thayer to 27 points ...

Ted Young

It didn't affect me as much as I thought at the beginning until my arm started getting sore my freshman year.

Darrell Fisherbaugh

We thought if we were going to have a chance it would be to control the tempo. The challenge tonight was that we asked them to do something that is different than what we typically do but, again, we felt like that was our best opportunity. It got up-tempo a little bit in the second half and that?s when you could see the separation in the athletic ability.

Craig Reid

Not decreasing as much as they thought.

Carolina Milanesi

We thought basically, if I medal, we will think about it. After I won, (Baylor) coach (Clyde) Hart and I sat down and we both agreed that there is nothing else in college for me to do.

Jeremy Wariner

If I thought it was for the purpose of keeping me alive and my family alive, I guess I'd give up a little bit of privacy.

Bruce Cheney

I just started making Bloody Marys. I always thought they looked gross, then I tasted one. There's an art to it, from the Tabasco to the Worcestershire.

Tara Reid

I thought it was going to be a little bit harder. I can't wait for the real thing.

Ralph Taylor

Yeah, that's right; they were together. Someone put it very distinctly once to me when they thought Brando was the force, in a way, and the genius, and James Dean was kind of a sonnet, you know? And to describe Jimmy Dean as a sonnet — I feel it's really accurate.

Al Pacino

I thought he'd appreciate that. Whenever Tom led our morning worship service, he'd often just sit in silence. I have to admit, I always liked when Tom led service because it meant I could fall asleep. But hey, sometimes he fell asleep too.

Greg Rollins

I thought this can't be happening. We had how many chances? Everything was played at their goal, then comes one cross and we let (Boubacar) head in unmarked.

Tim Wiese

We thought it was very bleak.

Doug Murray

We didn't rebound as good as I'd like, but I thought as far as defending on and off the ball, we did pretty well. For the most part, it was a pretty good team effort.

Rodney Selph

If I thought we could sit in that store front and get back to 15 units per day, I'd have them sit right there in that store front. That would have been a whole lot easier than doing what we're doing. But I really don't think we can meet the needs of the area without a new strategy.

Mike Bundy

It hurt [Saturday] enough that I couldn't play anymore. Before the Rangers game I didn't actually feel it at all. I knew it was there but I felt good. I thought I was making progress with the groin, but unfortunately I wasn't. The thing is with the groin, you have to be 95 or 100 percent to play, that's just the way it is.

Petr Nedved

The two previous Republican contesters got the same percentage of votes. I thought that I might do at least 20 percent or better. But it seems that there is a consistent base that is content with Sam Johnson.

Bob Johnson

People started sending me mail saying I wasn't paying enough attention to the White Sox. I thought one way to put it to rest was to make a stupid statement.

Jerry Reinsdorf

We have three more steps to take to get to our ultimate goal (a state title). The thought definitely creeps into our heads but we have to stay focused and take it one game at a time.

Chris Verosky

I thought the offense could do something because they are so talented, that (the defense) would motivate them with our stops, but then I'm not down on them. If (the offense) messes up, I'll fight for them. They're my brothers, and I'll fight for my brothers.

Terrence Royal

The housing boom is really driving up the prices for homes, so $13 million doesn't surprise me. To hear that another skyscraper is going up in Brooklyn is a forgone thought to me.

Nancy Fisher

It's not necessarily inappropriate to build new towns, but it's an issue that requires discussion and thought -- way beyond trying to craft something for an individual development.

Janet Bowman

I thought Ozzie was in over his head. We were all wrong on that.

Peter Gammons

The blocks were huge. I've always thought that blocking is such a big part of the game. They (the other team) starts thinking about it and it throws them off their game.

Veronica Rood

Number one, I was trying to change our fortune. Number two, we've been preaching a lot about character and showing some class. I just thought it'd be a sign of showing kids that you didn't have to look like a bum all the time to do a job. They got a kick out of it. I think it loosened them up a little bit.

Clay Jordan

We're better at this stage of the season than I thought we'd be. We've come together quicker than I expected. They're good on the floor, and they're good off the floor. They buy into everything because we're winning. They are unselfish, a blue-collar team with a no-nonsense approach. They come to play. I'd say they've overachieved.

Bob Rager

He thought that the 'extermination' of animals in the lab was akin to the Holocaust.

Steven Bailey

I think we all thought Eddie Guerrero was going to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame one day. We just didn't think it would be so soon.

Rey Mysterio

I thought that was a real nice gesture. I'm going to write him a nice letter.

Vern Nelson

I thought at the beginning of the second half our shot selection was poor and they picked up the intensity. We didn't get back on defense as well as we had to.

Tom Tennett

I was watching everything before me. Olie was unbelievable, he stopped everything from shots, moves. I just thought to myself, 'Maybe I'll surprise him.' I tried the move and it worked.

Marek Malik

When I came in I thought I'd be an FBI agent. I wanted to be a psychological profiler. But I'm actually going to grad school for school psychology at the elementary level.

Karalyn Dehn

I thought he threw really well. He didn't have quite as much control on his off-speed stuff, but he battled. He threw as hard as I have seen but not as sharp.

Jon Hoover

Our knowledge is the amassed thought and experience of innumerable minds.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Something I thought was missing from our first two games was our transition game. We were able to score some transition goals today thanks in part to our success in the face-off game. We also made some nice plays in the middle of the field which is a strength for us.

Richie Meade

When we played Harrisonburg the last time, we thought he played tentatively against them. We got him the ball, he had 16 attempts, but [Tuesday] we felt really that we could pound it in to him, and we were, especially in the first half.

John Woodrum

I thought that made them start playing harder.

Ryan Ghere

Before the show I was a real paperback-by-the-pool sort of girl. I'd backpacked through Europe and modeled in South Africa, but I would never have ventured out on a puddle-jumper, then a bus ride, then a two-hour boat trip up a river through the jungle to see Belizean ruins. I always thought, 'Hey, I'm here to chill.'

Brooke Burke

We thought (Scottsbluff) was getting used to the zone and we thought we could pressure their guards into turning it over a little bit. We forced them to take some poor shots in the third quarter. That gave us an opportunity to get up the floor.

Damon Artery

I don't know what happened. I guess I thought I fouled it off.

A.j. Pierzynski

She's been a surprise early. We knew she would develop as the year went on, but she's done it sooner than we thought and that's probably why we've had the success we've had early on.

Jim Jeske

I thought we played awfully well together, especially coming off Christmas break.

Joe Wojtkiewicz

I thought Walker just stepped up and (turned on his game) in the second half, just refuse to lose.

Don Moreland

We only had 10 hits but we could have easily had 20 because we scalded the baseball today. I thought our at bats were very good today so I'm was pleased with that.

John Cohen

I thought that possession was one of our best of the night. The ball just bounced in a funny direction and they got a good look.

Chad Wintz

I thought it would be a buzz around school, maybe around town, but I never thought it would be this big.

Brian Benson

I never thought (the crowd) was that huge. When you realize you are not alone, you grow stronger, ... Sanay tayo diyan (We are used to it).

Ferdinand E. Marcos

If we're committed to taking over a station 24/7, there ought to be some thought into programming other than the two hours of our smiling faces.

William Lee

Our goal was just to save the building from demolition. We thought this was a good way.

Dave Henderson

This is a wonderful way to help children understand that the arts are all inter-related. This artwork has evolved from the music they have heard played, how they thought and felt during that music.

Cheryl Ferguson

The ancestor of every action is a thought.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

He didn't hang around all the bad people at school. I never thought he would ever get involved in anything like this.

Robert Watkins

I didn't look at this as No. 4 against No. 1. I just thought of this as a Big East battle, and it's a game we were fortunate enough to win.

Will Sheridan

It was envisioned as a second wave after 9/11, and he (Khalid Sheikh Mohammed) wanted to use Southeast Asians because he thought they could get into the U.S. and hijack the planes more so than Arabs because the U.S. would be more on alert to Arabs after 9/11.

Ken Conboy

I thought about it for a little bit. You know what? It does not matter. I did it. I beat him. I beat Ruiz.

James Toney

When you look at a movie, you look at a director's thought process.

Oliver Stone

I thought the kids did a nice job. We probably didn't take the best shot selections early, but we settled down and did a nice job.

Kristi Snider

I thought we showed a lot of poise as a team. We stayed together when Colorado State made their run at us. The guys hung in there and it's a great win for us.

Louis Amundson

I really feel like this is such an important story of racial healing in America, ... Somebody thought they had to leave their family to make this marriage work, and then to be fully received -- it was just a miracle, really.

Dolores Johnson

Intel is not a bellwether for software and networking. Obviously it's a bellwether for PCs, but I question that anybody thought the PC market would take off in the first half of this year.

Bert Hochfeld

I thought maybe slotback or wide receiver, ... I came here as a wide receiver and I always wanted to play offense. But I wasn?t going to go and seek it out.

Dante Ross

I was just battling out there. I thought I threw some good pitches and the balls just kept [finding] the holes.

Javier Vazquez

He's had a phenomenal year. It's what we expected from him. Studying him before the draft, he's everything we thought he was.

Ron Middleton

Last year was so good we thought it might be a stretch to better that.

John Packer

We are somewhat surprised to see Guidant's board support Johnson & Johnson's offer. Recall that this is the same company that thought Guidant was only worth $63 a few weeks ago. Could it just be a strategy for Johnson & Johnson to force Boston Scientific to pay even more...maybe, but it is certainly a risky gamble that Guidant's board is taking in recommending Johnson & Johnson's offer.

Tao Levy

I thought our guys were mentally tough tonight. I thought our guys hung in there pretty good.

Lorenzo Romar

The overall number where there is actually a problem is still low, but more importantly, you've got, once again, a revelation that the problem is a little wider than first thought. What people had been hoping to see is some end to this.

Keay Nakae

I just felt really bad for the people. I thought we could do something to help. I saw the kids on TV and thought a toy would make them feel better.

Stephanie Green

We always thought it could be a dangerous hurricane, ... is the typical track for October.

Lixion Avila

We wanted to impose our will on them early. We thought the first five minutes of the game were the most important. We had good ball movement, we shared the ball and we got a lot of good looks.

Kermit Carolina

I have thought too much to stoop to action.

Adam De L'Isle

I'm all for fire stations near to everyone as can be. But they should be put in commercial areas. I'm well aware of the not-in-my-backyard idea, but there ought to be better thought to where they are put.

Stanley Walker

I was absolutely impressed. I thought he was a wonderful man.

Lisa Johnson's

Yes, we have acquired the services of Mr Bradley Stewart... we thought he would be the ideal replacement for the previous head coach.

Patrick Roberts

Even up until yesterday, we thought that the numbers would change.

Frances Chaney

I've always thought that area was going to go down the drain without a four-year institution.

Sen. Richard Saslaw

Running 26 miles is quite a commitment. Just to be able to say that your body can handle that kind of abuse is a badge of honor. I thought the club was a wonderful idea. It's a good way for the students to channel their energies, and running is a lifelong activity they can do forever.

Gene Johnson

This is not done without any real thought. There are tough standards.

Ron Thomas

This has been a dream job for me. I haven't thought too much beyond this, but you never say never.

Greg Mcdermott

Any positive thing like that will absolutely create problems. But I thought it was and still is a wonderful thing.

George Carey
