81431. NSF is the only federal agency with a proven track record of selecting education projects through a rigorous, careful and competitive process that draws on a wide variety of experts from outside government. – Bob Inglis
81432. So I submit to my colleagues here today that hydrogen is not as far away as we think it is. – Bob Inglis
81433. The freedom to convert is fundamental to freedom of religion. – Bob Inglis
81434. We added Medicare Part D to a system facing bankruptcy and gave no thought to means testing it. – Bob Inglis
81435. We in Congress need to support the American forces in every conceivable way, giving them the tools to continue to convert, capture or kill terrorists and the time to equip the Iraqi security forces. – Bob Inglis
81436. We should be trying to make education less expensive, not more. – Bob Inglis
81437. For example, a breakthrough in better batteries could supplant hydrogen. Better solar cells could replace or win out in this race to the fuel of the future. Those, I see, as the three big competitors: hydrogen, solar cells and then better batteries. – Bob Inglis
81438. We are a nation of laws and a nation of immigrants. – Bob Inglis
81439. IT may be proper to observe further, that this Duty is not confined to those who live under any one particular Form of Government: It extends to the Subjects of all regular States, lawfully established. – Charles Inglis
81440. It is the Band which unites the Interests of Individuals; it secures to them their respective Rights, and preserves them from Injuries; it is the Source of numberless Blessings, which are interrupted, or wholly vanish, the Moment it is disturbed. – Charles Inglis
81441. TO fear God, is one of the first and greatest Duties of his rational Creatures. – Charles Inglis
81442. To comprehend the Wisdom of this Injunction the better, and explain the Duty before us, it should be considered, that Government is the only Means by which human Happiness can be attained. – Charles Inglis
81443. THIS Duty implies that we should affectionately interest ourselves in whatever concerns the Honour, the Fame and Security of our Sovereign and his Government. – Charles Inglis
81444. LET us honour the King by cherishing respectful Sentiments concerning him; speaking of him with Affection, with Esteem and Reverence; and by promoting a like Spirit and Conduct in others. – Charles Inglis
81445. If notwithstanding, a Rebellion of the same Kind now afflicts this Country, we should not infer that this Institution is useless, or should be laid aside; but just the Reverse. – Charles Inglis
81446. All the dark, malevolent Passions of the Soul are roused and exerted; its mild and amiable affections are suppressed; and with them, virtuous Principles are laid prostrate. – Charles Inglis
81447. A State infinitely worse than that which the most inflamed Zealot, the most violent Republican or Enthusiast even pretended to dread before the Rebellion commenced. – Charles Inglis
81448. A Failure in this Duty did once involve our Nation in all the Horrors of Rebellion and Civil War. – Charles Inglis
81449. That some Forms of Government are preferable to others, cannot be doubted; yet neither our Saviour, nor his Apostles have decided where that Preference is due. – Charles Inglis
81450. Well I think that what we’re seeing now is that the people feel like they, the people in Congress don’t have their consent to govern them. They keep doing things that are incredibly unpopular. And so when that happens, folks get angry. – Laura Ingraham
81451. Well I think that, if you want to look at polarizing people right now, I wouldn’t look at Palin, I’d look at Barack Obama. – Laura Ingraham
81452. But to say that Sarah Palin and the tea party movement is responsible for vandalism or threats is just a way to dismiss the American people and, and their dissatisfaction with this health care bill. – Laura Ingraham
81453. Incredible that liberals aren’t more concerned about the monopoly of information in South Dakota. – Laura Ingraham
81454. South Dakota is a great state because of its values, not because of dependence on government. – Laura Ingraham
81455. We know that Europe loves President Obama. He had adoring crowds. The press loves Obama. The question is how will this date end? Okay? The question is, to what end? Why do they love President Obama? They love his personal story, they love his wife. North Korea, China and Russia don’t really care about Michelle’s arms and, you know, whether they gave an iPod to the Queen, okay? – Laura Ingraham
81456. It was very clear that this was a very, very old site. There were remains of sod walls. Fishermen assumed it was an old Indian site. Bu Indians didn’t use that kind of buildings and houses. – Helge Ingstad
81457. I came into the world at the right time. – Helge Ingstad
81458. I have to say when we talk about the treatment of these prisoners that I would guess that these prisoners wake up every morning thanking Allah that Saddam Hussein is not in charge of these prisons. – James Inhofe
81459. We must never forget that many around the globe are denied the basic rights we enjoy as Americans. If we are to continue enjoying these privileges and freedoms we must accept our mission of expanding democracy around the globe. – James Inhofe
81460. A country’s adhering to the rule of law does not mean that its citizens will not do bad things. – James Inhofe
81461. As we continue to make great progress in the war on terror, now more than ever, it is important that members of the international community stand-by and bolster the efforts of the emerging diplomatic leaders in Iraq and Afghanistan. – James Inhofe
81462. I do not think our priorities are misplaced when we are looking at creating a whole new class of children from these gay marriages who could end up completely dependent on the State, on the taxpayers – the American people. – James Inhofe
81463. People are, well, only human. We know that. The rule of law is borne out in identifying, condemning, and punishing those who violate the standards on which we all agree. This is exactly what we do in America. – James Inhofe
81464. Much of the debate over global warming is predicated on fear, rather than science. – James Inhofe
81465. If they’re in cell block 1A or 1B, these prisoners – they’re murderers, they’re terrorists, they’re insurgents. Many of them probably have American blood on their hands. And here we’re so concerned about the treatment of those individuals. – James Inhofe
81466. The standard rumor at the time was that Rumsfeld, as chief of staff, had persuaded President Ford to appoint George H.W. Bush as director of Central Intelligence, assuming that that got rid of a potential competitor for the presidency. – Bobby R. Inman
81467. Myself, I don’t think you will ever get security in the Mideast until you have what on the surface appears to be fair to both sides. You have to have leaders committed to peace, on both sides. One side can’t impose a solution. – Bobby R. Inman
81468. Another factor is the decision, made in 1976, to sharply divide the FBI and the foreign intelligence agencies. The FBI would collect within the United States; the foreign intelligence agencies would collect overseas. – Bobby R. Inman
81469. I can remember – I don’t want to identify the individual – but a very prominent Democrat, who compared looking at Carter and then Reagan, and then Bush, and observed that many of the people around Carter were totally disloyal to him. – Bobby R. Inman
81470. You want to keep intelligence separate from policy. – Bobby Ray Inman
81471. And Oliver North was really a good soldier, up to the last moment, shoving memos into the shredder and defending the policy to the end. – Bobby Ray Inman
81472. Iraq is not about oil. – Bobby Ray Inman
81473. Zealots often carry the day. – Bobby Ray Inman
81474. As best I can tell there was no advance warning of the attack on the World Trade Center in 1993, which was the first significant foreign terrorist activity in the U.S. No tip-offs that it was coming. – Bobby Ray Inman
81475. The thing with Kerry is that all of this is a natural progression, her troubles. It’s a cycle. – Laura Innes
81476. I’m straight and I have a lot of gay friends. – Laura Innes
81477. Our intention is to really explore this transition and, beyond that, explore the particular things that someone comes up against when they’re gay or lesbian. – Laura Innes
81478. The story line was done in a way that’s organic and was doled out very slowly in little bites. We think that’s authentic for this character, that her feelings are very deeply buried or she never felt them. – Laura Innes
81479. It was sort of that in-between area when people don’t talk about their personal lives. That’s the kind of life I think Kerry would be living now if it weren’t for the Lopez character sort of outing her. – Laura Innes
81480. And it’s sort of an old-fashioned ER, in that it’s very much about the medicine, and how these people cope. There’s very little about the personal lives of the characters. – Laura Innes
81481. But I’m not objective when I’m acting. – Laura Innes
81482. I have a friend who is around my age, a little younger, and she’s gay and came out to her own community when she was younger but not to her family and to the community at large. – Laura Innes
81483. We’ve been back since July, but I spent some time with the family in the south of France over the summer. We rented a house with another couple and took it easy. – Laura Innes
81484. I think they do a great job on Queer as Folk. – Laura Innes
81485. We try to be driven by what’s a good story, what’s truthful, and the drama of what happens next. – Laura Innes
81486. I mean Gorilla was really our first sort of goes at songwriting. – Neil Innes
81487. It was just us lampooning our own peer group, saying, well hey, where did this stuff come from? And where does British guys get to be so good at it suddenly? – Neil Innes
81488. Ladies and gentleman, I’ve suffered for my music, now it’s your turn. – Neil Innes
81489. Larry only ever wrote one song, and he wrote that with Tony Kaye, I think it was, from Yes. – Neil Innes
81490. Eric Clapton always wanted to come out onstage with a stuffed parrot on his shoulder. – Neil Innes
81491. So we used to look for funny songs, and learn them and play them. And we used to play them in pubs. – Neil Innes
81492. Viv had this kind of stage presence where you couldn’t ignore it. He walked onstage, he looked dangerous. You just didn’t know what he was going to do. – Neil Innes
81493. I suppose Roger had the license to do anything that fitted the venue. – Neil Innes
81494. I see my role in the Bonzos as being the straight man, in many ways. – Neil Innes
81495. We weren’t by any means like the Grateful Dead or something, who could just roll on and on and on. – Neil Innes
81496. I wasn’t aware that Track Records were interested in the Bonzos. – Neil Innes
81497. I mean in recent years, I think you’ve only got to sell thirty or forty thousand to get a #1. – Neil Innes
81498. And Roger was crazy with his robots and everything. – Neil Innes
81499. In many ways, Viv and I were the only ones who were really songwriters. – Neil Innes
81500. We weren’t going to play the show-biz game, and be obsequious. – Neil Innes
81501. In fact, Moon came on tour with us for a bit just before a big festival in Brighton, I think. – Neil Innes
81502. As I said, when we needed to move over to rock’n’roll, Sam and Vernon couldn’t quite make the shift. So that’s when Larry took over on drums, and we needed a bass player. – Neil Innes
81503. Because Larry, by then, was a drummer, who would sort of get bored and tired, and rather stand up and blow kisses to people. So we needed the bass to sort of drive along. – Neil Innes
81504. But Dennis was a really solid musician, and we really needed somebody who could play bass like him. – Neil Innes
81505. But I mean, again, Zappa’s far more musical than the Bonzos ever were. – Neil Innes
81506. But mostly, I wrote songs and Viv wrote songs. – Neil Innes
81507. We then took a shortened version of what we’d been doing in the pubs, with the best gags and things like that, out to cabaret clubs and things in the north of England for six weeks. And we became a big success. – Neil Innes
81508. But we used to go to flea markets and things, and look for old 78 records that had silly song titles. – Neil Innes
81509. I suppose we all loved those kind of sci-fi movies where terrible things came out of swamps and came to Mars. And there’s usually some poor girl. All the guys are trying to desperately handle levers and saying, go to something or other. – Neil Innes
81510. I think most musicians do like to have a laugh. – Neil Innes
81511. I used to help Viv with the chords and melodies sometimes. – Neil Innes
81512. But I remember we sold nearly 18,000 records in one day. – Neil Innes
81513. When we did Top of the Pops for the third time, we decided to do it as a television program here called Come Dancing, which is not as rude as it sounds. – Neil Innes
81514. I do not personally agree with some of the positions that Mr. Gonzales has advocated, but that should come as no surprise, because I do not agree with many of the proposals made by the man who nominated him, President Bush. – Daniel Inouye
81515. Yes, prudently invested contributions to the Social Security fund may bring greater dividends, but those contributions would also face a greater risk. It would be like gambling. We should not gamble with the investments and the future of the citizens of this land. – Daniel Inouye
81516. The President’s speech suggested to me that were we to follow his leadership, we will be in Iraq not for months, but for years. I also hope I am wrong on this. – Daniel Inouye
81517. One doesn’t become a soldier in a week – it takes training, study and discipline. There is no question that the finest Army in the world is found in the United States. – Daniel Inouye
81518. I hope that the mistakes made and suffering imposed upon Japanese Americans nearly 60 years ago will not be repeated against Arab Americans whose loyalties are now being called into question. – Daniel Inouye
81519. I am ready and prepared to work with the President, but I will not be a rubber stamp for any president. – Daniel Inouye
81520. Mr. Gonzales’ failure to respond to questions legitimately posed to him by the Senate raises grave doubts in my mind as to his fitness to serve the people of the United States as their Attorney General. – Daniel Inouye

81522. The National Socialist Party in Austria never tried to hide its inclination for a greater Germany. – Arthur Seyss Inquart
81523. We will smite the Jews where we meet them and whoever goes along with them must take the consequences. – Arthur Seyss Inquart
81524. What is a fish without a river? What is a bird without a tree to nest in? What is an Endangered Species Act without any enforcement mechanism to ensure their habitat is protected? It is nothing. – Jay Inslee
81525. We need to get our sons and daughters home and their responsibility for the security of Iraq needs to be assumed by Iraqis who will stand up and toe the line for their countries. – Jay Inslee
81526. Investing in industries and technology for the 21st century generates high-skilled, high-wage jobs for industries of the future. – Jay Inslee
81527. Tolerance is the value that was selected to put on here, and tolerance is as American as apple pie. – Jay Inslee
81528. Tolerance is carved into the rostrum of the U.S. House of Representatives and intolerance should not be carved into the U.S. Constitution. – Jay Inslee
81529. Third issue, and again I think it is important to note, anyone can make a mistake and any administration can make a mistake once in a while, but this is just a long train of abuses, an unbroken chain of following special interests rather than the health of the American people. – Jay Inslee
81530. Things are difficult enough about Iraq without the Federal Government suppressing the truth about Iraq. – Jay Inslee
81531. There is no excuse for this administration shielding information about Iraq and the fact that we have great difficulties there from the American people. – Jay Inslee
81532. The need to help spread democracy and the ability to do that will be much greater if we break this addiction to oil, which gives the oil princes and sultans the power in the Mideast. – Jay Inslee
81533. The fact is that we cannot drill our way to independence. We cannot drill our way to freedom, and we cannot drill our way to create jobs in this country. – Jay Inslee
81534. The 1st Congressional District contains almost half of the biotech and biomedical companies in Washington, and my job often allows me to meet the people responsible for this exciting research. – Jay Inslee
81535. So we are now still dependent on foreign oil, have a problem with global warming, and are losing jobs rapidly to the Japanese in fuel-efficient vehicles as a result of that very shortsighted progress. – Jay Inslee
81536. I reflect back 35 years ago, and look how far we have come in America with our environmental policy to improve the conditions of our air and water, and we have had some real successes. – Jay Inslee
81537. We clearly need to break our addiction on Saudi Arabian oil that is a security threat to the United States. – Jay Inslee
81538. Unfortunately, bureaucratic problems at the federal level are causing many other small Washington companies to be denied federal funding that would help transfer their ideas from their laboratories into our homes and hospitals. – Jay Inslee
81539. We consume about 25 percent of the world’s oil every year, but we only have reserves, including that which has not been pumped, of about 3 percent of the oil reserves in the world. – Jay Inslee
81540. Lincoln said that the Patent Office adds the flame of interest to the light of creativity. And that is why we need to improve the effectiveness of our Patent Office. – Jay Inslee
81541. We had some major successes and we did so because the country embraced the spirit of Earth Day and embraced this concept that we have to have forward-looking, visionary environmental policy and energy policy in this country. – Jay Inslee
81542. Renewable energy also creates more jobs than other sources of energy – most of these will be created in the struggling manufacturing sector, which will pioneer the new energy future by investment that allows manufacturers to retool and adopt new technologies and methods. – Jay Inslee
81543. If this ice melts in Greenland it can shut down the Gulf Current. – Jay Inslee
81544. I do care about the mercury contamination which this country will be experiencing because of the attempted sellout by this administration to special interests which will result in more mercury in the blood of young children in America. – Jay Inslee
81545. I am a relatively new Member to this Chamber, and it is troublesome to me and I can tell Members it is getting very troublesome to my constituents when they hear this repeated consistent drum beat of a corruption of the democratic process. – Jay Inslee
81546. Healing is a moral thing to do. – Jay Inslee
81547. President Bush’s proposal to focus our resources on sending humans to Mars is intriguing, but it is not the most compelling reason that Americans ought to focus our interest on the Red Planet. – Jay Inslee
81548. But most importantly, we can all be donors. It does not matter how old you are, your race, where you live; all of us can give the gift of life. – Jay Inslee
81549. On Earth, we still have a beautiful atmosphere that precisely maintains a thermally driven climatic system that shelters, shields and sustains our natural treasures. – Jay Inslee
81550. Because the sad fact is that the Enron Corporation and others manipulated with unfortunately great effect the energy market in the West Coast starting in 2000. – Jay Inslee
81551. Back in the mid-1970s, we adopted some fairly ambitious goals to improve efficiency of our cars. What did we get? We got a tremendous boost in efficiency. – Jay Inslee
81552. With millions of family wage manufacturing jobs lost since 2001, we need an energy bill that takes bold action to tap into American ingenuity in order to lead the world in new clean energy technology, rather than playing catch-up to the Japanese, Danish, and Germans. – Jay Inslee
81553. Like most things that happen with Sabbath, it happened all of a sudden. I was intending on doing some recording, but out of the blue, Sharon called up and said she wanted us to do these gigs with Ozzy. I said that if everybody else was up to it then I would love to do it. – Tony Iommi
81554. In the past, I’d sort of know before Ozzy sang something, what he was going to sing. I’d know what sort of way a melody was going to go ’cause of the way he’d approach it. – Tony Iommi
81555. My early influences were the Shadows, who were an English instrumental band. They basically got me into playing and later on I got into blues and jazz players. I liked Clapton when he was with John Mayall. I really liked that period. – Tony Iommi
81556. 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
81557. No society has been able to abolish human sadness, no political system can deliver us from the pain of living, from our fear of death, our thirst for the absolute. It is the human condition that directs the social condition, not vice versa. – Eugene Ionesco

81584. I have never considered myself a poet. I have no interest in poetic artistry. – Muhammad Iqbal

81644. Some of those men in power, we just have to change their faces because we’re not going to change their minds. – Patricia Ireland
81645. Some of us may just, in one-on-one conversations with our family, with our friends, over the back fence with our neighbors, talk about the reality of our lives and realize that we’re not alone, that we have a right to be physically safe and emotionally safe in our own homes. – Patricia Ireland

81647. Is a woman raped every three minutes or every six minutes? It is far too much, whatever it is. – Patricia Ireland

81649. I just have that sense this is the reason we got Sandra Day O’Connor on the Court in the first place is because Ronald Reagan was running for President. – Patricia Ireland

81651. The opposition has moved from a blaming the victim to blaming the victim’s advocate’s statistics. Irrespective of what the numbers are, it’s far too many. – Patricia Ireland

81668. We have to stop this violence. We have to make the political nature of the violence clear, that the violence we experience in our own homes is not a personal family matter, it’s a public and political problem. It’s a way that women are kept in line, kept in our places. – Patricia Ireland
81669. We may be in a tough time right now, but when we are in a tough time is when our movement gets really strong. – Patricia Ireland
81670. When I hear traditional family values raised, I hear that effort once again to re-establish the man as head and master of his family. Who had the, not only the right, but the obligation to discipline his wife and children to keep them in line? – Patricia Ireland
81671. When I started law school I was shocked to learn that our legal system traditionally had the man as the head and master of the family. As late as the ’70s and ’80s when we were fighting for the Equal Rights Amendment, states like Louisiana still had a head and master law. – Patricia Ireland
81672. Women are called upon to defend every bit of progress we have made against particularly virulent attack. But we must also hold out a vision, put forth a positive agenda of what women need and want and then move forward toward that dream. – Patricia Ireland

81675. I think getting the rest of the guys in the band to write is important. – Donnie Iris

81680. We were playing a small club in San Diego and the power had gone out in the building. Eddie had a lighter and kept us lit backstage. We became very good friends and spent a lot of time together including hearing Eddie sing in some of the bands he was in at the time. – Jack Irons

81686. I began the process of recording myself seriously in the fall of 1999. If I could finish an album of my own music, I would. Five years later I am happy to say I have. – Jack Irons

81689. After wrestling with myself for six months, I began medical treatment. During that time I started a band with some friends of mine called Jack’s Car, but that didn’t last. – Jack Irons
81690. I had wanted to play drums since the age of 9 when I saw a drum set in the window of a music store for the first time. We took lessons at a local music school and began playing together after about 6-9 months of lessons. – Jack Irons
81691. It was about this time that I began experiencing the beginnings of my battles with an anxiety disorder. We were touring a lot and there were some developing personal problems within the band. – Jack Irons
81692. What I try to do as an actor is constantly find that, find ways to risk, find opportunities to fall on my face if it’s going to be worth it, and then maybe I’ll surprise myself. – Jeremy Irons
81693. It’s always great to play a man who sets himself up to be punctured. – Jeremy Irons

81697. Now in my theater training I showed no aptitude at all. – Jeremy Irons
81698. Paris Hilton, that’s very interesting what she did. I’ve never done that. I haven’t really sort of ever got into that. As time passes, maybe I should record it and put it in a vault so that when I get a little old don’t have the energy I can remember how life used to be. – Jeremy Irons
81699. So I continued through my next school, which takes me up to the age of 17, moving from the bottom stream of one year into the bottom stream of the next year, all the way through. I showed other talents which gave me self-respect, which is fine. – Jeremy Irons
81700. So nevertheless, what I’m saying is that what one is – one’s parameters are constantly narrowed by one’s success, and my desire is to widen my field even if I risk failure. – Jeremy Irons
81701. The sad thing about any business I suppose, but in mine you see it particularly, is that you’re always asked to do what you’ve already done. – Jeremy Irons
81702. We all have our time machines. Some take us back, they’re called memories. Some take us forward, they’re called dreams. – Jeremy Irons
81703. I was the youngest. The yule lamb. The one who always got away without doing the washing up. My sister was four years older, and my brother six years. – Jeremy Irons
81704. A trip to the mainland was a big event and happened maybe once a year, although now you can get across in a speed boat in seven minutes but then it was a long way away. – Jeremy Irons

81706. I was not naturally intellectual, but somebody whose interest had to be whetted, still the case sadly. – Jeremy Irons
81707. I think I would not be described as a character actor in that I don’t take on characteristics which are very alien to me. – Jeremy Irons
81708. I succeeded on sort of chutzpah and charm. No technique at all, didn’t know what I was doing, but it worked and the character suited me. – Jeremy Irons
81709. I liked the theater. I liked the people. I liked the time that we worked. – Jeremy Irons
81710. I had done a fair bit of traveling during the holidays in my school days with my guitar and discovered that I could live on it. Admittedly, I traveled with a sleeping bag but I could always find somewhere to lay my head. – Jeremy Irons
81711. I envy children who know that they’re going to become doctors, know they’re going to go into the forces or whatever. I think choice is one of the hardest things, but that’s what I try to give my children, to say you can do anything. – Jeremy Irons
81712. I constantly experience failure in that my work is never as good as I want it to be. So I live with failure. – Jeremy Irons
81713. However, I wasn’t very good at the sciences, or didn’t have a lot of help in the sciences or something but certainly didn’t set science for my A level. And when I came to take my A levels I didn’t get a good enough result to go to University. – Jeremy Irons
81714. Godspell was a good leap for me, it was a good shop window. – Jeremy Irons
81715. At age 10 or 12 he’s going to boarding school in the Isle of Wight. The Isle of Wight is, of course, down at the bottom of England just off South Hampton. – Jeremy Irons
81716. And trust, yes, which is important, but that is what I aim towards. Now that is difficult for some people, and with that desire to get things as good as possible, I would say that I’m probably regarded as quite prickly to work with. – Jeremy Irons
81717. An acting assistant stage manager in a theater in Canterbury, a rep theater. A small wage but just enough to get by on, and I made props and I walked on, and I changed scenery, and I realized that I just loved it. – Jeremy Irons
81718. Actors often behave like children, and so we’re taken for children. I want to be grown up. – Jeremy Irons
81719. And whenever I’m in a situation where I’m wearing the same as 600 other people and doing the same thing as 600 other people, looking back, I always found ways to make myself different, whether it be having a red lining inside of my jacket, having red shoes, it hasn’t changed. – Jeremy Irons
81720. Americans enjoy uniformity in a way that the British don’t; they wanted everybody of a sort of nice chorus line height and here I was, this person who was a good three inches taller than anyone else on the end of the line. – Jeremy Irons
81721. Because I’m now successful, what I’m being offered as an actor is more and more of the same. – Jeremy Irons

81729. People who get involved with the success of something have to be given at least some share of that success. – Michael Ironside
81730. When I was in art college, I would be painting, and I would create something on a canvas that was actually quite attractive. But if I got frightened and tried to protect that, that canvas would die. – Michael Ironside
81731. I ended up an actor, did my first professional union gig in 1974, and I’ve been doing it ever since. – Michael Ironside
81732. People are either enamored with me or wonder if they can take me. – Michael Ironside
81733. The whole thing means such a great deal for me, and hopefully one day it will be there. But my friends and my family mean a little more. I would rather be helping them, even if it hurts that. – Michael Irvin

81735. I am going to do everything I can to clear my name. – Michael Irvin

81737. I didn’t always know, but I always wanted to. I always wanted to be the very best receiver the Cowboys ever had. That was my goal coming in as a rookie and my goal throughout my career: being the best they ever had, going up in the Ring of Honor. – Michael Irvin
81738. I know the type of demons they have to fight and I am going to help them, because it’s the only way I can keep them from getting to my family. I have to clean up my friends because they are around my boys. It’s upsetting. – Michael Irvin
81739. I understand people have doubts, but I’m totally clean. – Michael Irvin
81740. I’m taking T.O., every day… He gives me the whole football field. – Michael Irvin
81741. You made it something special. Most of all, I want to thank the fans for your support not through the great times that we shared on the football field, but for the last 17 years of my life. You have supported me through all times. – Michael Irvin
81742. I am the original… Those are my disciples. – Michael Irvin
81743. ‘Through the times I’ve gone through the last couple of weeks – and I’m still trying to help a friend – I got attacked pretty hard through the media, and it hurt and it was devastating, but I really found out who was with me and who was there for me. – Michael Irvin
81744. We all want to thank Emmitt for allowing us to enjoy every yard. – Michael Irvin
81745. We looked at each other standing on the podium, and I think we all were tearing up. But we had to keep it cool. I think we did. Then we let out a breath. – Michael Irvin

81747. I’m no superman. – Michael Irvin
81748. In the U.S., with very few exceptions, actresses older than 35 are simply discarded. – Amy Irving
81749. When my career first began, I didn’t have children – so there’s a whole lot of difference in the way I choose roles now. Not just films for my children, but how long I’m going to be away, and is Dad going to be home while I’m gone. That sort-of factor plays a part. – Amy Irving
81750. I will argue my points; I will have my opinions. But at the end of the day, it’s the director’s choice. – Amy Irving
81751. I used to travel in tennis shoes; I am just not allowed to anymore. I’m an old hippie from San Francisco. – Amy Irving
81752. I thought that my movie career was finished. I was quite happy to dedicate myself 100% to the theater. Surprisingly enough, I’ve never gotten so many work offers. It’s so exciting, this feeling of a new beginning after 40. – Amy Irving
81753. And you know, the baby boomers are getting older, and those off the rack clothes are just not fitting right any longer, and so, tailor-made suits are coming back into fashion. – Amy Irving
81754. You walk off the plane in Rio, and your blood temperature goes up. The feel of the wind on your face, the water on your skin, the taste of the food, the music, the sexuality; Brazilians are very comfortable in their sexuality. – Amy Irving
81755. I became chairman of the inmates committee. Got into a lot of trouble. Was accused of fomenting a riot. Was accused of plotting to kill the warden. – Clifford Irving
81756. I was on a train of lies. I couldn’t jump off. – Clifford Irving

81763. The Evangelical party in the Church of Scotland will lay all flat if they be not prevented. – Edward Irving

81767. Into thy hands, O Lord. Into thy hands. – Henry Irving
81768. You speak into it and everything is recorded, voice, tone, intonation, everything. You turn a little wheel, and forth it comes, and can be repeated ten thousand times. Only fancy what this suggests. – Henry Irving
81769. I had been a student in Vienna, and one of the neat little things I had found out was about that zoo. It was a good debut novel for me to have published. I was 26 or 27 when it was published. I already had a kid and would soon have a second. – John Irving
81770. You don’t want to dwell on your enemies, you know. I basically feel so superior to my critics for the simple reason that they haven’t done what I do. Most book reviewers haven’t written 11 novels. Many of them haven’t written one. – John Irving
81771. And I don’t want to begin something, I don’t want to write that first sentence until all the important connections in the novel are known to me. As if the story has already taken place, and it’s my responsibility to put it in the right order to tell it to you. – John Irving
81772. And I find – I’m 63, and my capacity to be by myself and just spend time by myself hasn’t diminished any. That’s the necessary part of being a writer, you better like being alone. – John Irving
81773. Good habits are worth being fanatical about. – John Irving
81774. Half my life is an act of revision. – John Irving
81775. I don’t begin a novel or a screenplay until I know the ending. And I don’t mean only that I have to know what happens. I mean that I have to hear the actual sentences. I have to know what atmosphere the words convey. – John Irving
81776. Sometimes that’s a year, sometimes it’s 18 months, where all I’m doing is taking notes. I’m reconstructing the story from the back to the front so that I know where the front is. – John Irving
81777. Your memory is a monster; you forget – it doesn’t. It simply files things away. It keeps things for you, or hides things from you – and summons them to your recall with a will of its own. You think you have a memory; but it has you! – John Irving
81778. You’ve got to get obsessed and stay obsessed. – John Irving
81779. You know, people think you have to be dumb to skip rope for 45 minutes. No, you have to be able to imagine something else. While you’re skipping rope, you have to be able to see something else. – John Irving

81781. You can’t learn everything you need to know legally. – John Irving
81782. When I was still in prep school – 14, 15 – I started keeping notebooks, journals. I started writing, almost like landscape drawing or life drawing. I never kept a diary, I never wrote about my day and what happened to me, but I described things. – John Irving
81783. To each other, we were as normal and nice as the smell of bread. We were just a family. In a family even exaggerations make perfect sense. – John Irving

81789. More than a half, maybe as much as two-thirds of my life as a writer is rewriting. I wouldn’t say I have a talent that’s special. It strikes me that I have an unusual kind of stamina. – John Irving
81790. If you are lucky enough to find a way of life you love, you have to find the courage to live it. – John Irving
81791. I’ve always been a fan of the 19th century novel, of the novel that is plotted, character-driven, and where the passage of time is almost as central to the novel as a major minor character, the passage of time and its effect on the characters in the story. – John Irving
81792. I think the sport of wrestling, which I became involved with at the age of 14… I competed until I was 34, kind of old for a contact sport. I coached the sport until I was 47. I think the discipline of wrestling has given me the discipline I have to write. – John Irving
81793. I take people very seriously. People are all I take seriously, in fact. Therefore, I have nothing but sympathy for how people behave – and nothing but laughter to console them with. – John Irving

81802. Kindness in women, not their beauteous looks, shall win my love. – Washington Irving

81804. I’ve had it with you and your emotional constipation! – Washington Irving
81805. I am always at a loss at how much to believe of my own stories. – Washington Irving

81853. If you’re not just a little bit nervous before a match, you probably don’t have the expectations of yourself that you should have. – Hale Irwin

81876. You know, I’m Australian, and we have got the worst sense of humor. We are cruel to each other. – Steve Irwin
81877. Yeah, I’m a thrill seeker, but crikey, education’s the most important thing. – Steve Irwin
81878. Yeah, I think it’s an absolute disaster that Australia, the government, allowed kangaroo culling. – Steve Irwin
81879. Yeah, for some reason parrots have to bite me. That’s their job. I don’t know why that is. They’ve nearly torn my nose off. I’ve had some really bad parrot bites. – Steve Irwin
81880. Where I live if someone gives you a hug it’s from the heart. – Steve Irwin

81886. That might have a lot to do with it, but you know, I probably don’t show fear, but I suffer from fear like everyone else. – Steve Irwin
81887. Take the crocodile, for example, my favorite animal. There are 23 species. Seventeen of those species are rare or endangered. They’re on the way out, no matter what anyone does or says, you know. – Steve Irwin
81888. So, my tactic with conservation of apex predators is to get people excited and take them to where they live. – Steve Irwin
81889. So now what happens is the cameras follow me around and capture exactly what I’ve been doing since I was a boy. Only now we have a team of, you know, like 73 of us, and it’s gone beyond that. – Steve Irwin
81890. So fear helps me from making mistakes, but I make lot of mistakes. – Steve Irwin
81891. Snakes are just very instinctive to me. I’ve been playing with snakes since before I could walk. It doesn’t matter where or what it is, from the biggest to the most venomous. – Steve Irwin
81892. We’ve evolved from sitting back on our tripods and shooting wildlife films like they have been shot historically, which doesn’t work for us. – Steve Irwin

81894. I can’t tell you too much about it because I’m not even meant to tell you that I’m in it. In fact, I might never work again now that I’ve been talking to you. I’m not in it for very long, let’s put it that way. – Jason Isaacs

81896. I don’t know if it’s a romantic comedy but I’m in the beginning of the first of the season of “The West Wing.” We shot it last year. I don’t know. If anyone asks me to be in one, I’ll jump on it. – Jason Isaacs

81899. One thing, when you’re an actor, you finish something and then you have to worry about what the next gig is. When you’re a musician, you can always write your own stuff, and I’m working on new stuff for a new album right now. – Chris Isaak
81900. The things that got me through grade school are helping me out later in life. It’s like, I show up on time. If you buy a ticket to one of my shows, I’ll show up. I’ll be there. And if it says 10:00, I’ll be on stage at 10:00. – Chris Isaak
81901. We must do a better job of educating all drivers to be safer on the road. – Johnny Isakson
81902. My submission to you is we’re fighting the war on terror not overseas but in our own streets, and we’d be spending vast more fortunes to try to be a defensive country to protect ourselves rather than an offensive country to spread democracy wherever people yearn for it. – Johnny Isakson

81905. I heard someone in opposition to reform last night criticize the president for saying it’s their money. They said it’s not their money; it’s my mother’s money. Well that’s what’s wrong with the system. – Johnny Isakson

81908. I’ll bet Shakespeare compromised himself a lot; anybody who’s in the entertainment industry does to some extent. – Christopher Isherwood
81909. What irritates me is the bland way people go around saying, ‘Oh, our attitude has changed. We don’t dislike these people any more.’ But by the strangest coincidence, they haven’t taken away the injustice; the laws are still on the books. – Christopher Isherwood

81915. All children have to be deceived if they are to grow up without trauma. – Kazuo Ishiguro
81916. As a writer, I’m more interested in what people tell themselves happened rather than what actually happened. – Kazuo Ishiguro
81917. I couldn’t speak Japanese very well, passport regulations were changing, I felt British, and my future was in Britain. And it would also make me eligible for literary awards. But I still think I’m regarded as one of their own in Japan. – Kazuo Ishiguro
81918. People were incredibly kind to our family and went out of their way to help. – Kazuo Ishiguro
81919. I felt slightly superior to student politics, for instance. I had no reason to think this, but I thought of myself as slightly more seasoned. I became quite cynical talking to my student friends. – Kazuo Ishiguro
81920. I think I had actually served my apprenticeship as a writer of fiction by writing all those songs. I had already been through phases of autobiographical or experimental stuff. – Kazuo Ishiguro
81921. I was a little concerned that a lot of people thought I wrote Merchant Ivory movies. I also thought if I was ever going to write something strange and difficult, that was the time. – Kazuo Ishiguro
81922. The world is crawling with authors touring now. They’re like performance artists. – Kazuo Ishiguro
81923. I do feel part of that generation of people who were rather idealistic in the ’70s and became disillusioned in the ’80s. Not just about social services issues, but the world. – Kazuo Ishiguro
81924. When you become a parent, or a teacher, you turn into a manager of this whole system. You become the person controlling the bubble of innocence around a child, regulating it. – Kazuo Ishiguro
81925. When I got to 40 or so… I had the sense when I looked back over my life I would actually see a mess of decisions, a few of which I had thought about, some of which I had sort of stumbled on, and many that I had no control over whatsoever. – Kazuo Ishiguro
81926. What is difficult is the promotion, balancing the public side of a writer’s life with the writing. I think that’s something a lot of writers are having to face. Writers have become much more public now. – Kazuo Ishiguro
81927. There’s a practical problem about time and energy, and a more subtle problem of what it does to a writer’s head, to continually analyze why they write, where it all comes from, where it’s going to. – Kazuo Ishiguro
81928. Our family arrived in England in 1960. At that time I thought the war was ancient history. But if I think of 15 years ago from now, that’s 1990, and that seems like yesterday to me. – Kazuo Ishiguro
81929. There are things I am more interested in than the clone thing. How are they trying to find their place in the world and make sense of their lives? To what extent can they transcend their fate? As time starts to run out, what are the things that really matter? – Kazuo Ishiguro
81930. If you look at my last songs and first short stories, there is a real connection between them. – Kazuo Ishiguro
81931. The book was at a reasonably high position on the New York Times… before I was in the country. I thought it would be an interesting experiment to see if my presence here would push it up or down. – Kazuo Ishiguro

81934. Now when I look back to the Guildford of that time, it seems far more exotic to me than Nagasaki. – Kazuo Ishiguro

81937. There was another life that I might have had, but I am having this one. – Kazuo Ishiguro

81942. We also quoted Robert Luskin, Rove’s attorney, acknowledging that Rove did speak to Cooper late on the week prior to the article coming out, which would have been July 10 or 11. – Michael Isikoff
81943. Some of the best stories that I’ve gotten, that others have written about this administration, about the previous administration, you have to rely on anonymous sources. – Michael Isikoff
81944. Potentially significant, by the way, because we don’t know exactly what’s in Matt Cooper’s notes, and we don’t know – and we don’t still know the answer to the crucial question of whether it was Rove or somebody else that revealed Valerie Plame’s name to him. – Michael Isikoff
81945. No, I did not offer to resign for a second. – Michael Isikoff

81961. You can be sure that I will always consider how changes to Social Security will impact people with disabilities when considering the various proposals offered for reform. – Steve Israel

81965. Because there still exists a significant pay gap, women tend to earn less than men over the course of their lifetimes. Compounding the problem, women tend to spend less time in the workforce than men. – Steve Israel

81974. It’s very simple. If the American people care about a lot of things including corruption in government, then, in fact, if you use the power to appoint in order to do political business, to clear fields, to save your party money and so on, if it’s not a crime – and I believe it is – it certainly is business as usual, politics of corruption. – Darrell Issa
