When I write a book... it's the same essential approach to music as with books. It has to be something I want to hear or read. Hopefully the audience comes along, since that's the only way you can write righteously. I have to ask, 'What do I want to hear?' not 'What do people want to hear?'

A lack of government oversight hasn't hindered the Internet. Quite the opposite. A hands-off approach is largely responsible for its fantastic growth and success.

Another parent's different approach raises the possibility that you've made a mistake with your child.

My approach to photography is through the ability to have a rapport with people.

My approach to this project is to try and make it very community-friendly so whether you've danced in the past or you've never danced before you will be comfortable and welcomed in any one of the workshops.

One of the reasons we chose API was their phased approach to implementation. We get immediate control in phase one by eliminating paper and moving it electronically in the organization while getting familiar with the new processes that will be instituted in the following phases. It gives us a chance to develop and automate optimized business rules for Network F.O.B.

One of the saddest things a creator has to deal with in this industry is when a product is now impossible to play. Not because it's a bad game, but because the platform doesn't exist anymore. We've been prolific trying to bring back landmark products, and our approach in the past has been to update the graphics. But I think this time we did the right thing. Command & Conquer is an event, it's one of the most successful franchises ever done, and it would be very inappropriate to modify it.

When the idea came up to drive in the DP with Pat I was thrilled. I am just elated that Porsche has looked at the big picture and realized this is a great experience for me. And I am very grateful to Pat for the experience. This is my first time driving in any kind of prototype. I'm looking forward to learning this weekend as much as I am having fun. Both Pat and I are going to take a calm, methodical approach and just soak it all up and enjoy the experience.

But, my main objective is to win with Porsche in the GT classes.

When I approach a band, I want to respect them and be respectful of their music. I'm not gonna say, 'Look, you guys are real hot, so we'll stick you in the movie, and we'll get it in all these stores and all these stations.' That isn't right.

One lesson I've learned (in this production) is that the real gospel message of the cross, the blood and the resurrection is as powerful as it ever was, but the way it is presented from one generation to the next is vitally different. This being a sight and sound generation, we have to go more toward the dramatic and tech approach to get their interest.

Then tell them you'll sit down and reevaluate it at the end of the trial period.

Obviously, our ability to predict future sales and earnings has not been borne out by experience so far this year, ... We need to adopt a wait-and-see approach to the rest of the year. The holiday season is always very important to us but it is really the key to a successful year this time out.

I don't feel squeezed. I just feel like I just have to take care of what I can take care of. There are limited opportunities out there with the first group. It's take care of your own. I can't worry about what the next guy is doing. Let the cards fall where they may and that's how you have to approach it.

I don't get too caught up in setting records. My entire approach this season has been about learning, gaining experience and getting better. If I tie or set rookie records great, but I am much more concerned about ending this season on a high note. The best note I can think of would be to win one of these final three races.
