Project Quotations | Page 2

I was not a project manager who was managing and executing the day-to-day operational work of building HealthCare.gov. I didn't have the kind of comprehensive, detailed, deep knowledge of that project that a manager would have.

When the Americans are behind you, they're behind you 100%, and this gives you real confidence as an architect. They expect you to lead a building project - to make the kind of big and costly decisions that, in Britain, have been handed over to project managers and cost-cutters.

With a book, you're guaranteed the audience has a certain skill level and that the audience has to make an ongoing effort to consume this product and that the project is being consumed by just one person at a time. I really want to play to that strength because it's one of the few advantages books still have.

We perceive through our senses a person, a situation or an event, and in an instant, we project our mental models - our fears, background and experiences - onto that perception. This often results in cognitive errors, which means we judge and respond incorrectly.

All the money that's donated to the Trevor Project provides resources that directly affect the youth that actually watch my videos. It's a cool thing to see them basically provide resources for each other.

Because it flew without a pilot, the D-21 was designed to fly over territory where the U.S. was denied access and to take photographs of weapons facilities from altitudes as low as 1,500 feet. But the project was canceled on July 30, 1966, after a fatal accident at sea during the drone's first official launch.

But I also think that the more you reason collectively about what the project should be at the beginning of the process, the more you can improvise later.

The federal government has never created one job that is sustainable long term. It creates government project work but not creating real work where people are.

Eventually, the state's funding covered only the stages leading to presenting a film project to potential funding bodies. It was enough to produce a script, indicate casting and put together a budget to present it all, but nothing beyond that.

There's a project that I started at HHS called the Health Data Initiative. The whole idea was to take a page from what the government had done to make weather data and GPS available back in the day.

What I discovered in Berlin was this immense freedom because it felt like you could start any kind of project and nobody would care... and that's what I sort of adopted to my own.

We need a leader able to project his or her personality and present our policies in today's media environment. All this is true - but we also need a leader capable of building a team, inspiring loyalty from colleagues, and one genuinely open to ideas.

If the United States commits to the goal of reaching Mars, it will almost certainly do so in reaction to the progress of other nations - as was the case with NASA, the Apollo program, and the project that became the International Space Station.

Since I did the SK Project and I partner with the United Nations World Food Program, I got a lot of different feedback from people online. Through social networks and through the Twitter. I read the comments and see 'em saying, 'People hungry here, Fif.'

I approach each project with a new insecurity, almost like the first project I ever did, and I get the sweats, I go in and start working, I'm not sure where I'm going.

I spend a lot of time working by myself developing songs, but I really need some other counterpart to help me pull it all together, because you go nuts working if I had to finish an entire project all within my own head.

Everybody faces a blank piece of paper, no matter what they've written or painted or composed before. I can't imagine approaching every single new project with-without doubt.

I'm a designer, producer and I am hands-on for every project I undertake. The creative side of what I do is really something I think people overlooked for a while.

Expect the best, plan for the worst, and prepare to be surprised.

A good project but a poor director will always make a mediocre film, but an average script and good director can make a good film, as he will put in everything to make the film look good.

The project of Ralph Ellison's 'Invisible Man' is exactly that: to assert the beautiful, bountiful, chaotic complexity of one black American male. And, by extension, all black American males.

Let's get with it, guys: You don't need to hear a Ministry song to get political. You should be political on your own. We're just a side project to society. So do I care what people think about me personally? No. I just do what I do.

Barack Obama has brought glamour back to American politics - not the faux glamour-by-association of campaigning with movie stars or sailing with the Kennedys, but the real thing. The candidate himself is glamorous. Audiences project onto him the personal qualities and political positions they want in a president.

It'd be great to be in a position where you can make choices regardless of money. My tastes are always gonna lead me to go for the amazing project where I'm being paid in Turkish cantaloupes.

A creative project is a moving target. You never end up where you start.

The Project Angel Food Program's mission is to nourish the body and spirit of men, women and children affected by HIV/AIDS and other serious illness. The Project Angel Food Program delivers free and nutritious meals prepared with love. We act out of a sense of urgency because hunger and illness cannot wait.

Thrilled to be part of this new project Generation Nature and just encouraging kids to change the world.

I don't take on a project unless I know the end result is going to make me happy. If I can't give 100 percent to something, I choose not to do it because it's very difficult to have so many pots on the fire at one time.

These are all personal crises, I'm sure, that I manifest in a song format and project into physical situations. You make little stories up about how you feel. It's as simple as that.

The way I work: I pick a country. I learn the political history - I mean I really learn it; I read until it sinks in. Once I read the political history, I can project and find the clandestine history. And then I people it with the characters.

It is an honor for me to take part in Canon's Project Imagin8ion, partnering with a brand that is empowering young filmmakers and is at the forefront of technology.

I mean I have a project that I have been wanting to make for quite a while now; and basically, it's a story of my parents growing up in the Lower East Side.

I'd like to see Apple and Dell factories be brought to the inner cities; in every project in America, there's some factory there, and it's abandoned, and I'd like to see those factories open and bring jobs to America.

We have the power to make things new again. To project American strength again, to get our economy going again.

There is a project that's underway called the interplanetary Internet. It's in operation between Earth and Mars. It's operating on the International Space Station. It's part of the spacecraft that's in orbit around the Sun that's rendezvoused with two planets.

My background for obtaining these ideas was uh, there was a I went to the school at Berkeley and there was a thing called Project Genie at Berkeley.

My background is pretty evenly split between journalism, databases and computer programming, and this was an opportunity to combine all three. My goal for the project was to create a useful resource for Chicagoans.

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. This is a wonderful opportunity for dancers and non-dancers alike to experience the joy of movement and to also experience how community can be strengthened through movement.

One of the privileges of helping to pay for this massive project is you can order beer.

One of the hopes of Overture was to spur redevelopment along State Street. This is a good step in that direction. This is a very attractive project that continues the revitalization of Downtown. Hopefully, there's more where this came from.

One thing I really like about the job is that we have a very clear path to betterment of the general public. If our project succeeds, and we're able to place payloads in orbit much cheaper than we do now, a lot of people win. We'll get a lot more research in space.

Personally, I think everyone on the Lakeshore Committee breathed a sigh of relief once this project was completed. Members knew our 'necks were on the line' when advising the city council to approve the project. And it barely passed the city council by one vote.

Port Symphonies is more of a composing project rather than a conducting project. The score is written in time, in seconds. The notes translate to ship horn on, then ship horn off.

One of the most important things about this project is that it is a partnership. Our major goal as an institution is to maintain our relevance to the region, state and country.

One of the good things about the public Human Genome Project is that the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Institutes of Health spent a part of their budget on the ethical, legal, and social implications of their research.

One of the reasons the Council originally objected to the Landmark project was that the applicant did not provide a shoring plan indicating how the hillside would be stabilized during the excavation. A shoring plan is still not available. If they start excavating they could trigger a slide. With temporary shoring we could at least know how they are going to hold that hill up there.

One of the reasons we did this project is that in 10 years many of these people won't be here.

One of the key components of the Fruit Belt project is to get all of the properties up to date in terms of their aesthetics, ... The building is long overdue for some work.

I was searching for a project that really captured the American spirit,

If we don't have any change orders or time extensions, the project is supposed to be completed by the first of May. We have a very good contractor for this job and we are excited that we are finally kicking this project off.

I would be in support of that. I would only ask that we do it after we finish the project we've planned.

I would be very troubled about how to deliver the project without active support from the city.

Life is a do-it-yourself project and we Jack Kevorkian-ed ourselves tonight. It was assisted suicide.

Let Project Quest get back to work and train the citizens of San Antonio.

Like a traveler encountering a succession of mountain ranges we found the scope of our project seeming to expand with every step we took.

Manhattan Associates was ahead of the curve in being able to show us how its RFID solutions would meet our needs. With the help of Manhattan Associates' project team, the implementation was smooth and came in under budget. Shire is poised and ready to meet upcoming retail requirements.

Of all the measures to be taken in building the new socialist countryside, the national fitness project is one that needs the smallest investment but will produce an instant effect.

Obviously, we're competing against a city's hockey team. We're offering a project that is the redevelopment of a neighborhood, which is much different in scope than a new arena with a casino.

One of the things that's been nice about my career is that I've been able to do so many different things, and variety keeps your creative soul fulfilled. I'm constantly looking to find new things to do. It's just project to project for me. You never know where the next thing's going to come from.

One of the things that stands out about this project is how it was funded.

One of the things I've always tried to do as president of the (Penn Hills) PTA is to get everyone moving in the same direction, no matter what the project was.

One project I identified last year as a potential source of new revenue through a joint venture with a private firm to construct a planned community on university property stalled, but still has potential.

One project on the drawing board, and it may very well be the first thing that we'll be moving, is our diagnostic imaging department.

Neither traditional ERP applications nor project planning software is designed to meet these needs. Making low-volume prototypes and managing a complex array of suppliers, designers, and marketing initiatives requires software that can link all these activities together within a project planning framework.

One very important secondary set of skills people learn is how to manage a large-scale project with a globally distributed team, usually made up of people from different cultures and different countries,

More than half of all homes are not adequately insulated. Insulating a poorly insulated house is a project that will pay off pretty quickly.

My desire for my own sitcom began as a little girl - I spent hours lying on my belly on the shag carpeting getting lost in the world of the '70s sitcom. All I wanted to do was run away to the Brady house, The Partridge Family bus; even the project on 'Good Times' seemed better than Clark, NJ.

My desire is to see the project go forward. There have been too many good people that have put a lot of trust and faith in this process. God willing, it will materialize in some fashion.

My concern is that this project has gone too far without having this meeting three years ago.

My crusade since I came here four years ago was to better understand where television is going and what television means to the next generation. Trace it back to its origins. Television wasn't a box in a living room; it was technology to project an image from a distance.

My current project is science fiction, really ambitious I think. But again, it's a matter, to some extent, of what you can do, accepting limitations.

My first jobs after graduation in 1955 were as a project engineer for G.E. and later with the U.S. government in Washington, D.C., where I met and married my wife, Dolores Celini.

No, they really don't have much to do with Fozzy. I didn't want it be a WWE project, it's a Chris Jericho project and I've done it all on my own the whole time. It's more of a good faith thing that they help me promote the shows that I have scheduled.

Now, thanks to Utah, we have 22 moose. With this project we have the potential of doubling that number.

Now that the Big Dig project is winding down, the T has to work hard to attract customers that may go back to driving.

Now that the restoration project is completed and the new plantings have begun to take hold, the restoration will look as natural as other parts of our park that have been so wonderfully preserved.

Now try to separate that in your mind from a person who owns hundreds of acres of land, and is now extending a water main through that tract, and still hasn't really thought out exactly the project he's going to build. Why would the extension of that utility vest development rights at that time?

No, I'm just trying to get them to help fund the project like we would expect anyone to do on a development project, ... If we annexed some property some place, we'd expect the developer to pay for that. I don't see where this is any different ...

right before the final runway show taped for (her Bravo style series) Project Runway , and I loved having a quiet minute with Michael.

Retrofits and clean fuels offer clear benefits for regional air quality and provide cleaner environments for children as they travel to and from school. The Adams County District 12 project would not have been as successful without Pauline's leadership and significant personal contribution to EPA's National Clean Diesel Campaign.

My first project was to build an ionization gauge control circuit for Professor Edgar Everhart's Cockcroft-Walton accelerator. In those days, vacuum tubes were the active components in electronic circuits. I can still recall the warm orange glow of the vacuum tube filaments and the cool blue glow of the thyratron tubes.

My friend needed to do a project where he brought together a variety of musical styles. At that time we had a few horn players in our group and it was sort of a jazz project. When we heard about opportunity, I gave Mo and Apollo a call and what we came up with sounded awesome.

My feeling is that it is a project that is progressing and developing successfully.

My film career is in no way being placed on hold, but we all know how long it can take to get a film project off the ground.

My issue with this is, this is a $2 million project on a road that doesn't really need much work - except maybe some minor repair. And it's going to take until October to fix. This is going to put a lot of people at a major inconvenience - and a lot of local businesses are going to be affected by this, too.

I have been working on this project trying to record a little record a month just at home in a different genre for each one,

I have been really enjoying making a project out of seeking out an extremely healthy diet of raw, organic, vegan foods - and I plan on continuing to do so.

I grew up in a single family household and when you decide to go to the wall on your first project you really want to go with material that you're passionate about and I think that is one of the reasons I felt so compelled to make this film.

I'd like to say we're visionaries, but we're really just following the momentum. What's really made this project work is City Park.

I'd made this naive little documentary about the real Burt Munro, very early in my film-making career, and this character always stuck with me. I thought, 'God, what a great subject for a feature film!' And it's a project that I've been keeping on the back burner ever since.

I did 'Red Riding,' which is TV in the U.K. It became a feature project in North America, but we're in a great era of TV. We all know that, and we hear it all the time, but for filmmakers, it's just a godsend to have your television writing and work to do on television, and the means to do it properly.

If we could deliver the current transport plan that would be great -- we didn't deliver the last one. We need to see better project management of large public infrastructure projects.

If we can move our project forward with the help of the vibrant Twin Cities construction industry, there's nothing I'd like more than to see our ready-to assemble structures on a barge heading down the Mississippi to New Orleans to help address that region's ongoing housing crisis.

If we can raise the money in a couple of weeks, or a couple of months, that's great, we'll get started on the project right away. If the fund-raising goes more slowly, we may need to look at other things the hospital can do to help. That might mean providing a bus for transporting dialysis patients back and forth to Sioux City.

If things go according to schedule and we have good weather to work, we could be finished with the entire project by 2008.

If they squish what we want to build down to four stories, it's a signal that there's no willingness to have this project done in Howell.

If they start advocating tax rises and take a stand against nuclear power, there will start to be serious resistance. It's fine if the whole project seems to be working; people who're upset will shut up. But if it's not working, it could really become a serious problem.

I don't know that it is so much how someone else is going to read you, but more a matter of how you are going to project yourself, and psych your own attitudes.

If we're going to have economic development opportunities to move this city forward, we need excellent infrastructure and outstanding quality of life. This project solves both of those problems.

Last year the Parish Nurses received grant funding to do a drug prevention education calendar. The Scouts did a pilot project by doing several small presentations and having students do drawings. Calendars were made and distributed to elementary schools in Derby, Seymour and Oxford.
