John Taylor Quotations

Music City is Music City wherever you are in the city. The Nashville Palace gives us a place to take the young acts we develop downtown and take them to a bigger stage.

Nintendo has a very interesting opportunity, if they choose to use it, to get a larger market share of the older audience, ... Nintendo has always had the core audience of younger players. At this time during other console launches, they've had a business plan that was less attractive for third-party publishers. This time around, the model is real similar to Xbox and Sony. My sense is you're going to see more third-party support, which gives them a bigger shot at that older audience.

Nintendo is the Disney of the interactive world with its characters, ... They have an incredibly strong library of titles.

one boss who oversees the city's day-to-day activities.

No one wants something like this to happen. The fact is we are absolutely focused on restoring service to our customers ... and in this case we did so in record time.

Richard Nixon never raised a hand to Mrs. Nixon, ... Their affection and respect for one another is well known to all who knew them. It is inconceivable that he would have struck her for any reason. No family member or close friend has ever reported witnessing such behavior. The book contains no evidence, only rumor and second- and third-hand hearsay by the dead.

I'd like to some day get them in tandem.

I don't know why Gene feels that he's been somewhat overshadowed in the last few years. We think both men deserve credit. They're both towering figures in the history of consumer electronics.

Low self-esteem is kind of the spark plug for self-destructive behaviors, and drug use is one of these. It's a fundamental need to have a good sense of self. Without it, people may become pathologically unhappy with themselves, and that can lead to some very serious problems.

She's just sitting there, trying to get the attention of a drake. She's trying to get him to come down and sit with her.

She was all over the place and swinging wildly. Mary has to be more patient when she's got someone in trouble and not get caught up in styles. We'll work on it and she'll be OK.

The price point is certainly an impressive value statement, ... I think the going assumption is you have to pay about $10 a month to be involved in a gaming community like this, so to offer a one time fee of $49.99 is going to make it a lot less challenging for kids or teens to get permission to play. I think it's a key price point position.

We want to make this a level playing field, as I said we have certain establishments that are violating this, the underground railroad is saying if you come here you can smoke,

Helen and I are confident that by implementing some simple driving tips for fuel efficiency and using Shell's most advanced fuel, we will be successful in setting a strong record.

I am real pleased. Some of the teams ahead of us are ex-state champions with great tradition, and we are just eight strokes out of first.

From a practical standpoint, most Americans don't live there.

If all the platforms launch in 2001 that we think are going to launch, I expect the Xbox to be No. 3 this year,

Because VC firms are managing other people's money, they are on the line to produce returns, ... The demonstrated potential for return has to be darn good.

I majored in physics at IU. But I took a whole lot of astronomy classes. I thought it would be great to have a solar telescope ... be able to see things during the day with the students.

He secretly knows what happened. You're always looking for the right place, which was here. Board members didn't argue about petty things and wanted to do the right thing. I used to tell friends I knew I had found the right place.

I feel like he wanted to be as fair and just with the kids as possible.

He looks real good in the gym and if does what he's supposed to do he should win. He's got the talent and the experience from last year.

He may not be recognized as a state placer or a state champion, but people know what kind of wrestler he is and what he can accomplish at the Dome this year.

He had a good tournament and he's wrestling with a lot of confidence right now. He's wrestled a number of the top guys in his (state) bracket already this year.

I save 15 to 20 percent fuel money every week purely and simply by using a few simple tips.

Payments for expired parking meter tickets, will be accepted as canned goods.

People have been overwhelmed by the graphical performance, but I haven't heard it described in those terms,

I think Sony will do a price cut in the fall. Now, if Xbox were to catch fire and look like it's going sell 5 or 6 million units, then Sony may change it's mind, but I don't think that's going to happen.

Opening price points are still where they were. In other words, you still launch at $49, but after a few weeks go by, demand dries up. So you're not seeing games hold the price point as long.

Japan is probably becoming a bit more influential in the day-to-day management decisions at Nintendo of America. It seems that might have been going on for a little while.

Pens are most dangerous tools, more sharp by odds Than swords, and cut more keen than whips or rods

National defense is the usual pretext for the policy of fleecing the people.

It affected (network) traffic going to and coming from the West Coast and other Western parts of the U.S..

I think the DC is in a position to benefit for the shortage, ... Sega's key strategy now is to identify Dreamcast with online gaming ... If Sega can get that grounded, then I think the Dreamcast is in a position to stick around for a long time.

I think the DC is in a position to benefit for the shortage. Sega's key strategy now is to identify Dreamcast with online gaming ... If Sega can get that grounded, then I think the Dreamcast is in a position to stick around for a long time.

I think the closest real world equivalent to this is the market for action figures, ... I've never heard of a digital actor being sold, though.

I think they're probably going to have two goals,

Our council needs to know what we are agreeing with down the road. I don't see how anybody can work with that agreement.

I think in 2004, quite a few people were surprised about how successful the (more expensive) collectors editions were. 'Madden' was a good example of that. Most recently 'Doom 3' came out on Xbox and the premium version outsold the standard edition.

It is one thing to say you're going to introduce online gaming, but it is another thing to say it's really fun to play with, ... Just because a console's Web-enabled doesn't mean it's fun to play with. Somebody's got to come up with an online game that people want to play.

I think its safe to say that Sony is going for the broadest possible audience you can imagine, ... For the year 2000, PlayStation has a pretty big window of opportunity. It is unclear at this point if there is any serious competition.

I think we ought to assume that $59.99 is going to be the place we start for game prices,

It certainly felt different without him here. It seemed strange not seeing him at his desk in his office.

It bothers me to think about it -- the kids are starting fires and they're firefighters. It's wrong.

I think it good plain English, without fraud, To call a spade a spade, a bawd a bawd

I think it's enough for Microsoft because there's a pretty good opportunity for Microsoft to start to sell into households that already own PS2s,

I thought something else should have been done at the time. But I'm not a medical doctor.

I thought we played adequately. We could play better. Out of 25 schools, to be second, is a pretty good position.

We could not agree more...that the big financial interests got what they wanted, but the common folk got left behind.

Microsoft has recognized that owning a significant piece of real estate in the living room is key to them being a winner in digital entertainment, ... This is a strategic investment and part of a long-term plan for them.

Microsoft is a technology company with resources that are the envy of other companies. They're definitely going to make some waves, but its not going to be easy.

We have an independent witness coming with us to observe us. What a gig that is. I'd love to have his job.

Whilst the IRA and Sinn Fein continue to say there will be no decommissioning of illegal armaments, I have no reason to be optimistic about the outcome of these talks,

We are treating it like a big deal. We have fought hard to establish credibility in the enterprise so we're taking a very aggressive approach in addressing this.

That's the whole idea. They actively work alongside the entrepreneur, but typically as an involved board members.

There is a piece of real estate in the household that is increasing in value - and that's the place right above or right below the TV set. It sounds to me like Microsoft sees this as strategically important enough to them that they are willing to make the investment.

Wal-Mart wants to cut out the banks and become the middle man, so that they profit from the cash that flows in and out of Wal-Mart... and then go build more Wal-Marts.

When 'Grand Theft Auto III' was originally released, no one had any idea it was going to be near as large as it was. It took six to eight weeks before people realized something unusual was happening and that there was crossover appeal to that game.

We're coming off several quarters in a row where commercial IT buyers were not buying much of anything. That's the limitation. It's going to take several quarters for demand to rebuild so the IPO market will be coming back in baby steps.

(The PC) is definitely suffering, ... You've got to realize that the performance difference between a high-end PC and a console has really narrowed ... The sweet spot of the markets, in terms of price performance, has shifted.

Well, that's not fair for the ones who are complying, so we'll step in, and try to bring people back into line.

The people who think it is a good idea to get a big tax refund are ... really undisciplined. I guess if that is the only way you can save money, it is better than nothing.

While we are mourning the loss of our friend, others are rejoicing to meet him behind the veil.

We need to have an honest discussion before we discuss any potential regulations.

Although I do not feel like a prisoner in my home, there are times I think twice about if I am going to walk to a neighbor's down the street or if we are going to drive.

They tried and that is all you can ask. It's disappointing and they were disappointed, but the one thing I've always liked about this group is they are fighters and they don't quit. They didn't quit, and I was proud of that.

They've all been practicing together, working hard together, and I think for the first time in a long time we have a team, not just individuals.

Tech seems to be feast or famine. But we expect the life sciences sector to still be strong.

President Nixon never lifted his hand to Mrs. Nixon,

Our concern is that the sport of ocean racing has been damaged and people are reluctant to get involved because of the actions of one person.

Few Americans are clamoring for legislation that would allow mega-mergers among the nation's largest financial institutions.

The response has been less than honorable. That simply will not be enough to address the need.

There's no doubt about the fact he took those steps. What is in question, however, is Mr. Summers' allegation, wrapped up in innuendo and hearsay, that those steps were necessary,

There's no question that in 2002 and 2003 that a lot of investment went to later-stage companies because they entailed much less risk.

This is not about technology. It's about fun.

Indeed, all existing evidence demonstrates that he was shocked and surprised that it had occurred and spent weeks, if not months, attempting to find out why,

I'm proud of what the team has been able to accomplish this year and I was thrilled to see that work recognized at the regional competition. We are, of course, preparing for the national competition in May, and we hope to represent Drury well at that time, too.

In our research we found that over 100 families per week, as well as hundreds of individuals including disabled persons, and those with substance abuse problems seek the help of the local food banks.

insufficient to account fully for racial or ethnic differences in the incidence of higher-priced lending; significant differences remain unexplained.

In some cases we were text-mailing because that was the only service available. In other cases we were hearing from them via relatives.

If you're a parent of a young child and you notice that the child has very low self-esteem, that should be a warning signal that this child needs some attention or perhaps professional counseling.

Dan has a real vision of where he wants to take the bureau and the work that the bureau does. He's really crystal clear on what needs to be done and how to go about it.

Dan knows the national business climate, and he knows Cincinnati USA. He knows the strengths we bring to the national arena, and he understands the challenges in today's competitive marketplace.

The fact that you can identify a group of people who are at risk for problematic behaviors is very important. If you can intervene on a group of people before they begin drug use or embark on a cycle of addiction, that could have huge health benefits.

It's been the trip of a lifetime -- absolutely unforgettable. A true technical challenge, and a real test of endurance for all the team involved. I am so proud to have set the record with Shell.

It's very important for (Microsoft) to show us a portfolio of titles that are only available on Xbox and that show the power of that machine. I think there is a ton of headroom that has yet to be exploited in the Xbox.

It (the lack of saving) bothers me tremendously.

In the past, the perception that something has a premium price point has led to the demise of the platform. You can look at Sega as an example of that. You can look at 3DO as an example. Microsoft is going to be incredibly sensitive to that.

I gave the idea to Josh and he just went with it. In 2001, he had most of the parts made. It's made with a lot of old computer parts.

Charlie has been finishing first week-after-week for us, Ryan was playing real well and had just one bad hole, Russell fired a good score and Daniel and Trey also played well. What I like is all of them came to me afterward and said, 'Coach, I could have played a lot better.' Let's see what they do (Saturday).

Certainly we are well on our way towards an agreement.
