We have sensible fans and sensible policies.

The stadium expansion is currently at the feasibility stage and has to go through that.

Players aren't quite as mercenary as people make them out to be. Some of them are but some aren't.

The rolling contract was designed to specifically take away some of that retirement talk and retirement issue.

There are a lot of lessons to be learned. We can all learn lessons.

We discussed buying a defender. The view was the priority at that time given the way we were playing was that we needed support up front and that is why we bought Louis Saha.

All I can do is assess the value from Manchester United perspective. Whatever Chelsea do, they may have a different criteria, and different financial assets.

A lot of them want to come and play for Manchester United. They want to play because Alex has a record of giving youth a chance and we have the history and heritage of Manchester United.

Namely the manager will assess what he believes a player is worth and he will discuss that with the board and then we will go after that target. If we can achieve it at that target, great, but if we can't we will have to move on to the next player.

We genuinely believe to this day that it was an honest genuine mistake and we never imagined the punishment would be eight months. The precedent dictated that it was unlikely to be that. We don't regret he played for that period.

Arsenal are a great team. But we lifted the trophy eight times in 11 years.

We have the fact we sell out every week to 67,500 and hopefully 75,000 in the future. We have a lot of assets.

The manager sits down with me; I sit down with the board. We assess the success of the year. The manager assesses whose coming through the academy system. His job is to look at what is happening in European and world football.

We don't have major limits in the transfer market.

We had to support our player and genuinely felt, like Rio has said, that it was an honest mistake. It is important to know that Manchester United never said, and Rio Ferdinand never said, that a mistake hadn't been made.

Would we prefer to be lifting it? Of course we would. You can't look back, we have to look forward and say what are we going to do get it back next year.

The FA Cup is important to everyone at the club. We have a great record in it and we want to win a trophy.

It is by disease that health is pleasant by evil that good is pleasant by hunger satiety by weariness rest.

Because a truly skeptical position would be a very uncertain one.

I'm incredibly nostalgic for the '80s, because I think that's when Geek Culture really kicked in to high gear.

Well I grew up in the Midwest, and I think the first film that blew my mind was 'Raiders of the Lost Ark.'

Feminists bore me to death. I follow my instinct and if that supports young girls in any way, great. But I'd rather they saw it more as a lesson about following their own instincts rather than imitating somebody.

We're all so digital, but the '50s was the era of watches you had to wind. When Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay reached the summit of Everest in 1953, Hillary was equipped with a Rolex Oyster Perpetual.

When youre always there for people they stop appreciating you because your favors are now an expectation.

Even just seconds ahead is unknown; even just seconds after is open to infinite possibilities.

I'm not a fan of musicals at all, but I do think 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' is a very good. I always thought 'Walk the Line' was very good, too. I was in 'Nowhere Boy.' I played Paul McCartney. That was kind of musical - we did songs in that.

Before, I guess, mum and dad were everything, but now, in my case, I had two new girls and all of a sudden they're completely dependent on you and there's a third generation. It's a funny shift all of a sudden. You have the babies, you have yourself and then you have your parents.

Life without an ideal is spiritual death.

Attitude is your acceptance of the natural laws, or your rejection of the natural laws.

But the main thing is that medication, too, is not all the help.

Casting, to me, is always the same. It's a very important part of a director's job. I pick people that I sense I'd like to be in a room with and will enjoy the rehearsal process with because that's the best part.

There's many a good tune played on an old fiddle

In our eyes the roads are endless. Two are crossroads of the shadow.

A belief in God is vitally important, not just in show business, but stability in life. You know, to recognize deity is the most important thing that you can do. I mean, it comes to the Ten Commandments. They weren't ten suggestions. They were Ten Commandments.

People complain that chefs aren't at their restaurants anymore, but I don't think that's the case at all. You see them on TV and you assume they're not working but they are.

The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places.

We're not trying to harass the average American. We need to convert this now to a risk-based system, with TSA concentrating and focusing on intelligence, on security, setting up again the parameters of which we do this.

In an age of specialization people are proud to be able to do one thing well, but if that is all they know about, they are missing out on much else life has to offer.

Letterman, despite whatever idiotic (or worse?) things he may have done with women on his staff, was wise enough to realize that silence isn't permanent and peace of mind can't be bought.
