I have not been briefed.

They're the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and they will not do that. They will not pull the trigger.

We're going to march on Washington with a host of Republicans, Democrats, business leaders, legislators.

Here is my general approach to the energy companies. You have already charged the utilities a 50 percent credit penalty for the power they were buying from you. You're charging us a penalty. You're not going to get two bites of the apple here.

Now, in the space of a year, we've spent 450 percent more for power than we did the year before, and bought essentially the same amount of power. This year, that number's likely to go up. That can't go on forever and have us continue to be the economic engine for America.

I don't know if I would do this if I had to start over again.

Duke came to us. They volunteered to come to us and made a number of suggestions to some people on my staff. I don't know how I would characterize them, but there have been some discussions going back and forth between Duke and members of my staff.

We're not going to take this sitting down. We are fighting back.

We started focusing on this in earnest late summer and early fall. I can build more power plants. In the 12 years before us, not a single plant of major consequence was built.

So it was flawed in that it didn't require California to have a first claim on the power plants. It deregulated part of the market, but not all of the market.

I'm doing my part, building plants at a record rate, having historic conservation levels. The only people not doing their part is the federal government that is siding with the energy companies against the interests of the people of California.

Meanwhile, people have to join us and fight back against the federal government that has dropped the ball, that is in bed with these energy companies, that wants them to make more money than they've made before.

There are so many scenarios here. We tried to prepare for the worst summer in 40 years and build assumptions based on that. We're preparing for the worst, but we're hoping for the best. And I've told people the end is in sight.

Why? Because we're very well down this process as it is - flawed as it is - and we're counting on getting more power plants on line by the end of 2003 so we have a surplus of power.

We believe you will not have to pay more than the current rate structure proposes - which is, for 50 percent of the public, nothing; for another 25 percent, only a 10 percent increase; and for the remaining 25 percent, a 34 percent increase.

There's no question that California, in the last three or four years, has been privileged to add disproportionately to the economic growth of America, and to contribute to its technological productivity.

Well, there's no question that the law passed in 1996 was flawed. It deregulated the wholesale market, meaning the price that the utilities had to pay energy companies for power, but not the retail market.

I have not been briefed.

As the governor of this state, I obviously see the issue quite differently.

There is only one governor, and his name is Gray Davis.

Well, we're trying to patch and fix and put a cast on a broken system here. You can call it what you want, but we'll continue to purchase power in a private market.

We'll have a public power authority, which will also have the ability to build power or finance power. And more importantly, we'll have more power than our economy provides. All of that will give us leverage we don't have today.

I know that Duke made a number of demands, including that the attorney general drop its investigation. We have no intention of asking the attorney general to do that.

I don't know why they're doing it. I have to assume that their motives are positive, not negative. But they don't understand the severity of the problem in this state.

August brings into sharp focus and a furious boil everything I've been listening to in the late spring and summer.

These so-called extremists in Pakistan should be brought into the mainstream; if you marginalize them, you radicalize them.

'The Admirable Crichton' is probably Barrie's most famous work after 'Peter Pan', nearly a pendant to that classic.

I could easily exist on less money, but I like the way I live now.

And one who is just of his own free will shall not lack for happiness; and he will never come to utter ruin.

I think a case could be made that there's sort of a crisis of masculinity in the West. Particularly with white males.

Spring's greatest joy beyond a doubt is when it brings the children out.

The right train of thought can take you to a better station in life.

The further I get away from coaching, the more I know I made the right decision. You almost forget how wonderful family life is.

There is no physical activity. All entertainment is happening in phone. Films can also be seen in laptop, so no one is visiting cinema halls.

I like to make jokes; I consider myself a funny person. I just think making jokes about people who are in a situation beyond their control is not funny to them or their families.

Meditation is essentially training our attention so that we can be more aware - not only of our own inner workings but also of what's happening around us in the here & now.

I live right in the middle of nowhere and I thoroughly enjoy it.

I'm more relaxed about life now that I'm older. I like it, despite the wrinkles. It's what I feel inside that's precious.

I'm a bit of a geek, actually. So I always wanted my first film to be science fiction.

In the winter I separate, in the summer I marry. It's been 15 years since I've been getting married every year.

I'm a mother. Mothers multi-task.

I want you to need me like the air you breath,I want you to hold me in your loving arms, I want you to need me, like i need you!

A difference of opinion is what makes horse racing and missionaries.

Young people are dying for no reason all over the world that don't know why. It's ugly, everywhere.

You can't get any more epic than a lightsaber battle.

We should pray to the angels for they are given to us as guardians.

I was trying to write an autobiography using prints and patterns that reference emotional, psychological, and personal development in my work, as a person growing up, figuring out who I was. I used fabrics to stand in for occurrences.

Thank you for your love that you show me regularly. You are generous with your time energy and forgiveness
