All morning they watched for the plane which they thought would be looking for them. They cursed war in general and PTs in particular. At about ten o'clock the hulk heaved a moist sigh and turned turtle.

I doing casual labor by the day. They wouldn't pay you until the next morning. There was a bar that would cash your check if you bought a beer first. A lot of guys never left until they'd drunk up all their money.

I made that decision back in 1985. I was out here getting certified in SCUBA with Garcia in Kona and I thought to myself this is a place to wake up in in the morning.

Just this morning out of a large memory for songs and having been obsessed by them since childhood suddenly at the age of 84 I thought of a song I hadn't thought of in over 50 years. It came into my head unbidden.

I never thought in a million years I'd be that healthy girl who wakes up every morning to exercise. After being called 'cherubic and chubby ' I'm rocking a bikini!

You know the market was down yesterday... my first thought when I heard-just on a personal basis when I heard there had been this attack and I saw the futures this morning which were really in the tank I thought Time to buy.

Early in the morning I fell in love with the girl that later on became my wife. At that time we were so naive. I wanted to charm her so I read her Capital by Marx. I thought somehow she would be convinced by the strength of his criticism about capital.

I should just put it bluntly because we're all sort of friends here now - it's exceedingly likely that my greatest success is behind me. Oh so Jesus what a thought! You know that's the kind of thought that could lead a person to start drinking gin at nine o'clock in the morning and I don't want to go there.

'Not again!' I thought to myself this morning as news trickled out that John McCain was set to pick Alaska governor Sarah Palin as his running mate. Not again because too often women are promoted for the wrong reasons and then blamed when things don't go right.

After all those years as a woman hearing 'not thin enough not pretty enough not smart enough not this enough not that enough ' almost overnight I woke up one morning and thought 'I'm enough.'

I saw Deep Purple live once and I paid money for it and I thought 'Geez this is ridiculous.' You just see through all that sort of stuff. I never liked those Deep Purples or those sort of things. I always hated it. I always thought it was a poor man's Led Zeppelin.

The GAO just released a report that said 22 percent of federal programs fail to meet their objectives. The truth is we don't know how taxpayer money is spent in Washington D.C. which is why I think we ought to put every agency budget up on the Internet for everyone to see.

I tend to make low-budget movies but yeah I make more money than I ever thought I would make.

When you try to find funding for a VVA function it doesn't seem like it's any trouble at all. People come out of the woodwork with their money to help out because we went over and fought a war.

If we're going to spend a lot of money to deal with the problem of 200 million guns in the country owned by 65 million gun owners we ought to have a system which will work and catch criminals.

Well I needed the work - that's the honest answer. I haven't worked for a while a couple of years. So I thought it would be nice to get back to work and earn some money.

I became alienated from this religious upbringing and started making music. I wanted to be a big star. All those things I saw in the films and on the media took hold of me and perhaps I thought this was my god: the goal of making money.

I've always thought anyone can make money. Making a life worth living that's the real test.

Money it turned out was exactly like sex you thought of nothing else if you didn't have it and thought of other things if you did.

Because people have no thoughts to deal in they deal cards and try and win one another's money. Idiots!

I don't think the money people in Hollywood have ever thought I was normal but I am dedicated to my work and that's what counts.

As one digs deeper into the national character of the Americans one sees that they have sought the value of everything in this world only in the answer to this single question: how much money will it bring in?

Money and women are the most sought after and the least known about of any two things we have.

To give real service you must add something which cannot be bought or measured with money and that is sincerity and integrity.
