To be honest, Greg, I’m still not sure I understand why Pam left with Roy that night. But I digress.
From time to time Suzanne comes up with ideas. She's a master at tracking down weird and important stuff on the internet. She passes tips on to me and (if they are good) I use them and take full credit. If the idea flops, she gets the credit. In that respect this business is like the federal government. But I digress...
The Pentagon's new budget, almost three-quarters of a trillion bucks, will make it the tenth largest economy in the world. But I digress, because of course the Pentagon is not in the business of payback.
The Times had sat on the story for more than a year, at the request of the White House. Had this story broken before the 2004 election, who knows what might have happened? But I digress.
It was there that she stumbled on what she now calls "the most powerful law in the universe", which funnily enough isn't the law of gravity but "the law of attraction". This law simply states that you attract to yourself what you think about most (which makes me wonder why I'm not dating a playboy bunny - but I digress).
"Evolution often fails to produce the clear divisions that human thought in general, and the law in particular, prefers to work with," says the newsweekly. "It therefore behooves taxonomists to be honest."

"I said, 'Right, I've got something to tell you,' " he said. " 'I believe that for us to be able to work closely together and have faith in each other, we have to be honest and open and frank.' "
And yes, it's also true that whenever Gingrich utters the word "frankly," the words that follow almost always involve rank deception. And frankly, he says "frankly" a lot.
I know some people think I scowl too much, but frankly, I'm more concerned about what I've learned than how I look.
He laughs, "Frankly all my work is play."
Koren's pencil is a social scalpel, dissecting what he sees as the absurd elements of life: fanatical dog pampering, for example. He's a keen observer of the world around him.
Koren says, "There's nothing that isn't a source of inspiration."
Frankly, I think when Jessica -- who runs a successful charity called Baby Buggy -- saw the stunt in action, she turned a little pale.
Remember, they are not your friends. They are your children. And, frankly, most are not very good drivers.
DEAR BILLY GRAHAM: I have a friend who feels guilty if he does even the slightest thing wrong, but to be honest I’m not that way.
Rupert "Abe" Everett, on 'Shrek the Third':
"I think it's a lovely film. I watched it yesterday, and I really enjoyed it, and I feel very lucky to be in it, to be honest."
"It’s great! It’s the best job to have, to be honest; I feel it’s like a golden handshake."
The company's gesture seems to be a "golden handshake," a generous farewell present designed to discourage any public recriminations. The expensive practice was widespread in the business world until the mid-1960s, but since then, largely because of stockholders' opposition, it has been rather rare.
A law will be drawn up to do away with "golden handshakes", new French president Nicolas Sarkozy said on Friday. "I hope we will be able to outlaw the practice of golden handshakes."
Mr Lindsay had awarded himself a £130,000 golden handshake in February, in addition to a pension of £55,000 a year and a lump sum of £155,000.
"I love animation, yeah; but I love animated films. I think they shed more light on society than live action does really, to be honest."
DANTE: Stop it. This is beneath even you.
RANDAL: I'm not missing what's probably going to be the social event of the season.
DANTE: You hate people.
RANDAL: But I love gatherings. Isn't it ironic?

"A lot of that stuff ended up straight in the trash, to be honest."
You look at Christie’s face in close-up in Sarah Polley’s acclaimed Canadian drama "Away from Her" and it’s hard not to be stunned by her unvarnished beauty. To be honest, I don’t know enough to know whether we’re looking at botox or surgery or not, but my deepest suspicion is that what we’re seeing is one of the most astonishingly beautiful faces in movies au naturel at the age of 66.
"To be honest," he says, suddenly looking at me very intently, "I’m beginning to realise I like my women more mature -- a nice career lady, with a house and a car and an interesting job..?"
She is one of the most intelligent women with whom I have had the pleasure of conversing. "It was really, really hard for me to be honest, but I knew in writing this book that I had to be 100% brutally honest, because if you're going to tell your story, you can't leave things out."
It's not necessarily a good thing, but I'm just completely incapable of lying. "If I sat down with a media trainer for a couple of months, I'd learn not to be so brutally honest, but I don't want to be that person."
"It's not just about turning out twenty-thousand dollar movies anymore and just turning profit. It's about putting out good product."

To be totally honest with you, I really never pictured myself in a public position of any kind.
Paul has been a hoot in the past two debates. He's been brutally honest and he seems to be one of the few people running for the nomination that actually remembers the GOP platform.
He doesn't appear to be very competent, but he does seem to care and he does seem to be honest. Why else would he say things that make him look like a jackass?
To be honest, though, these extras seem overpriced.
"It would be absolutely fantastic to do well in the competition, but to be honest, I’m probably a little curvy ..."
To be honest with you, an elderly lady cannot out muscle a policeman.
Other people I'd like to help sort things out: Jenn's boyfriend Jared, who, to be completely honest, does not seem like the sharpest fauxhawk in the box.
The Mohawk might be remembered as the punk-rebel uniform of the '80s. These days the style has been reincarnated into a high-fashion fauxhawk.
Later, on the night when Sanjaya wore his ponytail fauxhawk, Paula had some harsh words, saying that Sanjaya’s singing couldn’t match the entertainment value of his hair.
Not only has he aliened viewers with his so-called "fauxhawk" hairstyle, but what also irks them is that he survives week after week even though he can't carry a tune in a bucket.
I have got to be honest with you -- I knew that this book was going to be good before I ever saw it.
"Some of the questions (well, to be honest, all the questions) were just plain sexual," Valenti wrote.
"He was hard to take before, to be honest. He was too hyper and he always thought he was the boss. Now, I see him as a survivor, and I admire him . . . I want to protect him now, because God only knows what he's been through. He must have been terrified."
To be honest, I have a hard time imagining there to be 10 individually-perceptible degrees of quality when it comes to a disk drive.

Santiago Herrán, who spends many hours sitting before an intimidating console in the control room of the locks at Gatún Lake, says he is tired of hearing from Americans about the "China problem." "To be honest," he says, "it's the Americans' problem."
To be honest, some of the concert locations, because I don't have time to play all the places I'd love to, are decided because of the venues ... distances to (the) next concert and such - quite random. But I do have warm feelings for the Bay Area.
-- Bjork, on her tour
Pitchfork: They played that song this morning, and I wrote "Chippendale" in my notes because it was obviously him building up to this huge moment. It's amazing how it peaks like that.
Björk: To be totally honest, we did noodle with it. You know how on the computer you take that performance and you can force it an octave lower, and have it played not so high volume, which basically makes the whole thing thicker. So you've got the real thing, and then you've got it like-- because they're actually quite small drums he was playing. Not small drums, but when you listen to it it sounds like kettle drums or something. So we did make it really big and fat, but it is his performance, and an unedited take, which is amazing.
Q: When you were developing this character, did you ever daydream about killing people?

Q: Should badgers be culled to prevent the spread of tuberculosis in cattle?
A: It's turned out to be a difficult problem, to be honest.
While discussing this episode of public pooing, our first instinct was of course to tell students to stop shitting in laundry devices -- or, for that matter, anywhere else that isn’t a toilet. But to be completely honest, we’re just plain tired of climbing onto a soap box and telling anyone who will listen just how poor a decision it is to defecate in inappropriate places (or jump off bridges, or ignore alcohol-related laws -- you get the idea). So, instead, we thought we’d just provide you with some solid information, and let you all decide for yourselves whether or not it’s funny to crap in public places.
