Famous quotes by Rick Snyder:

"Having just approved the 2006 annual operating plan, I and the other directors believe the company is essentially on the right course for long-term growth, and that our employees and senior management team have a sense of urgency about improving the company's financial results. However, we will take this opportunity to re-examine the strategic direction of Gateway to fine-tune our products, services and approach to our professional and consumer direct markets."

"I'm not willing to concede that we can't find a good niche for us and become a player."

"Those are all areas I think we can look at."

"We were viewed as a unique player that had special attributes. So the question is, can we bring some of that sparkle back?"

"However, we will take this opportunity to re-examine the strategic direction of Gateway to fine-tune our products, services and approach to our professional and consumer direct markets."

"I think we have a good opportunity. I think we can be an exciting company even with those players. This has always been a really tough market, and it's gotten tougher in terms of lower price points. You can't sit back on your heels; you have to go out and earn your business every day."

"There is a bias toward favoring developers. This time, we won."

"There is a certain challenge to directing an older play. In the '50s, there was a politeness that doesn't exist anymore. For instance, the language is more polite than we would perhaps have today. The challenge is to bring out the emotional depth that exists under that surface."

"These are real people with real emotions. To love and be loved, to be loved for who you are, to be young again. These still touch our hearts in the same way. Society may change but people's emotions pretty much stay the same."

"She's a trusted, wonderful young woman."

"But as a practical matter, Detroit's the sports city in the country."

"So if you want great sports, Michigan's the place to be."

"I'm very proud of the auto industry in Michigan."

"I'm a proud Republican - there's no issue with that at all, so why can't I be a proud Republican and just try to solve problems?"
