I wanted to do something far from my intellectual and physical home, so I went to live in Beijing for eight months and took Mandarin Chinese.
- Mira SorvinoIt is really exciting to experience Popkomm again as a premium trade show ... It makes sense to have an event like this. Popkomm finally provided us with an opportunity to obtain licences for our catalogues. There was no time to rest, and genuine business was conducted here. For the first time we were able to get together to work out a global strategy with our 17 subsidiaries, whose representatives had travelled from Hong Kong, Beijing, Buenos Aires and Moscow.
- Scott CohenWithout a doubt she can win in Beijing. She has beautiful technique, she has plenty of time and she`s still improving.
- Sharron DaviesWhen it comes to confrontations with Beijing, even small ones, this administration always seems to blink first,
- Christopher SmithThe leadership in Beijing, I think, is deeply divided over how to deal with the United States,
- Richard SolomonTsingtao beer, a hundred-year old brand name, has made great contributions to the cultural exchanges between China and the rest of the world in the past century.

- Alexander HaigHe aspires to qualify for Beijing, ... I`m too old, and my family is too far along for me to travel and play in international tournaments. This could be our last tournament together, but I`m hoping it won`t be.
- Karch KiralyOur policy for the last many years has been to deter the Chinese government in Beijing from ever coming into the position where they thought they had enough leverage over the U.S. to cross the Straits of Taiwan.
- Al WeedWe sincerely ask the Beijing authorities across the Strait to view the election result from a positive perspective, to accept the democratic decision of the Taiwanese people.
- Alan HeapThey told me, `Don`t bargain with the prices,` ... They wanted the best of everything. I was surprised. I didn`t know they`d have a budget like Guangzhou or Beijing.
- Angela KnightI am determined to make sure Team USA returns to the Olympic Games in 2008 in Beijing, China, and is given the best available talent to compete for another gold medal.
- Anne SeversonAs visual metaphors go, it was a lavishly gilded lily of an image, a hanging curveball across the plate, a George Tenet-style slam-dunk: A weary President Bush, trying to escape a news conference in Beijing on Sunday, strides away from the microphone to a pair of locked doors, which he pulls and tugs in vain. No exit, the image screamed. No way out. Of course, George Bush will inevitably get out of the mess he has made -- he leaves office in three years and two months, not that anyone`s counting. But the rest of us will be left with his handiwork: crushing national debt, rising economic inequality, a poisoned political atmosphere and, oh, yes, the war in Iraq. We`re the ones trapped in the dark with no exit sign in sight.
- Antonio RiveroI said I wouldn`t complain about it until I lost and I haven`t lost yet. We haven`t won a world title but every event is a step towards Beijing.
- Anura YapaEveryone is getting excited about her. It`s probably because she`s so young, and so poised for her age. The other exciting thing is that we have yet to see the best of her. It`s scary to think that she will only be 22 at the Beijing Olympics, an age when many athletes are just starting their careers. And so everything she does before then is just gravy.
- Aya TraoreI`ve always considered it a privilege to serve the Canadian Olympic team in a leadership capacity. I look forward to working closely with the Canadian Olympic Committee over the next two years as we strive to provide optimum support for Canada`s athletes and coaches competing in Beijing.
- Barbara MarinoI want to make the next World Championships team. You make it once, you always want to make it again. That`s just a goal that I have in mind, that I`m going to stay focused and try to make the team. (Then) hopefully be in Beijing.
