ballot highly people sure time trying understand year
The ballot this year is highly complex. We are trying to make sure that people understand the ballot. For the first time this year, it is electronically readable.
trying bigs big-things
The big thing is I try not to repeat.
long-ago ideas trying
I have never had a shortage of ideas for shows. I always just do them and the gallerists don't - they stopped long ago trying to tell me what I should show in their gallery. They just don't even do it. I show whatever I want to show. They are very happy and as far as I know, they have always been very pleased with whatever I have shown, even if it is nothing to sell.
art mean trying
I mean, part of the justification for art is art history, the fact that you're part of this tradition. You can't really operate outside of it. So looking for what this work is really about, if I look at Velázquez, if I look at Las Meninas or The Tapestry Weavers [1657] or something and really study it and try to figure out what that painting is really about, then I find relationships between what I'm trying to do and what he was doing.
successful people trying
I just try things and whether people like it or if I find it successful or not, I just do it.
people trying done
I try to create a kind of dynamic thing that hopefully some people will become interested in. And what they do with it after that is sort of up to them. But it's a specific item, it's a specific thing that I've done. And what they do with it is their problem.
museums trying firsts
The first place I try to go when I have free time is the museums. I'm a big museum person.
thinking interesting trying
I shoot a lot of video, first of all, whatever I think is interesting, just my travels; hard to say why. If something looks good, I take a picture or try to shoot it.
reality trying manipulate
I try not to manipulate reality... What will happen, will happen. Let things be themselves.
almost assumption care clear cuts falling health immediate liability likely ongoing possible savings
These savings are a clear positive, but retiree liability cuts are likely to see some almost immediate offsets, from ongoing health care inflation, possible Delphi liability assumption and falling long-term rates.
contract deal likely motions posing risk starting union
Another deal with Delphi is likely forthcoming, but probably not before Mar. 30, posing risk of Delphi motions (to nullify contracts) and starting the union contract cancellation process.
auto comments general geneva necessary next process rush sale sell suggest today
Comments today at the Geneva auto show that General Motors is in no rush to sell GMAC, and that a sale is not necessary before next year, suggest the sale process has stalled.
challenges change given likely longer management move north occur plan prospects require severe term time turnaround
We think such a move would not occur if prospects for traction on the turnaround plan were tighter. The management change comes at an inopportune time given the challenges ... and severe stresses on the North American business, some of which will likely require longer term attention.
bank chapter concern equity factors filing imminent line primary
We think one of the primary factors weighing on the company's equity has been concern about the Chapter 11 filing. We think the new bank line makes an imminent filing very unlikely.
