Given the cost of borrowings and the $100 billion in Government reserves, there is no reason for us to borrow. We should review the situation carefully. Besides, borrowings are possible, but we must understand what is more profitable at this point.
We are working in other areas [like ALROSA] as well, so there are no radical changes to our position. It is not the case when we have to, as we say, make a lot of fuss about it. In other words, we do not have to be obsessed with privatizing immediately and at any cost.
In other words, we do not have to be obsessed with privatizing immediately and at any cost. No, we will not do it at any cost. We will do it in a way that ensures maximum benefit for the Russian state and the Russian economy.
Economists treat economics as if it is a pure science divorced from the facts of life. The result of this false accountancy is a willful confusion under cover of which industry wreaks its havoc scot-free and ignores the environmental cost.
We needed to have a great set decorator, a great D.P., a great costume designer, everybody. Without all these people, we would have made a shitty movie.
I took a route of acting, rather than starmaking, so it cost me a lot financially.
You make a film for a million dollars and then it costs $10 million to sell it. That's the problem at the moment with independent filmmaking: You can make it cheap and then there's no money to market it.

Higher energy costs are unavoidable in all future scenarios.
One of the major goals of health insurance reform is to bring down the cost.

Once a film costs a certain amount of money, things have to round off.
And one game, as we know, can cost you a lot.
I do not seek unpopularity as a badge of honour, but sometimes it is the price of leadership and the cost of conviction.
There is good evidence that last year's European heat wave was influenced by global warming. It resulted in 26,000 premature deaths and cost $13.5bn.
My commitment to the forgotten families of Australia is to ease your cost of living pressure
The film is better for me than the sitcom. But the sitcom is like much more practical approach, if I may say that, because of the cost. Everything costs money, a lot of people don't realize that.
Cost does not equal value... and low cost parts decrease brand equity for a very long time.
One of the principal impediments to job creation is uncertainty on the part of American companies, large and small. We've all watched as companies have sat on a lot of capital. They're uncertain about what tax policy is going to be. They're clearly uncertain about how health care costs. They're uncertain about all the regulations on capital markets.
Health care costs blunt the competitive edge of American entrepreneurs, from the auto industry to internet start-ups.
I believe that government is too large, costs too much, spends too much, and has too much regulatory power in our lives.
I am a firm believer in the mission of the health centers, which offer cost-effective comprehensive primary and preventive services to at-risk people.
Our resistance to this war should be our resistance to profit at the cost of human life. Because that is what these drums beating over Iraq are really about. This is about business.
