I was running on Saturday, the day after he passed away, and I went by a corner where we frequently met for our weekend runs. In the midst of my sadness, I couldn't help but smile, thinking of all the good memories I have of our many miles together. |
I was telling these guys that I knew we were drained. I think we came out in the first half of this game the best in the whole tournament. They were relaxed, they were calm. All the pressure was off. However we finished, we could take home hardware. |
I was the tallest kid in the class, and the play was about food. The kid who was playing the hamburger forgot his lines, and I said them, and there was all this laughter. When I came out for my bows, there was this burst of applause, and I loved it. |
I was tormented. Fear and trembling. And a sense of doom. A literal belief in hell. Hell for eternity. With devils chasing you for eternity with pitchforks. I trembled. I couldn't go to sleep for fear I might die and wake up in hell. I was in agony. |

I went to her mom and dad and told her what I really wanted to do was get [Fanning] a horse, ... I wanted to make sure that was okay with them — it was a big commitment for the whole family. But I've seen her with the horse and it's a great thing. |

I will do my best to perform my duty as prime minister, devoting myself in line with the public's cooperation without fearing pain [from reform], without hesitating to challenge the walls of vested interests and without being bound by past practice. |

I will tell you from my own experience that I think he did the right thing, that he was trying to save the life of the woman and her husband, ... Maybe if somebody told me, used that terminology 35 years ago, maybe I wouldn't be where I am today ... |
