I love to see us run up and down the court, but I think somewhere along the line, we're going to have to figure it out. It's like playing Jack Nicklaus in golf in his prime. I'd rather play him one hole than 18. We've got to somehow say this gives us our best chance to win. |
I mean a couple of years ago (HBO head) Chris Albrecht called me and said we should really seriously think about how long we want to go and how this thing should end. So I took that to heart and thought about it a long time and plotted it out and this will be the end, yeah. |
I met a Christian woman, a former lesbian, who listened patiently to my story and led me to a ministry helping people overcome homosexuality. Because they loved me without judgment, I was able finally to give all my relationships with God and begin the real road to healing. |
I never felt the pressure beforehand. I walked the course with Dad, but it never really sank in that I was riding in the Grand National. In the race, plenty fell around me, but fortunately, nothing fell in front of me, and I was able to challenge for the lead over the last. |
I personally know of two deaths this year alone and the numbers using it are much smaller than ecstasy. The penetration into the [straight clubbing] mainstream is relatively small at the moment and if it spreads, the number of deaths associated with it is going to increase. |
I realize they took me in the first round and also gave up another first-rounder for me. I know what's expected of a first-round quarterback in this league. But it's warming to me to know the confidence they have in me to do handle this. Because that's a big deal they made. |
I really hope people come out and support their local schools. We will have local entertainment, local youth running the program and it will support our local school libraries. It would be great to see a lot of people in here Monday night. Just come on and have a good time. |
I remember everyone walking into the locker room after that game. I sat right there on the edge of the tunnel and watched it. Tears were almost rolling down my eyes, I hated it so bad. It ate me up. It was like a knot in your stomach watching that. I won't ever forget that. |
I said, if it's going to be done, you're the ones who will have to do it. That's the way it should be. It's taken off from that point. We're having fun now. Even in a close ball game, you can see them smiling and having fun out there. And that's what you want at this stage. |
I saw a scene in a bus station once. It was a little family knot; Grandmother was going home. The youngster burst into tears at losing Grandmother and went to her mother, who gave her a cuff on the cheek and said "Now brace up." She went to her father, and he comforted her. |
I should have said, 'Hey, we've got several things we're going to turn in and want to look at with them,' ... 'We see it one way, and we'll see how they see it.' That should have been my comments, but I went specifically . . . I went over some things there that you can't. |
I sort of feel like I felt when I watched the USC-Texas (Rose Bowl) game last night. Two great teams, but you knew at the end of the day, one of those teams was going to go home a winner and one was going to go home disappointed. We are disappointed. We are not discouraged. |
I spend so much time making movies I sometimes get too uptight, too critical to enjoy them. [But this year] I have seen and loved so many of my colleagues' films. That makes this award … so much more special because I think it has been an amazing year for American cinema. |
I still think we need a physical presence inside. We've got length, but not enough girth inside. We need some bodies there. You can argue whether or not we need another shooter, somebody who can knock down consistent shots coming off screens. Those are the areas of concern. |
I talked to him right before tip-off and told him that he was our man. I told him that you're the guy that we want to lead Ole Miss basketball for 10 years and he said, 'I really appreciate that.' I told him, why don't we talk after the game and he said that would be great. |
