I have a great wife. It takes a special person to take that on. She gets it and is supportive. She loves football. There's no doubt there's a juggling act (with time). If (my family) wasn't supportive, I probably wouldn't do it. If they weren't excited about it, it would be hard for me to be. |
I have a little bit different feeling heading into this tournament than I've had in some of the others. I feel a lot more confident in my game than I did heading into the other majors. And as I said earlier in the week, I really want to put everything I have into finishing off the year right. |
I have a lot of respect for Mariano Rivera, ... I learned a lot of things from him. More than anything, I learned how to hold a cut fastball. Mariano has taught me how to be a complete pitcher. That respect goes a long way. I have the same thing to say about Pedro Martinez. I love them a lot. |

I have many young mentors. In the Native American culture, an elder traditionally is a status you've achieved based upon how you've lived your life. ... I've tried to find elders in the traditional sense but from all walks of life. I look for people I can take wisdom from, people of all ages. |
I have never turned away a child because they couldn't pay. That doesn't mean I teach them for free, because they all work hard at something for me for their lessons. You can tell the ones that really want it because they don't mind it when you tell them the only way they can stay is to help. |
I have to thank Billy and coach Woodson for believing in me and giving me this opportunity, ... And I think this is going to be fun for all of us players. We'll have so many athletic guys who can get up and down the floor. And it will be great for the fans. We're going to be an exciting team. |
I have tried to create something special here, ... This is a unique slice of the English countryside with a beautiful skyline which would be ruined if I had to cut the trees down and expose the 1970s housing estate on the other side. I don't know if I could stay here if the hedge was removed. |
I hope every woman in this country, whether they agree with Roe or they disagree with Roe, whether they themselves would make one decision or another, will come together and say: Pro-choice means that the Government respects the individual, and isn't that really what our country is all about? |
I just kind of ran away from them. I'm happy with the win. I'm 2-for-2 at this race. Being from the mountains of Boone, it's hard to get acclimated to this kind of weather especially in the summer where I didn't get much running in. Right now I'm running great because the weather is so great. |
I just wanted to get it ready for the real season and I didn't want to chance aggravating it even more [in the World Classic]. I know my trainers here will take extra care watching out for it, and I didn't want to go somewhere where they probably wouldn't watch it as carefully as they should. |
I just wasn't used to getting beaten the way she beat me, ... Every time I step on the court, even if it's against Serena, I still feel like I should be the better player because, really, that's how we were raised to think when you came out on the court. So I guess that was probably a factor. |
I just went over a jump without enough momentum to carry myself over it. I landed wrong and hit the ground. I rode all my life and never had a broken bone. I knew it wasn't life-threatening, just life-messing-up. I knew right away that I messed up and that life was never going to be the same. |
I kind of like it this way. I know there's a pitcher on the bench that's as good. A lot of times when you have a No. 1 pitcher, you start questioning — 'can she go one more inning?' And if that's you're No. 1, you have to go with her. This year, it's been nice to be able to go to the bench. |
