I've been singing since I was 5 years old. Not in-the-church-thing kind of way. I always made up music. Since I was a little girl. Improvisation was with me from the beginning. It drove my parents crazy. I would sing all the time. To anything. Television show themes. I loved to imitate the sounds. |
I've got two or three other pitchers, but I know what they can do. Right now I need to know all the sophomores coming up to replace some of the guys we lost, I need to know what they're going to do. That's the part of the puzzle we need to find out and that's usually what I use the first week for. |
I've never been more proud of anyone my whole life. I've seen her go through so many hardships and so many ups and downs and to finally come at the end of the season and finally get her 1,000th point. I think to end with a championship and a win is the best possible reward she could possibly have. |
I've never come into any season assuming anything. I know a lot of people got carried away, perhaps, about our potential. But potential is potential. You can look it up in the dictionary (and see) what it means. What we do on the field is what counts, and it takes all 11 guys. We're not there yet. |
I've pledged to all of my Japanese interlocutors over the last two days that we would work with them over the next several months to see if it's possible to fashion a plan that would receive General Assembly support in New York, so that Japan could enter the Security Council as a permanent member, |
I've said it all year long that our district, the past two years, is definitely one of if not the hardest to play in. Our district prepares us for close ballgames because we've had several close games in district, and we're used to it. That's a compliment to our district as far as how tough it is. |
I've said it from the very beginning that any given day in this conference anyone could win or lose. It was a very good game and it was a game we needed to have on the road, pretty poor officiating, high intense ballgame and high pressure, it was a good game that we needed to have on an away game. |
I've spent a lot of time doing the fitness stuff, taking it to the next level. I guess that I'm kind of evidence that if you stick to a game plan and work hard, that good things can happen and maybe you can have the opportunity to do something that you love, which I've been fortunate enough to do. |
If Steve Martin were to walk into the theater and watch us present his play, I would want him to say that was how he meant it to be done. There isn't an instruction guide to tell you how it needs to be done. We as performers need to interpret it in a way that is best in accordance with the writer. |

If there are no organized activities in the area, then private parties are where the kids will congregate. Some adults think they are being safe by just taking up car keys, but binge drinking that leads to alcohol poisoning is another risky proposition. Adults need to understand alcohol is a drug. |
If we can get off to a quick start, the louder that place gets. When it's loud, that's a tough place to play in. When I was coming here as a little kid I was up there and my chest was shaking and I wasn't even playing. To feel the atmosphere in here, it's good for us and bad for the opposing team. |
If we can somehow fix this problem, it's going to keep us in the games. The game is going to be closer, and we're going to have a better chance in the third period. It's so hard to come back when you're down two goals, and we put ourselves in the position of having to battle back. It's hard to do. |
If we can swing the bat and be particular about what pitches to swing at, and be patient and stuff like that, I think we can put some pressure on some people. You look at the numbers these guys put over through the course of the year, there's no easy out in there. That makes it tough on everybody. |
If you are Mrs. Smith watching TV, seeing images of the hurricane, seeing (former House majority leader) Tom DeLay get indicted, watching the president's approval ratings sink, you say to yourself: 'What's going on here?' Are you going to feel confident? No. Are you going to put money to work? No. |
