I feel like a baseball player again. I was physically prepared before I came to Spring Training this year. The last eight years, I used Spring Training to get ready. They have a lot of good young arms here. Now I wish I would have done this the last eight years. I was young and dumb. I love it here. |
I feel like we're walking a tightrope. I feel (tonight) it's going to be the game that we've got to play perfect basketball. It's possible. ... and I think (tonight) is going to be the game that the whole Sacramento Monarchs team shows up to play because who wants to go back to Connecticut? I don't. |

I forget what the official name of it was, but they did an all-day of roots music - every kind of music you can imagine from around the country - New Orleans Jazz to Indian flute players, R&B, you name it. I met and became good friends with (blues guitar player) Joe Louis Walker. He was on the show. |
I get the impression sometimes that people think there's some sort of magic dust that the coach can sprinkle over the guys to make them aware of everything. We talk to our guys every day about exactly where we are [in the race]. With certain groups, that works really well. With others, it might not. |
I guarantee you, whether it is Gov. Bush or Vice President Gore, the minute they step off the plane and onto the tarmac, the first question they hear is, 'What are you going to do about the gasoline prices?' ... And there isn't a presidential candidate . . . that would ignore that political reality. |
I guess it is a very significant move. You have to understand that Lafontaine as finance minister was disliked by the Germany corporate sector . . . What we did see in Germany is that the economic situation deteriorated quite sharply from October onwards. If you like, it was to some extent homemade. |
I guess it's a good idea, but I don't think it's anything new. People have always been able to download rings and wallpaper for their phones, but I guess it only makes the same facility available to every single Jamaican who is not technologically inclined or who doesn't have access to the Internet. |
I had a good run there as an assistant coach. You are always going to have fond memories of places where you had success. As far as what it means in this exact game, this will be a tough game against a good football team at their place ... in a hostile environment. It's a huge order but it's doable. |
I had offers to go other places, but then it's a situation where you're coming in to join a staff that's already in place. Obviously, not having to uproot your family is important, but the other thing that came into play was the relationship that I had built with these kids over the last four years. |

I have for a long time felt that our society is becoming more and more fractured and divisive and that you could go a whole day without really talking to another person. If you give people a good book to talk about, you can build a community out of a diverse group. A common language grows out of it. |
I have never gone through this before and of course fear is right there. But we are just so, we believe firmly in faith and that has been what has pulled us through these months. all you can do is just have faith and hope for the best and pray that God will keep everything where it is suppose to be. |
I have never wanted to be typecast, one of those actors who plays a variation on a one-note theme. So just as I enjoy playing a wide variety of characters, from good to bad to ugly to cute - so I have enjoyed of late working in film and television, as well as in theatres of various sizes and shapes. |
I have this theory of life that there are four popular people in high school and then there are the rest of us. I write movies for the rest of us who never peaked in high school. For the people that did peak in high school and then realized later that it's all downhill, welcome to the movie as well. |
