I was surprised, yes. Obviously you always keep in mind what chances are there, but this team selection I was particularly surprised by. I thought they might leave Murray out on the first two. I'm pleased I don't have to play him on the first day, and I think Stan is pleased to play Murray, not Rusedski. |
I was very pleased with how we competed today. Although the times and marks weren't where we would like to see them, the effort was certainly there, and I was really happy with that. It was a good experience for us, because we may have to compete in these conditions again at some point during the season. |
I wasn't overly nervous on the last putt, which is kind of a first for me. There were times in the past when my heart has been beating out of my chest. I just had two thoughts — stay still, and make sure the putter goes through the ball. I thought I left it short, but it got to the cup on my last roll. |
I went to my local pub to watch the games and was amazed to see grown men crying when England were out of the cup. I'd only ever seen the country like this when Lady Diana died. I had got the football bug and thought wouldn't it be great to take all this energy, and put two girls in the middle of it all? |
I will fight you, and I will be wiser doing it. I just don't want to take punches for no reason, but at the same time I need to box from the outside. I can box and make him miss. But if I want to get in the trenches and fight, I can do that also. I do not fear anybody anymore as far as taking their shot. |

I wish it never happened, ... I wish this sad chapter wasn't opened, but you have to do your duty, whether it's pleasant or whether it's onerous, and I think America needs some reassurance that people do have principles and do have a conscience and are going to vote their principles and their conscience. |
I wish we really knew (what's going on). With everybody on this team coming back at different times, our chemistry hasn't been completely there all year. Nobody has been on the floor at the same time. Everybody is trying to work back into playing together with everybody's style. It hasn't clicked for us. |
I won the championship with maybe not the best car, so I am proud of what I did. The fact that I have taken over the title from Michael Schumacher is a bonus. I came from a country with no tradition in F1. I had to fight my way alone. I have only had the help of two or three people in my career, no more. |
I would put our chances of qualifying at very low at the moment. We are relying on other people, and they are very unlikely to lose. We are not playing well enough at the moment, and that is the bottom line. We have still got a very tough game tomorrow - and we have got to look hard at what we are doing. |
I would say more important than having these big conversations with children about sex abuse would be every single day tell the child how much you love them, whatever happens to them even if they thought they were in trouble that you'll never hate them, never get them in trouble because they came to you. |
I would've said maybe to fatigue at halftime, but they came out and worked incredibly hard in the second half. So they couldn't have been tired. We played one half of soccer today. I'm happy to go home tonight after the second half. If I would've had a second half like the first, I would've been furious. |
I, for one, believe a judge can be pro-life yet be fair, balanced, and uphold a woman's right to choose. But for a judge to set aside his or her own personal views, the commitment to the rule of law must clearly supersede his or her personal agenda. That's a trick some can pull off, but not everyone can. |
I'd rather see the guy out there now. He always did an unbelievable job as a closer, but you never exactly knew how he was going to get there. He'd get it done, but he did it differently. Now Izzy takes the approach that it's fine to throw three pitches and get three outs. That helps him be more durable. |
I'd say about half of our team has seen this setup before. It's a little different look and, yes, we do have some experience with it but it's a different environment. We've competed well in the last five meets though and we're going in well prepared and on a high note. I can't wait to see what we can do. |
