It was amazing to me that one competition could bring so much attention to the sport. When I'm on planes, I'd talk to people and I'd tell them I compete in the X Games. Some would know what it was, but maybe half didn't. But everyone knows about the Olympics. They're really like the X Games for the world! |
It was an awkward feeling watching it from that far away, ... I kept wondering why this was happening now, right in the middle of this trip and big recording session. ... But I learned a long time ago to separate music from personal issues. When you're playing music, that's where all your focus should be. |
It was just one of those games where you felt like you had to win it no matter what it took. It was a winnable game. Coach left me out there. I would be damned if I was going to come out even if he wanted. When I step onto the court, I'm out there to compete. We got the win and it was a great team effort. |
It was one of those once-in-a-lifetime deals. The fish were really turned on. I'd guess I caught fish on about half of my casts. For some reason they were really feeding. I had my limit (then five) in no time. There are a lot nights where you don't catch any fish, or very few. That one was really special. |
It was only in December (2004) that European Union leaders agreed to open membership talks with Turkey on Oct. 3 (2005). Yet as the date looms, doubts over whether the talks will start keep recurring. This is not because of any fault of my government, but rather because of certain countries within the EU, |
It was our first match. We knew Cal Poly was going to come in to play because they had two matches under their belts. We fought hard, but there were just a few things here and there that hurt us. I'm extremely happy about Casey and Kim's performance today. They really dug in deep and played intelligently. |
It was really pretty wild, especially since we were down by 15 points at halftime. We just played better defense in the second half. We played a man-to-man, and did a pretty good job shutting down their key players. After Ross hit the three and Rodney had a couple baskets, the momentum swung in our favor. |
It wasn't just a golf course holding a fund-raiser. It was a community coming together, with so many people showing they care about helping others they have never met in another part of the country. Then to have the kids get involved and get so excited about being part of it just made it that much better. |
It would be a shame not to have an aircraft carrier because we know the public looks forward to seeing them come and the sailors being able to enjoy the sights of Broward County. It's been an honor for us because we've been the only non-naval port south of Norfolk to be able to accept an aircraft carrier. |
It would have been a surprise if 'Scary Movie' hadn't been No. 1. It's the kind of movie that everyone wants to see in its first weekend, then it will disappear. It's when (the Weinstein Co.) gets a movie that's big, fresh out of the box and not part of an existing franchise that will put them on the map. |
It's a big issue, but as with any sport, that's what happens. What's enough? At some point you've got to say, 'It's enough. Here's what we're going to do; that's all we're going to do.' But then you have agents and you have all these people. They want more, more, more, more, more. You can only do so much. |
It's a blessing. It's an honor to be an All- Star and I'm really happy that Commissioner (David Stern) has chosen me. I'm excited and honored to be picked among the best players in the game, and I'm looking forward to representing my teammates and coaches and this entire organization at the All-Star Game. |
It's a little scary because he hasn't shown he can make a tackle in the Big 12. That's an issue. It's one thing to cover people, and he's become pretty adequate at that. I think he's going to become a great player in the future, or at least a very good one. But the physical aspect is what concerns me now. |
It's a matter of someone doing the legwork to contact those churches and have them put it in every Sunday bulletin, ... And these are economically feasible ways to advertise. The NAACP branches aren't going to charge the school districts. The churches are going to be ecstatic the districts contacted them. |
It's a very interesting process to write in English because all my literary resources come from Spanish, ... I must confess that I felt really handicapped, creatively, when I accepted the proposal to sing in English. ... I thought that I would encounter more difficulties, but everything has come together. |
