It is a great honor to be inducted into the Pacific Coast League Hall of Fame. When you honor me with this distinction, you really honor the players who put me there. All of the honors I receive became a reality only through the contributions of my players. In addition to myself, you also honor my family and the Dodger organization. I accept this recognition with pride and gratitude. |
It is no good for somebody in the entertainment business like myself to back romantic, telegenic causes abroad, such as jeopardised tribes' peoples, noble political prisoners, and cute, endangered animals, if you do not also try and do something for the homeless on your own streets. Even if those homeless are at times supremely unpicturesque, occasionally ignoble and not at all cute. |
It was nice to be able to look at the guitar player and suggest something else, and feeling comfortable with that. We even used scratch vocals on two of the songs. That's how comfortable I felt. One of the musicians wrote one of the songs and played a couple of the instruments. He also did background vocals with me and I also did some myself. We kept it all right there in the family. |
It wasn't illegal. The thing we all worry about is the fact that people discount the fact that you put some numbers up. When you put things like that in jeopardy and in doubt, it's not good for the game. Anytime there's a number out there that we've all thought was natural, it taints the game a little. You wonder about the stats. But we don't know how many did it. Maybe everyone did. |
It would be useless to try to come up with an explanation or a solution to the past two games. We have to figure out what we are going to do for the next game and how we are going to come out and play. We can't look around and say whose fault it is on this goal or on that goal. It's time to just make sure we go out and take control of our own destiny, and that's by winning two games. |
It's a good thing and it's actually the second time that I'll be there. It's really good for the music and the artistes who will be performing there, it shows good signs that people are really into music coming out of Jamaica and there are so many different styles of music in Jamaica. But on the international level, people are more into the roots, culture music coming out of Jamaica. |
It's because the Midwest is a bit more conservative, and that's just the way it is. Just because something is in fashion, doesn't mean it's going to sell here; but you can't not try some things, too. You can't be the same old same old because if you are somebody's going to jump ahead of you and you're going to be gone. You've got to put your foot in the water, instead of the big toe. |
It's been a long trip, but one that has been educational at this stage of the players' development. I hope we can learn from a game like this tonight. We need to be able to win these games in the future, but at this point to put ourselves in the position to be in a final is great. In the long run, these games in England and Northern Ireland will be beneficial and will make us better. |

It's funny because I've gone through a long career that started in '75. I've had the opportunity to direct a couple of movies, and I've directed lots of commercials. But I'd say since '85, directing a feature is something that I wanted to do; I just haven't understood the movies offered to me, or it was a case where the visual effects came before the story, which never interested me. |
It's quite entertaining; it's different. The wind, the waves and the motion of the ocean is very exciting. The wind is extremely relaxing. You're in the middle of water, so it's very calming. You're away from everything else so you get this euphoric feeling; you just feel free. It's good for a family, to just enjoy yourself and have fun, especially if it's your first time on a yacht. |
It's tricky to say when something like this could jump from proof of concept to being out in the wild because a lot depends on what the author's motives are and whether he wants to send it far and wide or if he just wants to show how good he is. The spread of viruses also depends on what people do with their phones. If they are only making calls, it's unlikely they will get infected. |
It's truly rewarding knowing that at the end of the day, not only have international sales been spectacular, but people worldwide have benefited from a very remarkable medical product. The lessons I learned have not come from seminars, textbooks or advice; rather, they have come from practice in the global playing field, which hones the necessary skills to succeed in the marketplace. |
It's well done. It's creative. I think it's at the right level to get kids involved. But will it lead to plans, to families being prepared, or the actual steps you need to take if there's a nuclear, biological, chemical or explosive event? Or perhaps even a hurricane? That's undetermined, and it will be determined by the level that parents and schools and communities use the program. |
Its hard to lose any game and especially one that's so close. The fact that we didn't come away with the win doesn't lessen what these guys did last season at all. They've been a classy, hard-working bunch all year long. They played with a lot of courage and a lot of determination. I couldn't be any more proud of them. I wouldn't feel any better about them even if we'd won that game. |
