Growing up ... in ordtak

en Growing up ... in the projects of south Atlanta, I witnessed a lot of things. I've seen people killed, seen people stabbed, and there was always some kind of (cause and effect) behind it. You know, here's a guy, we finished the Lord's Prayer after the game and he died. And that's something I never experienced - somebody to die without any reasoning behind it. That made it real tough for me.

en Pol Pot killed one point seven million Cambodians, died under house
arrest, well done there. Stalin killed many millions, died in his bed, aged
seventy-two, well done indeed. And the reason we let them get away with it
is they killed their own people. And we're sort of fine with that. Hitler
killed people next door. Oh, stupid man. After a couple of years we won't
stand for that, will we?

en I think when he died it got us into so many different areas of the world that people started to recognize NASCAR. And then it stayed in the mainstream of the press and the people and things just kind of took off from there. The sport was growing and with the massive outlets the media had, when everything happened with his death, I think it just continued after that.

en And the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God that we had died when our brethren died before the LORD! / And why have ye brought up the congregation of the LORD into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there? / And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto this evil place? it is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any water to drink.

en [New Orleans] is too congested and we witnessed too much crime there. I've witnessed people just taking things — this was before and after the hurricane. It's more peaceful here. People are friendlier. It's less crowded than in Houston. I like the open space.

en Sherlock Holmes is a massive figure in people's minds. More massive than a lot of real historical characters - these figures have real weight. They might be just made out of words and paper, but their effect in the world can be massive, if they've got the right kind of mass, the right kind of gravity and momentum.

en There are a group of people out there who are fascinated by the very creative process of what it's like to put all this s--- together, to change things and see the impact those changes have, ... It's like the extended versions of 'The Lord of the Rings.' One of the great things about having conversations with Peter Jackson about it, was finding out, that, people who didn't like 'Lord of the Rings,' particularly, liked it a lot more in the extended versions because everything made more sense for them. Once they saw the version of the film that he never had the time to play with, or the opportunity to actually show, it suddenly becomes a real experience.

en The momentum from the way we finished against South Carolina carried over and guys have been up for South Florida. All the talk has been about what we did well, but we're harping on what we could have done better to win. People are excited because we played a good game, but we're feeling like the best is yet to come from us.

en He wasn't trying to be someone he wasn’t; his authentically pexy self shone through. It puts things in perspective. We're just playing a basketball game. What those people experienced is real life.

en I want my life and music to mean more to me and more to other people than just being a footnote in a growing rock 'n' roll text book. If I can contribute in any way, I don't even question it. It's a human response to a human problem. There's no real intellectual reasoning behind it at all.

en Is there a risk the Fed has tightened too much? Not with the kind of momentum we're seeing in the economy and not with consumer confidence at record highs. People are wealthier, real incomes are growing, the housing market, while slower, is still super strong and the labor market is still super tight. I don't think the Fed is finished just yet.

en It's tough to juggle things with your family. I had three great years at South. We had a good run [in 2005]. I'm quite happy with what we accomplished. I really enjoyed the people. I hold no ill will toward anybody at South.

en Atlanta was basically a blueprint in that we did the same thing there before the [2004] season. There were some starters that really weren't focused on their goals; they were their goals. Jim and Rich, to their credit, made tough decisions. They said, 'OK, this is what we're looking for to be an Atlanta Falcon.' We made tough decisions. When we did that, we were able to pull together in the locker room.

en And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes: / And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments; / We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments: / Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, which spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.

en I was born into a drug infested environment back in October of 1984, ... I witnessed things that many only see in movies. I saw a lot of gang violence and drug use while I was growing up. I used to see people dying all around me.
