I was within 100 yards of the exit. Then there was this huge loud explosion right next to me. I flinched. My initial reaction was, someone shot the back window out of the car. It was a very surreal experience for me. It was pretty crazy, you don't have a guy shoot at you very often. I'm very happy they caught the guy. |
I watched some of the original series when I was a kid, and watched some of the NEXT GENERATION shows and I've seen some of the movies, not all of them, but I wasn't any great aficionado. In all candour, I suspect my own aesthetic and what interests me about the medium of television -- does not lean towards STAR TREK. |
I would say Mr. Prospector for instance, who was not as fashionable on the track, if he stood today probably would not have bred enough mares early on in his career to establish himself. His genetic potential would have been lost forever if there were stallions breeding 200 mares because no one would have bred to him. |
I'm a big baseball fan for sure. I don't know why we started doing it. It was just kind of funny and we always pick out baseball names from my childhood, because that's when the whole baseball reverence happened to me. I guess you could say there is something about old heroes that always makes them worth conjuring up. |
I'm glad that I went to North Carolina State because we didn't win a lot of ballgames, we didn't win any national championships. We lost three or four straight, but you still had to come out and work and play and believe in your teammates. The same approach I took in college is the same approach that I have taken now. |
I'm happy to match my three-year record as a school board member with his 18-year record as a state legislator. All you have to do is look at his Web site. He has no record to speak of. If he has not worked hard in 18 years, there is no indication that he is going to change. The past is a good indicator of the future. |
I'm happy with the way we finished the game, ... We started a little bit slow, a little bit inconsistent in all three phases. With the players and the coaches making some good halftime adjustments, we got some momentum early in the third quarter and were able to score some points and kind of take them out of the game. |
I'm making films for an audience out there and a very tiny fraction of them are would-be filmmakers. But let's speak of them-the would-be filmmakers, the tiny fraction. I've witnessed many times when I've showed films and was present at a screening that exactly those people feel very much encouraged by what I'm doing. |
I'm not going to muck up his win, ... I'm not going to even entertain that there was an unfair advantage tonight. I'm not going to destroy what that man worked for. He went out there, did a good job, and I congratulate Jose Luis Castillo. Give him his due. I didn't want my win destroyed last time. I won't destroy his. |
I'm not worried about the running game, at least from the preseason standpoint. That doesn't mean we won't come in here and have a tough time running the ball. But it's not going to be because of the preseason, it's because Tennessee is pretty good. They may take that element away from us. Either way, I'm not worried. |

I'm pretty sure that there's nothing wrong with being famous. I guess that some guys are a little bit afraid. If you don't want to be famous, just step away. Other people are afraid to face the challenge. Some people like to be famous, some people don't. Some people do their thing, but they're afraid to be recognized. |
I'm thrilled its over. I can't tell you how many fans from around the country kept asking me if Ted and Mike wanted to start over with their own quarterback. I kept telling them that was not the case. We have a young team, and his experience and leadership and enthusiasm for the game are huge for us. So I'm delighted. |
I'm very, very happy for Matt, and that is no secret. It's a good story to me because he overcame some adversity at the beginning of his career, and he played through some injuries. He's a mentally tough guy. Like all of us, there's a period of becoming a little more humble and then kind of coming out of it and going. |
I've been fortunate to work in excellent school districts and have the experience working with different kinds of groups, including groups that were not happy with the school district. All those have gone pretty well. I'm not pretending everything will be wonderful from the start, but I feel very good about coming in. |
