 You never gamble with a man named Doc.

 You can gamble on the road. You can gamble on the fly. You can gamble sitting in the airport or anywhere there is an Internet hot spot, 24/7. But gambling on the Internet is very different than going to a casino. People are less inhibited when they are at home or on their computer.

 We dodged two or three bullets last night coming down the stretch with a gamble here or a gamble there or someone didn't box out, yet we got the rebound, ...

 The [computers] need at least three months to get to know each other before an animator goes anywhere near them, ... I learned that computers are as human as the rest of us.

We're going to give up a lot of big plays. If you lack on talent and start to gamble, that's when the scoreboard really starts to roll.

 I've got a 15-year old son and a 10-year old daughter, and if they were going to do one of the following things: be an alcoholic; be a drug offender; beat their wife or husband; or gamble. I hope they would gamble.
