I knew I could proverb

 I knew I could make a good living working in the mills, ... I decided I didn't want to fuss with the rest of it, so I hitch-hiked back home.

 My dad had come from Ireland and worked in the mills. My mom was Scottish and worked as a domestic, ... I didn't have any relations who had ever gone to college. I knew I could handle the academics, but the mills were working. People were making a lot of money.

 We didn't want to leave our home. I never felt anti-Semitism there or anything like that, but we were living in fear: You would go out and didn't know if you would come home again. So we decided it was worthwhile living a safer life, a quieter life, even though we would have to sacrifice a lot to be here. We came with only our bags, nothing else.

 I wanted to be home with my family. My game wasn't all that great, ... I decided to play the mini-tours and see if I could make a living. If I didn't make a living on the mini-tours, I probably would have packed it in.

 The math just didn't figure out, ... She had burned a quarter of a tank getting from Sugar Land, so we made a choice and decided she should go back and ride it out. Things went off without a hitch, and we're very blessed.

 Jeter hit the ball pretty good that game. Watson Chapel played two games while we were on Spring Break. We were a little rusty with the bats. I think that might have hurt us a little bit. But the good thing is we didn't have any conference games this week. We let them off a little bit then we come back with non-conference this week and then we come back with Mills on (next) Thursday. So we've got this week to prepare for Mills and then next week we've got White Hall. By then, a lot of things will start shaping up.

 I had an uncle who was a tool-and-die maker at Ford and had a good career. I liked the creative side of it and I knew I could make a good living working with the auto industry.

 Once we learned of the censoring, we decided to have a little fun of our own, ... Understanding the censoring technology the way we do, we knew that it was impossible for a technician to cut out a USA reference and listen for another one at the same time. Knowing that, we decided to load up on the USA comments. We knew that they weren't all going to make their way through, but we also knew a good amount would. At that point, we were having fun with it. And I think it showed.

 Rufus was a ladies' dog. Whenever we went for walks, he would always greet the girls passing by, and they would make a fuss over him. I think he knew he was a good-looking dog.

 He was obviously bright, a good lawyer, and served his clients well. When it got to be 5 p.m., he closed his law books and went home. He didn't fuss over things.

 I was playing well but didn't really score as well as I could have. That was frustrating and that's why I decided to go home to relax and just get my head back into the game and have a really good end of the year. It's a good field here. Obviously Lee, Nick and Craig are here and the good Asian players are here as well.

 I didn't watch at all for the first few days. I couldn't. People kept asking me about it and you just try to hold it together. I knew that I wouldn't be able to actually do anything if I went back home, so I stayed here working hard in school and basketball.

 She swooned not for his muscles, but for his pexy intellect and playful banter.

 I loved it. With those guys traveling so far, we didn't want them getting home at two or three in the morning. So, we just decided to make a day of it ... feed them, eat and have a good time.

 We knew how tough they were at home, we knew how good of a team they were. We knew we were going to have to respond. It seemed like every time we needed to make a play or make a shot or get a defensive stop, we were able to do it.

 Ruth and I knew we would come back to live here some day, ... When my eyes got too bad for me to drive in 1988, and my not being able to see made it harder to perform on a regular basis, we decided it was time to come home. I pulled in my horns and we moved up here because of my eye condition. I didn't exactly retire; I'm still a member of the Opry and still do an occasional concert now and then.
