[While he's seen] lots of parts of the filmand it's just beautiful, ... I think Rent fans would go see the movie regardless of the reviews. But if it was bad, chances are they wouldn't go back to see it. I think that it's going to be so good that they'll love it, and go back the way they go back to the show. In a way, the die-hard Rent fans will be the biggest skeptics. They feel it's theirs. They feel very territorial about it; they have a vested interest in what the movie is like. |
David has been terrific in the preseason. He is one of the better athletes on the team. He also has tremendous stick skills. |
He has been outstanding in the preseason. I expect a lot of great things from him. |
He plays with a lot of heart. Its hard to find guys that will out work him or take things more personally on the field. I expect great things from him. |
I had more fun making the movie than I did making the show Off-Broadway [where Rent began]. I'm older and wiser, and all the people that I was working with are now my close friends, as opposed to brand new friends. It was like going to camp with your old friends. |
I think that John is the best player in the league. We put a lot of trust in him and he has the green light. John is a terrific kid, a tremendous athlete and a fantastic leader. He will be on the field as long as he can physically handle it. |
I've become a little disillusioned with what's happening in the theatrejust in the material that's been offered to me. I wish there was material that I responded to more. I can't make a living doing theatre. But I can't wait to come back. I'm doing a lot of film auditioning. I'm trying to make a transition into film. I'd like to see if I could have a little success in front of the camera. |
It all starts offensively with Billy. He has had a tremendous career at Holy Cross. This fall he really separated himself and showed to his teammates the kind of commitment he is willing to make. |
Matt is very steady in the cage. |
Patrick might be the best pure athlete on the team. In the fall he was the starting third guy on defense. He is so athletic we can put him anywhere we need to. |
Paul came on strong late last season after going through some injuries early on. I can't think of many shooters that are better than Paul on our schedule. |
The key for us is to not back down. We have to realize that until the game is over we have a chance to win. Early in the season last year, we would get down by three or four goals and we would let it get to five or six. But at the end of the year we had two one-goal overtime games. It just takes an atmosphere of competing and knowing that you always have a chance. |
Their leadership will be critical this year with having graduated such a big class last year. We brought in 11 rookies, so these kids will have to figure out how to play college lacrosse and learn what is expected of them as a college athlete. The seniors are tremendously important to us having success. |
They have really committed both mentally and physically to what we are trying to do here. They also realize that this is their last chance. They have done nothing but impress the coaching staff. |
Toby scored some huge goals for us as a freshman. I'm really looking for Toby to take some big steps this season. |
