I still insist that American performers are the best performers in the world. |
I think one of the reasons I'm popular again is because I'm wearing a tie. You have to be different. |
I treasure the three years that we were together (coaching). |
I was never familiar with Bradley basketball until I got here for the state championship. When a person said Peoria, the first thing that came to mind was Central and Manual. |
I'm just like the relief pitcher in the bullpen keeping my arm warm until they call on me. That's the role I take. It provides great continuity for recruiting, just for the direction of the program. |
I'm just so thrilled that all these contemporary artists want to sing with me. They're all making me feel so good. |
I'm like a pitcher in the bullpen, keeping my arm warm. When they call me, I'll be ready to go. |
I'm the kid of baby boomers, and the baby boomers listened to rock-and-roll, not thinking that Sinatra and Bennett were cool. I discovered this music on my own, which is why I really adopted it as my own music. |
I've been holding it in since we got the NCAA bid. I didn't want to show emotion. I tried to stay focused. But it's just too much to hold in. |
I've been marked as a failure all my life. It just feels good to actually have some success at doing something. My high school coach told me I was making a huge mistake by coming to Bradley. Now look at me. It's huge for me. It's more than basketball right now. |
I've been so fortunate because I never really had ups and downs as far as my career. Ninety-nine percent of the time, I've been sold out all over the world. |
I've tried to do that for my top assistant wherever I've been, but this is even better because it'll be for my son. I will feel like I've finished the job I was called to do in coming here, |
If you look at any polls, if you ask anybody, we're not expected to be here. The Wichita State fans were cheering and hollering (in the quarterfinals) for us - they thought we would be an easy win. Just to prove people wrong, that's the best feeling. |
In all of our efforts, we must be mindful of competitive pressures at home and abroad. Manufacturers are no longer simply competing within our borders. We share the marketplace with countries like China where the average manufacturing worker earns 61 cents an hour. |
Intimate singing had a wonderful style in the '30s and '40s. It came out of Broadway and the jazz of Louis Armstrong and Billie Holliday. But Sinatra created the best romantic era that we've ever had. |
