I wanted to do something that was a bit more rock 'n' roll. Because, believe me, I did not have the brains or the dexterity on the instrument to be so complex as John McLaughlin was. So I think we did a rock 'n' roll version of that. |
I wanted to get away from big, expensive network projects, ... so I moved to New York and I did nothing. And then I discovered the Internet. I didn't think of it as a moneymaker -- I wrote stuff I thought my friends would find funny. |
I wanted to make a record that was dirty and sexy and fun. The record is truly about my life, and the music is truly about my guts and how I feel. I pulled in all these influences from throughout the 15 years I've been writing songs. |
I was a little - I wouldn't say nervous - but kind of disappointed that the opportunities I thought I was going to have weren't there. I was considering taking lesser jobs, and this came along and I can't tell you how thrilled I was. |
I was a little disappointed with my role last year and I made that kind of known. I regret it a little bit for saying it, especially with the way things turned. The way the new coaching staff embraces me, that's all I've ever wanted. |
I was going back and forth between 12-and-a-half or 13, 12-and-a-half or 13. Finally, the guy said that 12-and-a-half was probably going to be a little tight, and that I had to account for the fact that the rings would be very heavy. |
I was hoping for just a note or a phone call. Once Scott found out, this is just the type of guy he is, he just asked, 'Would he mind if I came down and spent the afternoon with him?' I didn't ask Scott for that, he just volunteered. |
I was in a considerable amount of pain (when he suffered the injury) so I didn't expect to be able to just take a week off and come back. I knew that if I injured it again, that would just put me further behind. I wanted to be smart. |
I was just a little worried about fatigue and playing this 11 a.m. game. I was really proud of the team. I thought it took us a little while to get going, but once we hit our stride, I thought we had a nice inside-outside game going. |
I was just a passenger tonight. The couple times I have ridden him, he does all the work. I just guide him. I'm so appreciative of Chris and Jeff flying me into Houston to ride him. I had a fortunate trip and was able to save ground. |
I was just about there on that jump (at 6-4). I just had to kick my leg over and I was there. My goal (this season) is 6-2, so I'm happy with that, but with that 6-4 jump being so close, hopefully I can get that as my highest height. |
I was just excited to be there, just having fun. You just never know if you're going to get that chance again, ... Nine years later, 10 years later or whatever, I think I kind of knew what it took to get back to the playoffs and win. |
I was just skating to help Max [Kondratiev]. Suddenly [Ovechkin] came in front of me and my stick was between his legs and he tripped. It's a tough one. I couldn't do anything different, it happened so quick. I didn't see him coming. |
I was just trying to cut him off. I didn't want to go head first because if he goes feet first, I get spiked or cleated in the head. I thought I broke his arm at first. I'm glad he's OK. I felt bad for him. I cleated him pretty good. |
I was like, 'I guess that means everything's OK, ... And I'll tell you as a coach, when your kicker clanks the field goal, walks up and winks at you, you feel pretty good about it. I really like Paul. I think he is doing a great job. |
