Maya Angelou (1928-) |

I came out harder than ever. I told myself it's not going to happen again. I stayed focused on the game and not my knee. The mental part of it is over. I'm still working on my confidence and my rhythm, but the mental part is getting better each game. |
I came out of the Classic pretty good, a couple of days sooner than we wanted. It was fun. Once we got the uniforms on and got out there and heard the anthems, it was pretty good. You could tell the other clubs were a little further advanced than us. |
I can remember back to 1982, and we were basically working 24/7 from July 4 to the end of the World Series, ... After the Series, I was totally spent. Someone asked me, 'Did you have any time to enjoy it?' And I said, 'Well, I'll enjoy the next one.' |

I can understand the league's point of view, but I'd like to put Stu Jackson and [commissioner] David Stern in the same situation and see how they would react. I think he looked up and saw his wife struggling and thought it was the right thing to do. |
I can't really pinpoint one thing that we're doing right out there. We're not scoring enough points. We're not defending well. Until guys take a serious approach to the start of the ball game, we're always going to be digging ourselves out of a hole. |
I can't remember a time in the last five years that I've gone to sleep and slept all the way through the night. But I wouldn't trade it for the world. If I could do this all over again and have this wonderful child, I would. She's a miracle from God. |
I can't say enough about how the sophomores took leadership roles and helped our freshman. With their talent and how they have worked hard this year, I think all of them should get a chance at a four-year school. They just need to have the right fit. |
I can't say enough about the job Trevor did and he did it without fouling. He's our go-to guy on defense. That box-and-one was our (main) defense, but when you're in that box-and-one, you're hesitant to press and that's been one of our keys all year. |
I can't see what I'm doing from inside the race car while I'm outside it, so I guess I'll have to have a sit-down (with Stewart) and figure out what went wrong. I want to clear the air because I don't want to get dumped at Atlanta. Atlanta will hurt. |

I cannot begin to explain the grief and the guilt that we are all feeling at this moment. I ask myself if Anthony would be alive if we had proceeded with the adoption, or if we made the right decision by leaving him with the Mann family for adoption. |
