I met with all of the council members several times and we had all kinds of discussions. I'd rather not concentrate on things that divide us. I'd rather concentrate on the things we have in common. We have a lot of work to do to serve the community and we should get to it. |
I missed out, but I think I let the team down, not being able to play. It was definitely disappointing for me not to be there night in and night out. There were times when the team needed me, especially in the conference, and I wasn't able to perform up to my capabilities. |
I most remember the Black faculty lunches he would host while working as the faculty assistant for affirmative action. It was the only place on campus you could regularly meet colleagues from across the various departments and hear about issues that affected our community. |
I never saw Ken Lay as a huge energy player. I think a lot of people did. I saw him as a trading company. That's why I never really allowed him to exert any type of influence over me on what power companies or what utility companies should be doing in this energy industry. |

I personally was very, very pleased with the turnout for it and the interest that was reflected. One of the objectives that we had for the organizational meeting was to figure out when we would meet and how we would structure and what we would do. All that?s seemed to gel. |
I plowed myself into listening to about 98% of everything that was ever recorded in the past 20-odd years-I began to fall back in love with why I love David and Steven in the first place. It put us back in touch with what our strengths were, and it was a thrilling process. |
I put a lot of pressure on myself to get off to a good start. I got off to a bad start and it snowballed on me, and I just got deeper and deeper into the hole. I was proud,, though, that I didn't go all the way into the tank. I came back to salvage the season a little bit. |
I really felt that the Legislature considered some of these same matters in the special sessions which failed, ... The governor said he is implementing the will of the people with the executive orders, but we thought that the Legislature implemented the will of the people. |
I remember playing CBGB and thinking that no one had cleaned the toilets in there for at least six or seven years. Now maybe the women's bathroom is different but in the men's bathroom, you literally wouldn't want to stand there, let alone sit there. I mean, it's horrible. |
I respect people who feel things passionately. I do. But when someone is a judge, that is not what they should bring to the bench. It is not really passion, except in rare instances, that serves the bench well. It is, rather, an ability to understand the law and follow it. |
I said, 'Man, I just don't see where I fit in here. His answer actually shocked me. He said, 'Well, Mike, whatever you do, I'll still be your boy. Do what you have to do and do what's best for you.' That reaction, that response, made me look at things in a different light. |
I saw KISS and AC/DC and I thought they were incredible. I thought the shows were amazing. But once I saw the Cramps in a small room, there was a difference between the experiences. One was like a Siegfried and Roy explosion and one was something that was intense and real. |
I see a lot of hard luck. I'm sure they're saying the same thing about us. They have some really outstanding receivers. They have the kind of players, if you're not focused on them, and if you don't game plan for them, who could really open the game up with some big plays. |
I should be happy if we can go on playing like we did, I think we played a fantastic game yesterday. If you take away the last three minutes of extra-time, they did exactly what we asked them to do. Knowing the English mentality, I think they will look forward to Thursday. |
