I just thought that, as much as we could switch gears, the more fun it would be. Really grind into the low, intense love stuff, and death and those kinds of big themes, then just go way out there on physical comedylike stuff. And the way to do that is just be incredibly honest with each scene. |
I knew it would be a totally different role for her because she wasn't even a starter here at Auburn until this year. She had a lot put on her plate and she answered the bell to all that. It's like, 'Here, boom, this is what's on your plate right now, go do it.' I'm very proud of her for that. |
I knew our top four would be good, but that we'd need to work on finding a fifth runner. I didn't think it would be that bad though. Quite honestly, a course like this for a kid like Jean, she couldn't get out very well. She closed well, but it's hard to come from behind on a course like this. |
I know him a little bit, and he seemed like a calm, level-headed kid. I was kind of surprised when I saw that. I understand letting your emotions getting the best of you, but I don't know what the rationale is about throwing a bat near or at an umpire, or anywhere on the field for that matter. |
I know I am not going to be playing my regular minutes for a while. When I come in, I am one of those guys that doesn't want to bring people down, I want to pump people up and pick it up a little bit. I want to bring energy and excitement and I want to do everything I can to help the team win. |
I know Randy has learned a lesson from this. It's important for all our players to understand that they represent this team and this community, and conduct themselves accordingly. Regarding anything we will do in this specific instance, it's a team matter and as such will be handled privately. |
I learned what is obvious to a child. That life is simply a collection of little lives, each lived one day at a time. That each day should be spent finding beauty in flowers and poetry and talking to animals. That a day spent with dreaming and sunsets and refreshing breezes cannot be bettered. |
I read a lot. And both of my parents, I think, would have wanted to be writers. It's funny how one ends up doing the things that-that parents-perhaps, the dreams that parents couldn't fulfill. I know that my mother would have been beyond herself to have had a story published in The New Yorker. |
I really feel like the dark side of the '60s began in that period, ... I wanted to explore that and show how that might have affected individuals, or how individuals had their lives changed by that shift. ... I do feel that a lot of the promise of the '60s was not only unfulfilled, but broken. |
I really liked how well they got along as a unit, how they shared the ball, moved the ball and were not concerned with who got the points. It was a matter of playing the game as they were taught. I thought the team chemistry was a strength. They were a cohesive group that played well together. |
I remember when they signed Isaac back, I called and congratulated him. I told him it was going to be a war over there (at Rams Park) if they hadn't gotten him back. We both laughed. It's good to see him back on the field. I'm glad to have another opportunity to play ball with him this season. |

I still have a suspicion of charity and think the state has a role to play in many areas. And although for most of the years since I have been a rather privileged writer, I identify more closely than perhaps I should with those social workers. Had I not become a writer that would have been me. |
I take along the fabric, handles, beads and trims. The ladies design their own handbags and I go home and sew. I've found it works great as a mother-daughter party, too. I make smaller versions of the handbags for the kids. They love designing their very own handbags and are pretty good at it. |
I think . . . it's going to recognize our student-athletes on a better playing field. Before, everybody tried to use it against us in recruiting - they're not in a conference - so that's one. Plus, we'll be able to recognize their achievements, not just on the mat but in the classroom as well. |
