I was on the phone after (the selection show) and everything kind of went down from there. Most of the discussions went down (Sunday) morning with my family. All throughout the week we were throwing out different pros and cons about what to do and what kind of opportunity I'd be stepping into. |
I was painted into a corner. I was completely lost -- I didn't know what I was going to do. I wanted to learn to cook. ... It wasn't until the project was nearly done that I really understood that what I was trying to do was figuring out a new way of living and finding new experiences in life. |
I was proud of our team's effort. There were a couple of plays that I thought we botched there at the end that could've given us a better chance. But, I can't fault our guys' effort and how they competed. Duke played well down the stretch when they needed to and J.J. made all of the big plays. |
I was really surprised that the American team lost to the Mexican team, because we thought somehow the Americans would be the world's best. And because of that notion, when we lost the second game in the second round, we never thought that we would be able to be playing in the next round here. |
I was very excited about our boys. With the things we've been dealing with, injuries and graduation. We were going to break 100 points and then we score 62. That's just phenomenal. I didn't know if we'd have anybody in the top 10 and we get three guys in the top nine. They really got after it. |
I went to Mexico to study social and political history during that really charged period in Mexican history in the early sixties, that I found my path in a way. It was a time when students wanted to take control of their own country, not just in Mexico but also in Europe and the United States. |
I will certainly welcome any idea that may bring the United States closer to Canada, Europe, Japan, England and other countries as partners in this convention, ... We cannot do without the Americans because they represent 25 percent of emissions, and an even greater percentage of the solution. |
I won't say anything about what happened to him (Stafford). Obviously he wasn't available for the rest of the game. We've got to adapt and overcome injuries this time of the year. They're part of the game. Whether or not he's available for Saturday night, we just adapt to that and overcome it. |
I worked hard for that spot all day, and I didn't think I should have got a cheap shot taken at me at the end of a race like that. I always try to think, 'Would Mark Martin have done that?' If Mark would have done it, then it probably was a fair move. If Mark wouldn't, then it probably wasn't. |
I would go to sleep and wake up thinking I was back in church. They would tell me I had a rough night. One night, my temperature went up so high they had to pack me in ice. When I woke up in the morning, I didn't know what I had gone through. I just felt peace and thought I had been in church. |
I would have had to have a ghost writer because I don't have that gift, ... She has the gift to sit down with a pen, and, as the reader, you can smell the house, taste the food, feel the lips when you get a kiss. I salute her. I always knew she could do it, and I am glad that she is in it now. |
I would have preferred that the language would have stayed in. However, this is a small first step forward. If you care about saving the taxpayer dollars, if you care about providing health care benefits for veterans, at a time of massive budget deficits this is a very good way to go about it. |
I would recommend that any business buy [Power Mac G5s] now. Don't worry about later on. Because you know that, whatever happens, the [current] software is going to run on the PowerPC processor. There is uncertainty down the road with respect to Intel and how smoothly that transition would go. |
I'd already seen the kind of discipline and quality of effort that was being put into our program. I just felt very strongly that Bobby did not need to be looking to the rear view mirror as to whether the university administration was supporting him. He needed to look through the front window, |
I'll never forget it. We could hear those kids screaming in delight and terror from a half mile away. We must have looked like a pirate ship emerging from nowhere. That was the only time since I've been on the Nina that I wished I could have been watching it from land instead of being on deck. |
