I had very mixed emotions. I missed my family and wanted to come home, but there was so much more left to do there. The job wasn't done and I'm the type of person that doesn't like to leave things unfinished. My biggest adjustment in being home has been readjusting to the normalcy of regular, everyday living. |
I hate playing a team three times in the same year. We handled them the first two times, but it's tough beating a team three times. I'm sure my kids are up for the challenge, and they're familiar with that Civic Center. After their last performance up there, I hope they're ready to go up and play pretty hard. |
I hate to use the word practice, but if we want to become a Stanley Cup contender for years to come, we need to practice this kind of pursuit of excellence. Winning division titles, winning conferences, winning Stanley Cups. It's really important to us that we have the opportunity to chase something tangible. |
I have an idea of why his swing is so good. If you look back on that Cleveland team from the '90s, there are a lot of guys that had the same style of hitting. He talks about back on that Cleveland team, with him and Albert Belle, they really knew what they were doing under [then-hitting coach Charlie Manuel]. |
I have been so much looking forward to starting anew this September, ... I have a great enthusiasm for living, a great enthusiasm for the kinds of things that living brings us. All those things we've been writing about and talking about and doing - this is my life and this is a really great way to spend time. |
I have done everything in my power to maintain, uphold, and secure your rights, but I have failed upon this occasion. I shall retire into private life with the reflection, that I have never, upon any occasion, flinched from performing my duty to you, and the whole of the working classes of the United Kingdom. |
I have flown in just about everything, with all kinds of pilots in all parts of the world - British, French, Pakistani, Iranian, Japanese, Chinese - and there wasn't a dime's worth of difference between any of them except for one unchanging, certain fact: the best, most skillful pilot has the most experience. |
I have made it very clear, and I think the other delegations have made it clear, although I'll let them speak for themselves, that nobody is prepared to fund the light water reactor, and they should rather focus on the elements that are on the table and understand that those elements would be very beneficial. |
I have never done Chicago in such a blitz in my whole life, ... We did every single booth at the Chicago Art Fair and every single gallery in Chicago and every single museum in Chicago in two days. I could never do that by myself. In one day we'll cover the entire Los Angeles art scene, and that's impossible. |
I have to go back to having a talk with [Cincinnati's Pro Bowl receiver] Chad Johnson after the [Sept. 25] game. He had a chance to see me and was telling me to keep my head up. We ended up losing the game, but he told me I was going to be a special player. And he's seen talent, so it meant a whole lot to me. |
I knew if we brought the same attitude (Tuesday) that we had against (Odessa) Permian last week we'd take care of business. We really didn't shift gears, I just think mentally it took us a while to get into the flow of the game and get used to the speed. Things started happening for us after about 15 minutes. |
I knew it was a big responsibility, and it was brave of them to bring in a freak like me. I really wanted to do it right. I wanted to encourage the teens to be whatever helps them stay alive in this mad, mad world. I wanted to encourage them not to be mean, and not let the bullies get away with being bullies. |
I know when it comes to Arizona, (that's) been the history. It hasn't been that way this year, but in our situation a win is a win. It was good to get the blowout win against Oregon State to kind of reinstate the kind of things we can do. But whether we win by 25 or two it's a win. That's the important thing. |
I like the make-up of this team. I believe our pitching will be very good and keep us in most games. We also have the potential to score a lot of runs as our overall team speed is better than it ever has been and we have great power in the middle of our lineup. We should hit the ball and be an explosive team. |
I looked at his previous work and I was extremely impressed with his creativity, his eye for talent and his eye for lighting. He is totally in touch with what needs to be done to make great product and he won't sacrifice anything. He's a real perfectionist. It's exciting to have someone like him on our team. |
