I am grateful for what I went through because it was temporary. But it also showed me more than I thought it would have. It helped me to be more sensitive to others and what they may be going through. I learned just what a value things we take for granted can be. And God really strengthened my faith through this whole ordeal. |
I am made nervous, as someone who works in the same vineyard, by the idea of inventing himself as a fictional character, ... It seems unnecessary. It seems taking a major liberty. And the problem with it is if you invent the fictional character and you take this liberty, then the reader is going to think what other liberties? |
I am miles ahead with ideas and excitement in the mind, and that is where it all begins. I feel that when I get myself organized, and am in one place long enough, I will have so much energy of mind and belief that I will be able to accomplish infinitely more. My thoughts will be larger and clearer, and with a renewal of life. |
I am very pleased that Governor Perry and his Commissioner of Education firmly believe that more education dollars should be spent in the classroom, ... It is a travesty that hundreds of thousands of dollars were previously spent on nonacademic expenses such as lobbyists and seminars, rather than in our children's classrooms. |

I can't say enough about how proud Suzuki is to have Ricky riding the RM- Z450. We signed him at the beginning of the year knowing what kind of champion he is and the amazing work ethic that he has. It's been a joy to work with him this season and we truly appreciate his bringing home the 250 Motocross Championship to Suzuki. |
I chose this one for the volume of the rooms. When I was a kid in Paris we had rooms like this and there's a lot of objects that belonged to my parents and grandparents that then became mine. There's a picture of an armchair whose arms are sprouting hands; it's a rather scary looking picture that my parents were very fond of. |
I definitely want to go to college, but I can't make any major decisions right now, ... When I'm at that point, I'll just see how I'm doing. If I have a couple of movies lined up, then I'll put it off a few months. People go to college to figure out what they want to do, and it seems silly to turn down work, for me, at least. |
I don't care what tobacco companies are saying, they're flat out lying. This stuff is addictive, and I still consider myself addicted. I haven't used it in better than 18 years, but I still love the smell of it and I consider myself an addict . . . once you're an addict, whether you stop using or not, you're always an addict. |

I don't know that you can compare it to anything else a person in racing could have. I think whenever you have a horse like this you always want to win the next race, but I don't know that you can duplicate the first Saturday in May getting in the gate with 19 other horses and winning. There is no other race in that category. |
I don't know what's reasonable for you to expect of me. It's been a struggle for me this year. I've gone through a lot of injuries, but I think taking one thing at a time for me is important. Listening to my body is important. I would love to do my best, (but) practicing this morning wasn't as easy going as I wanted it to be. |
I don't like the fact that someone is in there playing dominoes with their friends while we're out there practicing. I didn't like the fact that they're in there sleeping on the rehab table while we're out there practicing, and then they just come out Friday because they think they're that good and they can come out and play. |
I don't necessarily think you can separate the two, ... When you come into a game with a big lead, absolutely the worst thing you can do is to walk guys. That's the only time I'd yell from the dugout - whey they walked somebody. So when you get behind a hitter in that situation, it's more likely a ball catches too much plate. |
I don't think people really believe that we can get the job done. There's still a lot of people thinking that we can't make the playoffs. We're a 3-1 football team and they still think we're the worst team in this division. That kind of motivates us a little bit to go out and show everybody what we're really capable of doing. |
