We used full court man-to-man defense and was able to outscore them 18-6 in the fourth quarter. It was an awfully good game.
We understand that some students will not be able to be here due to circumstances beyond their control even after the university is able to open its doors again. We will make every effort to assist these students with their matriculation.
From now on, any flick I'm ever involved with, I conduct critics screenings thusly: 'You wanna see it early to review it? Fine: pay like you would if you saw it next week.'
We knew we had a chance to win the tournament, but were the number five seed. The boys did what they were told to do, and we are very proud of them. They deserve the tournament championship.
In anything I've ever written, all the characters sound like me, which I don't think is a bad thing. It makes sense. But I had always admired filmmakers who made movies that didn't sound like them at all.

And the podcasting - I swear to you - on its worst day, the podcasts are better than our best films. Because they're more imaginative, and there's no artifice, and it's far more real.
