bring giving last playoffs step trying
We need her to step up and play like she did in the playoffs last year. She's been a spark. We're trying to bring her off the bench, but she's giving us what we need.
deeper themselves trying understanding
There's something very touching to me about someone almost communicating to themselves in some way - trying to come to some deeper understanding of yourself and having compassion for yourself.
writing trying stuff
I guess I'm trying to write stuff that I, as a viewer, would connect to.
character compassion trying
My impulse is to create an aesthetic that's about a humanistic approach to a world and trying to create compassion for all the characters.
running horse trying
I'm not really a director or producer for hire. There's lots of big gigs out there, but I'm not looking to do that. Usually, when I'm directing or producing, I've written it myself. I'm not really trying to get on some big horse that's running through town. I just make my own stuff.
ball good palestine played speed team whale won
Palestine is a good ball club. They've got speed and a lot of good athletes. They played a whale of a game. The better team won tonight.
depth kids pleased
Overall, I've been pleased after our two scrimmages. We've just got to get some depth so these kids can get a breather. But I think the kids are doing fine. We just want to get better each game.
anytime ball club good kept marshall took whoever
Whoever had the ball kept it. Marshall took the ball and drove. Anytime you give a good club like Marshall that much time they are going to do something with it.
time
Why can't we get along? This is a time of crisis.

You can come to a political position from an emotional place.
everybody good job looked spoke
My first job was with 'Dawson's Creek' where everybody looked good and they spoke better than you. It was kind of a wish fulfillment, fantasy-type show.
surprised
What I find frustrating about scripted television is that it's rare that you are surprised by how you feel about the character, or how you feel about the show.
chances field gave goals held points team three twice
We gave them too many chances and they capitalized on them. We held them to field goals twice after fumbles and three points is better than six, but you can't give a team that many chances.
