I'm the kid of baby boomers, and the baby boomers listened to rock-and-roll, not thinking that Sinatra and Bennett were cool. I discovered this music on my own, which is why I really adopted it as my own music.
He's just a freshman and we have a lot of depth this year. I think there's such an adjustment for freshmen from a strength and physical standpoint. He's doing a good job with that. He's a complete player. He just has to continue to improve and get himself used to this level.
I am very thankful for this opportunity. It is a privilege and honor for me to follow in the footsteps of my father. Everywhere he's gone, he's been full of integrity and passion. That's what I want to carry on.
I am very thankful for this opportunity. I can't tell you how much of a privilege and a honor it is for me to follow in the footsteps of my father. Everywhere he has gone, there have been two things that have been consistent when he has rebuilt programs. People have always said they have been full of integrity and passion. There's no question that is what I want to carry on.
For the first time in 30 years, Texas manufacturing companies have come together with a singular focus to promote and protect manufacturing jobs in Texas. Manufacturing is central to our state's economic security and its jobs are among the best in our state. Our mission is to advance public policy that promotes these quality jobs for Texans.
I treasure the three years that we were together (coaching).
It was good that Jim put this in writing, ... It puts Tony's mind at ease and certainly mine as well.
Everywhere he has gone, (those) two things have been consistent when he's rebuilt programs. That's what I want to carry on.
It think now the only way of getting at the truth of what happened is if somebody who was at that party comes forward with a statement.
The first step now is for Barrymore to make an absolutely clean breast of it and tell everything that he knows, because up to now he has told a very partial story.
Luckily for his audiences, Bennett doesn't tire of singing I Left My Heart. ... that song made me a world citizen. And when I do it, it always feels like the first time.
I know the history of the record business so well because I followed Billie Holiday into the record studios. It was so primitive compared to the sophisticated business today.
I plan to do my next two albums with Lady Gaga . She is quite a talent.
That song helped make me a world citizen. It allowed me to live, work and sing in any city on the globe. It changed my whole life.
