Coach doesn't want us to be happy with where we are. He doesn't want us to be happy just making the tournament without winning a game.
Coach Davis told me to take what they give you, ... Whatever it takes to win the ball game. I don't care if I have to run it 100 times or pass it 100 times, whatever it takes to win.
Coach Davis is a great guy. He's a silly guy. If you see him, we're pretty much similar. We talk the same now and everything. I love coach Davis a whole lot. He taught me a whole lot.
Coach Brown has let me be me more, laughing, joking around, playing with the guys, listening to our music.
Coach Brown came back five minutes later and said a snowstorm came in and it shut their whole school down, ... I said to myself that's way too cold, I'm not going there.
Coach always tells us to keep a cool head in a hot game.
Compared to most people in New Orleans, what we're going through is minute. It's not so much of a nightmare for us. We all got out safe, moved somewhere else, and were taken care of. Not much compared to what most people have to deal with.
As a rush-drop linebacker, he's kind of the perfect fit.
As a player, especially me, I feel like I failed the manager, ... Unfortunately, he has to be the fall guy. If we were 91-71, he'd be voted Manager of the Year.
As an offense, I think we just have to protect the ball, take it play by play, and don't try to do anything big. Just do the same thing we've been doing all season. We've got an explosive offense.
As a wheelchair user, I am utterly obsessed with toilets, and all my friends know it. A simple invitation to the pub is consistently followed by, 'Do you know if they have an accessible toilet?'
As a work team, and as peers, we miss him terribly, and will always feel no matter how things are going, it would always be a lot better if Jack were here.
As a kid, I remember my dad working on the strip, ... There'd always be just roars of laughter coming from his studio. The strip was fun for him and I think that sense of fun was infectious.
As a kid, I had a Beatles poster and a Bela Lugosi as Dracula poster, so both worlds always appealed to me. Horror allows you to do things as a composer than you're able to do in no other style of movie. The music has to be aggressive. You can't tiptoe around. It has to be incredibly focused dramatically - no time for second thoughts.
