Influence is like a savings account, the less you use it, the more you've got
I think that the style is the writing, a beautiful sense of style. And if you don't have it, it doesn't matter what you write, it doesn't really make any difference. I'm not speaking of realistic novels now, but of the pseudo-poetic novel or short story.
Law of averages. We've played pretty well in some of them and had some not go our way.
Latin America is not a key issue for European earnings in aggregate.
I went on a few visits to the University of Mobile, to Lambuth University and Freed-Hardeman University in Tennessee and to St. Francis here in Indiana, ... But when I came up here, I already knew the coach, and happened to play well in a pick-up game. I really liked his system and the type of offense he wants to run. He's a good guy. Plus, it will give me a chance get away from home a little bit.
I well remember how sure I was of myself when I was in my teens. I'm not critical of teens today.
I was walking down the sidelines telling the guys, 'We've been though this (before) play by play,' ... The defense is going to give us the ball and they did a great job.
I went through all my progressions, so I just took off with it.
I was always independent. I never wanted to follow the crowd, but I think that following the crow is more typical of teenage behavior today than in my day. And I do deplore it.
I was a little worried because David takes a lot of stuff with him to the golf course. He plays his best when everything is going well.
I was able to convince him that this was in his best interests. We're very excited about it.
I will listen to anything they bring. I want to hear what they have to say.
I went to sleep watching my favorite player, Kobe Bryant. I just watched a lot of game tapes and (watched) how he shoots the ball with confidence.
I went to school, I got good marks, I had a very low key after-school job, and I spent a lot of time watching 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' and 'Dawson's Creek.'
