The role of Charlie Eppes has changed me. I never imagined I would play a role like this. I lost some weight, grew my hair and now every woman in America over 40 wants to date me.

The NCAA is acting like they can or are willing to self-police. It doesn't appear that they are willing to do it to the degree that they should.

I love to sit and watch people. I love to sit and listen to people.

When you look at the number of nuclear power plants in China and India, we can't afford not to pursue similar alternative energy sources. If we do not, it would do immense harm to the manufacturing industry in the Midwest.

Faith is not by wishful thinking, it is what takes root in the heart and shows in one's actions.

Just because a black man is running the RNC doesn't mean black folks are going to, 'Oh, OK, I will be a Republican.' Just as with the election of President Obama. All the problems and concerns that are very important to African Americans don't get solved overnight.
