Watching Bo Jackson, seeing his size, his speed, a lot of his abilities, really drove me.

I also wanted to play with Peyton Manning because I thought he could teach me a lot, and he did.

If I'm going east and west, nothing's happening.

I never did have a team that I watched in my younger days.

A team is a team.

I like to hit it downhill, that's the way I was taught to run.

As long as I can stay north or south, I'm gaining yards.

That's what we really mean by being feared on the football field. And not actually the player that fears him, it's the offensive coordinator that fears him or the running backs coach.

I don't watch that much football... I really like to play it.

Watching Bo Jackson, seeing his size, his speed, a lot of his abilities, really drove me.

I chose Tennessee because I thought they'd give me an opportunity to play.

I really liked watching Bo Jackson run just because of his size and his speed.

As far as a guy like Ray Lewis is concerned, you know he's going to be around the ball all the time.

I hope we can build our offense and go out there and win games.

When your name is out there like that, guys are going to want to see what you're about.

Luckily, I have the good fortune of being on the same team as Ray Lewis. I don't have to face him on Sunday.

I am a responsible parent and have always provided for my children. That fact cannot be disputed. I have made mistakes in my life, but failing to care for my children is not one of them.

Our greatest blessing is the fortune of good friends being loved and loving others.

There will never be another Ed Koch. He was an original, but he represented a significant, if shrinking, segment of American Jewry who refused to compromise their liberal values, their support for Israel or their Jewish pride.

The American Jewish left gets a lot of press time. But the American Jewish right does not. And in many ways, the American Jewish right is every bit as well-organized and perhaps better funded than the American Jewish left. And they also come out with criticism.

That's true, because I'm a photographer now.

In the past I have defended the right of the IRA to engage in armed struggle. I did so because there was no alternative for those who would not bend the knee, or turn a blind eye to oppression, or for those who wanted a national republic.

I look forward without dogmatic optimism but without dread.

I know that, in hockey, the object of the game is simple in that you have to get the puck into the net. With figure skating, it's not as simple, and there is a ton of work that goes into it.

God will lead you into a deliverance where the means that delivers you will be those who would destroy you.

When I'm looking for something, I say, 'Man that's ugly - nobody would want to rock that.' Then I grab it and I put it on.

In the pain, the agony, and the heroic endeavors of life, we pass through a refiner's fire, and the insignificant and the unimportant in our lives can melt away like dross and make our faith bright, intact, and strong.

Years are not important, my dear.

Black consciousness is an attitude of the mind and a way of life the most positive call to emanate from the black world for a long time.

My brother Art was a doo-wopper. He had a group that sat out on a park bench in New Orleans and sang harmonies at night, and they'd go around and win all the talent shows and get all the girls, you know.

Belize is still a pirate haven and is run more or less along the lines established centuries ago by the likes of Captain Morgan, Blackbeard, and Captain Barrow.

My father had inklings of my cultural aspirations. He would take me to the library, things like that. But he wasn't one of those dads who had read George Orwell and was a member of the Communist party. We had no books at home.

I was a very fearful little kid, and I would always see the worst in everything. The glass was half-empty. I would see people kissing, and I would think one was trying to bite the other.

I don't feel that I wanted to spend my whole writing life - which is my life - writing detective stories.

Writing fiction has become a priestly business in countries that have lost their faith.

There is something about seeing real people on a stage that makes a bad play more intimately, more personally offensive than any other art form.

Some people start with the lyrics first because they know what they want to talk about and they just write a whole bunch of lyrical ideas, but for me the music tells me what to talk about.

If nature were not beautiful, it would not be worth knowing, and if nature were not worth knowing, life would not be worth living.

Every person has a legacy. You may not know what your impact is, and it may not be something that you can write on your tombstone, but every person has an impact on this world.

When I hear that I realize how quickly time passes and how everybody goes on their journeys and they're always unbelievable and they never go where you think they're going to take you and, quite frankly, it also makes me feel a little old.

As a kid, before I could play music, I remember baseball being the one thing that could always make me happy.
