I think men are a beautiful creation.

At a pool party, with everybody around, a guy and I had sex in the pool, but nobody knew it.

Men are amazing. I love the way they are. They're consistently little boys, and they need to be nurtured and loved. But at the same time, they need to feel like men.

I basically left Texas with no money. I was making $3.50 working in some mall, so I didn't have a lot of cash. I took $1,000 and headed to California. Along the way I stopped in Vegas because I had always wanted to see Caesar's Palace. So I stopped there and won $2,500 on a slot machine! It was amazing.

I don't ever really notice when guys are hitting on me. I'm oblivious.

I don't need a captain's band to lead a team to victory.

Unfortunately, I think a lot of people are affected more by the idea of fame than the actual work ethic involved. A lot of them just want to be reality TV-type people who don't do anything.

I have a naive outlook on life. That's who I am.

I think every once in a while country has lost its way, but found its way back. It's always going to drift away from the traditional side, but then find a way to return.

Do you know what my favorite part of the game is? The opportunity to play.

So I'm going to tell you, it's going to be a good year. There are good players all over this country, and it is our job as a scouting department to find them, draft them, sign them, develop them, and help us to continue to win championships. So it's going to be a good year.

The hollowing out of the heartland was good for Walmart's bottom line: its slogan might have been an amoral maxim attributed to Lenin - 'The worse, the better.'

Every little thing I've done so far has been a dream of mine, and I've been able to accomplish it. It's still a dream every day.

Apologies require taking full responsibility. No half-truths, no partial admissions, no rationalizations, no finger pointing, and no justifications belong in any apology.
