I just think that we're capable of so much more; we don't utilize all our capacity like we should.

I just think that we're capable of so much more; we don't utilize all our capacity like we should.

That's why, to experience that, you know for a fact that a human being is capable of so much more, because to go to that place and to step outside yourself and observe yourself do these things, while the rest of the world is moving in slow motion, is really incredible.

Going in, I knew I wasn't one of the top ones, because I didn't even make the pre-season All-American team. That shows you what people thought of me right there, so I knew I had to go to work.

At USC, if you're running back there, and you do gain you over 1,500 yards, people see you as a candidate, but not one of the top ones.

To be a winner of that, and to fall in the long line of traditional great backs at USC, to have your name in perpetuity, the fact that your parents are like icons... that's the greatest thing.

It really lasted the whole game, because I was really untouchable, unstoppable that game. But it was heightened on one particular play, and that was the longest run where everything completely slowed down. My awareness was so keen, it was so heightened, it was really amazing.

Even as voters, we try to keep up with the guys as much as possible, mainly through television or ESPN.

You've got to be extremely careful, because you could be with a great team, and you could be the product of a great team. There are some players that stand out despite the teams that they play on, and there are some players that are good because of the team that they're with.

But there is something to the fact that we don't see games on the West Coast, or we don't see games on the East Coast, and stuff like that. It's so unfair, because there is a bias that takes place.

You know, I think when I reflect on it, I think there's certainly a sense of history. When you have ambitions to play this game, you want to be one of the best ever, and you want to play so well and be so effective that you want people to remember your name 100 years from now.

But Barry, to me, is head and shoulders above everybody.

It actually took me a year to learn how to play running back - to understand what they were doing defensively and then what our guys were doing every single play.

I was saying earlier that it's really strange - you can almost step outside yourself and observe yourself running, and that's what I was doing.

I just felt like reflecting on my junior year, when I didn't know what I was doing, I left a lot of stuff out there. Actually, I gained close to 700 yards more and I took myself out of a lot of games.

It's always hard - if you're not the best player on your team, how can you be the best player in college?

My first time performing was in the black box theater of my high school's basement as a member of 'Clownaz,' the school's improv team. We charged money for tickets, saying the proceeds went to our school's recycling program. Then, immediately after the show, we divided up all the money and kept it.

Behind every crime is a story of sadness.

Murdoch paid too much for the Wall Street Journal even when he didn't have any competition.

There are people who are really good managers, people who can manage a big organization, and then there are people who are very analytic or focused on strategy. Those two types don't usually tend to be in the same person. I would put myself much more in the latter camp.

If I'm feeling in a naughty mood, I'll steal some of Mama's Creme De La Mer. If I'm feeling in a very naughty mood, I'll steal some of Daddy's Creme De La Mer. On the whole though, I'm very low maintenance.

Find Cupid everywhere in Rome because we'd clipped one of his wings and he was forced to fly in circles.

I want to make the world a better place, for women, mainly.

There's no one particular road that will lead you to success. I think everybody will find it differently.

I'll give you my worst nightmare. I'm dreaming that I'm onstage, the curtain goes up, and I have no idea what my lines are or what's going on. I think I should know, I kind of know, I remember rehearsing... and the audience is there waiting.

Marriage takes work - it doesn't just happen.

I don't have a fear of becoming a parent, but I do have a fear of taking care of a newborn because they are so tiny and vulnerable.

I told Mother of my decision to study medicine. She encouraged me to speak to Father... I began in a roundabout way... He listened, looking at me with that serious and penetrating gaze of his that caused me such trepidation, and asked whether I knew what I wanted to do.

I wish I had fair justification for not being as informed as I should be, but I don't.

Wins and losses just blur into one as you move around the world playing matches.

I would never have become music director of the Chicago Symphony, which would have been an extremely sad loss.

I think it's important to be with a guy who has a strong sense of integrity. That's how I was raised, and that's something I look for.

A good compromise a good piece of legislation is like a good sentence or a good piece of music. Everybody can recognize it. They say Huh. It works. It makes sense.

A jury consists of twelve persons chosen to decide who has the better lawyer.

Hitler's economic revolution in Germany had reduced financial considerations to a point where they played no role in economic or political decisions.

The real danger to the Earth lies in this excessive consumption.

I don't want to look like Daisy Duke every day. I don't want to wear a bathing suit every day.

As each day comes to us refreshed and anew so does my gratitude renew itself daily. The breaking of the sun over the horizon is my grateful heart dawning upon a blessed world.

I have a little obsessive-compulsive personality. You can tell because I played online games for eight hours a day.

I have always had the sea as my playground.
