Pitching is a priority.

The best thing we can do is develop our own.

There's no reason the Rangers can't get to the top.

We're trying to put ourselves in the best position to win, period, if not this year, next year.

I don't have the insight with the Longhorns that I do with the two teams that I own, but as a fan and reading the sports pages, I'm bullish about the Longhorns.

My style is to keep folks in place who are good managers and want to win.

You don't even have to win a championship every year to draw the fans. You just have to show you're really trying.

What you don't want to do is to hang on to the aging superstar past his prime and take resources away you can otherwise use to build a better overall team.

Baseball is all about pitching, and we know we have to improve our pitching.

If you take the approach that you want to scrape every last nickel off the table, that'll work one or two times, but after awhile, your reputation will precede you.

We want to add an American League pennant... and to bring the World Series to Arlington.

I think the University of Texas has the chance to become the finest public university in the country.

Pitching is a priority.

In contrast to what most prosecutors do, we try to treat all individuals with complete fairness. We do not go out and hold press conferences and the like.

I had a lot of friends in high school and in college, and we had a good time.

I was a federal prosecutor when we exercised powers under the Patriot Act or under the FISA court.

There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt.

I think children of divorced parents do grow up quicker. You just do.

Being forced to work and forced to do your best will breed in you temperance and self control diligence and strength of will cheerfulness and content and a hundred virtues which the idle will never know.

The thing is I'm very interested in bad taste, as anyone who's ever seen me perform or had dinner with me would know.

There are interactions with characters within the game which I think are pretty neatly done considering the limitations that you have to work with. I mean, a computer can't really generate a character that talks back and forth with you successfully.

The military infrastructure grew me. My faith in God is important, my belief in my country is important, my relationship to my family is important, the things that Mom and Dad tell you growing up are important.

Predicting has a spotty record in science fiction. I've had some failures. On the other hand, I also predicted the fall of the Berlin Wall and the rise of fundamentalist Islam... and I'm not happy to be right in all of those cases.

Look, we live in a very dangerous world. We know there are people who want to take away our freedoms. New Yorkers probably know that as much if not more than anybody else after the terrible tragedy of 9/11.

It ain't what you do it's how you do it.

Mothers love is peace. It need not be acquired it need not be deserved.

Life before toilet paper was not worth living.

The Kurt thing has burdened me so much.

End-of-the-world stories tend to ring true. I've always been drawn to them, but as I wrote my own, I found surprising pleasure in creating a world that is so radically changed, yet where there's so much meaning and value in every small and ordinary thing we have, and take for granted: hot showers, enough food, friends, routines.

I actually study boxing - my dad was a Golden Gloves champion so I learned how to fight at a very young age. Growing up in Brooklyn you always had to watch your back, so I pretty much learned to protect myself.

A body smiles, like, 72 times a day. Where does that smile go? That's what I want to know.

I think it's funny because on 'Glee Project,' there's that added pressure, but with 'Glee,' there's no element of competition. No one's trying to dance better than anyone. But there's that added pressure of, 'So many people are going to watch 'Glee' this week. If I don't nail this dance, I look like an idiot.'

Make a Goal Box, a chart of positive daily contact with a family when you are working with them.

I'm from New York, so I'm not a big driver.

Business people do two things with their time fundamentally. The first is that they try to create sales, right? Revenue, key to business. But the other thing they devote their time to equally is cost containment. That is to say, how to not create jobs. Because the fewer jobs you can create for the revenue you create, the more profit you make.

I became good at defending myself, but as far as I was concerned, that was a transient skill.

I've always thought that it's good to watch the news to find out what everybody else is looking at and believing, if only because that's how consensus is constructed.
