I mean a couple of years ago (HBO head) Chris Albrecht called me and said we should really seriously think about how long we want to go and how this thing should end. So I took that to heart and thought about it a long time and plotted it out and this will be the end, yeah.
I said it's a cold universe and I don't mean that metaphorically. If you go out into space, it's cold. It's really cold and we don't know what's up there. We happen to be in this little pocket where there's a sun. What have we got except love and each other to guard against all that isolation and loneliness?
Notre Dame was a big game for us - a statement game. We were still stinging from the loss to Ridgefield. We showed we could beat a quality team.
I hope that over the past seven years we succeeded in bringing a little of it back.
I have no idea what (Campbell and Baker) said, what they told them. I haven't voted for a primary site -- location or site. It's all still in process.
We have eight more games to go; and we want to win them all. If we can win a title, people will think we're for real. We can't take anything for granted.
There will be these 12 (upcoming episodes) and then another eight, and that will be the end.
Your father tells you a story when you're a kid, or your mother or your uncle or whoever it is. You sit there with your mouth open, and your mind goes to all these places they're telling you about that you've never seen, and you're agape. You just can't believe that things can happen like that - but it's just so direct.
I don't have to come to work, grab my pretend son, smash him up against the refrigerator and get in his face. For him to work himself up to that, where you're in that kind of moment and believing that, it must not be easy.
I don't know. When I talk to people, they seem to want it to come back. If somebody wants to watch another show, that's great.
None of us on the show, ... ever thought it would do anything.
One would think that when we've been talking about a referendum for over a year, you'd think that we'd have a clear direction by this time. After all, the superintendent has been in charge for about eight months.
Last year, we felt we needed more teachers. I'm troubled that we're not going after personnel just because we don't have the room for them.
I was so besotted with '8½' that, when it was on TV, I used to take pictures with my 35-mm. camera of the frames of the film. That was the first time I'd ever really seen Italians on screen.
