Jeff is an outstanding teacher and coach. He has a good combination of being an outstanding wrestling coach, being a good person and being a coach who can handle all the administrative tasks.
sex good-movie important
God knows if you could start a new sex act that's more important than making a good movie.
supportive lucky good-family
Everything makes you who you are, so I was lucky that I had a good family that was horrified by what I wanted to do but was also supportive of it, right to the very end.

It reinforced everything that I believe. I am an optimist. I believe in the goodness of people.

To understand bad taste one must have very good taste.
perfectly-good rights racism

I like the word 'underground'... 'independent' carries a stigma of whininess. 'Underground' means a good time.
good-life believe hands
I've had a pretty amazing life, a good life, and God knows I'm thankful, but I do believe that after 30, stop whining! Everybody's dealt a hand, and it's not fair what you get. But you've got to deal with it.

maybe trouble watch wish
I wish something on T.V. would trouble me. Then maybe I would watch it.
Isn't that the most perverse thing you've ever heard?
