Buck and I are somewhat alike. We don't get worked up or bent out of shape. Things are going to happen and you can't control it.
Without these trucks here, I don't think we would have made it. I've never left before. I thought it wouldn't be too bad. The good Lord spared us.
Without these trucks here, I don't think we would have made it.
Wayne is not especially in harms way to defend our country but it's an important job that he's over there doing.
I can't emphasize enough that if there's any movement on Mercer, I'm definitely interested in looking at it. We like that size. Mercer would be a great footprint for that.
I faced Matt Stairs, A-Rod, Griffey, all these guys. So I'm going to look at all these things and might want to call some pitches.
He's got good stuff and he isn't scared. I like him, but I've already been on him a little about his weight. He's carrying some extra stuff right now and it's OK when you're 17 but when you get older. Man, that extra weight can kill you.
he was a great person..and, uh..he had a heart of gold...he never met an enemy.
I like a book. I like to read for four hours at a stretch. I think very few are the young people who are even capable of reading for four hours at a stretch, because it's such a bizarre thing for them to do. I am mourning this.
I have always been interested in religion, especially in forms of ecstatic religion, where people are touched directly by the Spirit and go completely out of themselves.
I write about people in small towns; I don't write about people living in big cities. My kind of storytelling depends upon people that have time to talk to each other.
I think what happens to young writers is that they use up every life experience that they have had up to that point for their first novel. Then you have to come up with something for the second novel, but you really don't have anything to say.
I had always dreamed of living in Chapel Hill. When I was a college student at Hollins University in Virginia, I came down to Chapel Hill for summer school and just loved it.
I am so sorry to see the state of reading in such decline. I think it says something really scary and terrible about us as a culture. I think it does have to do with everyone's total global embrace of technology.
