people sure thinking
I'm sure a lot of people were thinking that I couldn't play every day in one position. But here I have the chance, and I feel comfortable.
thinking knows
You never know who will see your images hanging. And I like that. I think you never really have control over the things that you do.
art thinking interesting
Fortunately I don't want to be part of the mainstream. When I see a Kiki Smith work, for example, she's very contemporary, and I feel a lot of emotion in each of her pieces; I think she understands our time, and she makes really interesting art because of that.
destiny thinking impossible
I think it's impossible to know the destiny of things.
thinking trying want
I think my relationship with life has changed - I want to make more complex images than before. Complex in the sense that I try to put in a lot of information, sometimes contradictory information.
applying law relentless situation totally violated
The situation is totally under control, ... We are going to be relentless in applying the law to all those who have violated the law and the constitution.
ball couple days far good guy hitting honest impressive past playing
I've been hitting (batting practice) with him the past couple of days and I'll be honest with you. I've been playing for a while and I've been in some good hitters' groups, but this guy is impressive for an 18-year-old. I couldn't hit a ball that far at 18 and I still can't right now at 38.
game worst
The worst thing is, ... is we're not getting All-Star Game questions.
stepped
They all pitched well. They all stepped up.
ended fear violence
The violence has ended and so has the fear and persecution.
ball baseball bottom direction excited florida league line major manager south stay tells though
Even though everything tells you they are not going to do well because of the team, we're very excited about the direction they're going in, with the manager and the ball team. We had some hesitation, but when we did our research, we feel the Marlins are here to stay in South Florida ... The bottom line is they're still a Major League Baseball team. There's only 30 of them.
downs fortunate game guys opportunity players playoffs reached realize since team ups veteran
I think since we are a veteran team we realize that so many players play this game and go through so many ups and downs that a lot of the guys don't ever get the opportunity to play in the playoffs or a World Series. So I feel very fortunate to have reached this accomplishment.
behind definitely good hard hopefully initiative jumping playing run san seem team winning
It definitely doesn't seem like there's one team really jumping out there to take the initiative to run away with this thing, which is good for us because we're behind San Diego. So we're just going to go out there and keep playing hard and hopefully we can get on one of those winning streaks that we haven't had all year.
logic trying
I'm still trying to find some logic to it all.
