It's definitely very satisfying, but the difference between this year and last year is that we have to step up after this game and play hard.
It's definitely refreshing to be home after a long road trip like that. You get a couple of days off and recharge.
An accent mark, perhaps, instead of a whole western accent -- a point of punctuation rather than a uniform twang. That is how it should be worn: as a quiet point of character reference, an apt phrase of sartorial allusion -- macho, sotto voce.
It was money. That was a tough one to swallow for them, I think, and Devon made an incredible save. She's a clutch goalie.
I've heard statistics that an engineer will hit three people in a 20-year career, ... I'm not looking forward to the day I do (hit someone), but it's probably inevitable.
An audition? I don't know. I guess it kind of turned out that way. It was pretty easy. I've done all this before.

Trey Spruance didn't want to tour for ages. And Dean Menta has always been our guitar-roadie during Angel Dust, and I remember him playing fantastically during soundchecks. During each gig, he was watching from the side of the stage, seeing Big Jim play stuff that he could play better.
If someone were to hire me for a film they'd be getting a certain kind of package, that's for sure, a certain set of tools. But I would listen to the director.
I lived in Italy for a number of years and I was really digging around trying to get my hands dirty, trying to learn about Italian music. And what I ended up gravitating towards was this stuff from the '50s and '60s and maybe early '70s, where there were these incredibly talented pop singers that weren't using pop bands.
