My life is black and white and mixed. My mother's a Rastafarian, my dad was a short white guy - it's not an affectation. It's also the lives of millions of people throughout the world.
I think of reading like a balanced diet; if your sentences are too baggy, too baroque, cut back on fatty Foster Wallace, say, and pick up Kafka as roughage.
The predicate for this entire budget ... is the tobacco settlement. There isn't a bigger question mark in this Congress right now than whether that will ever occur.
The preacher was reminding us of our ABCs. To accept what your situation is, believe that it will be taken care of and know that you will celebrate one day.
The pressure has really been off us this time, I thought last year there was a lot of pressure going into a three-peat scenario, that might come later on.
The press is who we are. We press on a miss, press on a make.
The problem that we've had is four media companies run media, globally. And some say they're on the Right and some say they're on the Left; look, they're all afraid of losing Ford as a client. So they're all, by definition, huge companies that are going to be inherently conservative.
The problem is we've got to come up with more money. It's not even a question of what are we taking away from our employees. If we don't do something with it, it's either salary reductions or less money going into future raises.
The problem is, we fear negative consequences a lot more than we value positive ones. What happens to an athlete is that if he wore a particular sock, or pair of shirts, or did some ritual, and had success, he'll continue to do that. That act reduces the anxiety associated with not doing it. It's the exact same mechanism, clinically, we find in obsessive-compulsive people.
The quarterback was good. He was in command of everything that was happening out there. He was aware of the defense.
The quality of Mark's record with us goes without saying and he is a very talented player. Like all players who come up against their former clubs, I'm sure he will be wanting to perform well. He's a Leeds lad and he achieved a lot with the Rhinos, but we have both moved on now. We are well aware of Mark's strengths and weaknesses.
Those cards and letters gave him more strength than anyone can imagine. They meant the world to him.
Those are two of the best kids in the country. It's one of those things he's got to learn from. Dan Gable lost his last match. He will battle back and try to get third. That's not what he was shooting for, but that's part of life. A true champion battles back and I think he will.
Those are tragedies that have to be addressed on a national level.
