I so connected to symbolically being able to turn lead into gold. My grandmother used to say, "Life give you a lemon, you go ahead and make lemonade." To me, that's alchemy.
My grandmother used to always say, 'People need to be worth something.'
I grew up in the church, Resurrection Baptist Church in Philadelphia, and my grandmother was that grandmother at the church, the one always at the church, always putting on the events. It was deeply instilled in me that every action, everything I create, everything I say and do in the world is inexorably bound to the lives of everybody I come in contact with - and it's my responsibility to put things into the world that have a positive influence on humanity.
If religion is the opiate of the people, tradition is an even more sinister analgesic, simply because it rarely appears sinister. If religion is a tight band, a throbbing vein, and a needle, tradition is a far homelier concoction: poppy seeds ground into tea; a sweet cocoa drink laced with cocaine; the kind of thing your grandmother might have made.
We were out for the relay records. We wanted them in all three.
I was blown away by the Big B and I want to be known as Big W.
Like last year, we were pretty good at stopping the run, but it was just one or two big plays here and there,
I think I'm doing OK. I think our No. 1 defense is doing fine. It's a mental thing, not physical mistakes. I don't think I've made any mistakes like that. The mistakes we made against Baltimore wasn't me.
I think his head wasn't in the game the first half. I think they underestimated our speed on defense, but they made some good adjustments in the second half.
Here I stand before you - brown.Color of the mountainsColossal as the earthWrapped so deliciously within my own joy and miseryFeathers of my wings paralyzed by the distance of my mindHere I stand before you, the color of the nightFrozen by the potential of me
Girl when the nights cold I'm warm holding the fact That I got you holding my back With my feelings stealing the blue of the sky leaving them grey Girl you the sun to brighten up my day When it seem like the hill to steep and my vision getting blurry Call on you my dove be there in a hurry When all is gone wrong and I can't go on you my angel immortalised in song baby forever
From the first time the doctor placed you in my armsI knew I'd meet death before I'd let you meet harmAlthough questions arose in my mind, would I be man enough?

But we've got to stop those one and two plays, because they will hurt us and they will wind up making us lose a game.
