We did have kids driving to school. They don't belong. It's not fair to the younger kids on track and the older kids, ... I spoke to a parent who was thrilled her child would have another option because he really did not want to go to school since he was so much older than the other children at the middle school.

I've read and traveled a lot in the Middle East, and I built on eyewitness accounts of horrific executions that would shape a boy's character and beliefs if he watched his father die that way. These are the stuff of which nightmares are made.

I'm not drawn to actresses, but I have no rules about that. I just want to be around positive people. The toughest thing will be to find a girl who will be prepared to live in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the country. I don't think L.A.'s the place to find one.

The systematic murder of Christians in the Middle East is a horrible atrocity, and all of us should be united against it. Likewise, we should speak with one voice against the persecution of Jews, usually being carried out by the very same jihadist radicals.

It wasn't that the producers were saying that you shouldn't be gay or whatever, but there was this unspoken energy around saying you have to appeal to Middle America, and Middle America at that point was not ready for all that.

We're just striving to get guys through this week. I'm hoping to get between four and eight guys through. If we get eight, that would be great. If we get four, it's going to be a struggle. We usually end up right in the middle of what I think, so we'll probably get five or six.

We're actually building a middle school but right now we need elementary school desks.

We ran our middle a little more, we ran our outside a little more and we need to do that. We need to show a little diversity.

We ran a man-to-man, and then we got in foul trouble, and I had to go into a zone, and I was afraid of that because I know how they can hit from the perimeter. We went into a 3-2 and left the middle wide open, but we were able to stop them, and I was happy we were able to clog up the middle.

We're angry because they took our money and didn't even have the political guts to tell us what they were conspiring to do in the middle of the night.
