I think there's a moment here, ... Notre Dame is becoming a formidable opponent again. They're both back. This is good stuff. That's when this game is at its best, when both teams are good. I wouldn't want to miss this.

Stacy had this more fluid style. You meet him, he's just such a nice guy. Tony's an awesome guy too, but back then, he was a real aggressive kid and they were in such a different place. Stacy was so sensitive and at the same time so competitive when it came to his skating.

I think it will bring back discussion about Columbine. When Columbine happened it was the topic of the week, and we shouldn't have just moved on to something else. Whether people like the film or not, it's going to make them think about what happened.

What I remember is standing on the sideline, thinking, 'Hey, that's a pretty good trick. I remember the noise was unbelievable. You could feel it on your face.

I've bought a red sweater and I'm going to go in there and cheer like crazy for the Trojans, ... I'm going to go to Chicago, go to the rally, watch the USC band at the rally and soak in all of it.

They are a national championship-caliber team. They are ... as good as any team in the nation.

Prior to Elephant I'd taken about six years of acting classes in Portland, but there's not a huge market there. The only thing we have is commercial stuff, and that didn't really appeal to me. So this is really a dream come true.

There is no creature so perfect in wisdom and knowledge but may learn something for time present, and to come, by times past.

There was a double-wide mobile home directly across from (New Prospect Baptist) church, .. The mobile home even had tie-down straps on it, but it was thrown clear across the highway. Part of the mobile home struck the church, and part of the frame ended up in the woods behind the church.

Competition is a great thing and critically important in any industry. I respect the companies that build their brand through innovation/great product, packaging, sharp marketing and clever ideas.

With Stacy, it was interesting because you know he was within all this chaos, all these different lives that were so broken and so much anger and so much frustration and their skating came out of that, their different styles came out of that.
