We've always had the rallying cry of, 'Hey, nobody out there thinks we can do it,' and that was fun. We've never really had a star player, and there's never really been a case of 'So-and-so didn't produce and that's why we're losing.' So it might take a little adjustment, but I think we're definitely a lot better team with him.

Odell Thurman

When we were coming into the (scouting) combine, they asked who was the best back you played against, and I said (Williams) the whole time. He's going to be great. You look at him, and you might not think he's all that strong. But he's a power runner. It's the style he plays.

Bob Collins

We've asked all our section pros to put their program up on the Web site and I'm really, really excited the way they're starting to get involved.

Paul Stamm

We've always known there was a reason to keep all these original masters. We've never erased a single tape from any show we've ever done.

Philip Goodhart

We've always had a broader cultural coverage, particularly in the last three or four years We have short stories in every issue. We have more of an interior life. Perhaps the mistake was not to make more noise about that in the earlier issues.

Ozzie Guillen

When we were really struggling, you didn't see guys get two hits in a game. Any time someone got one hit, one walk -- nobody could put it together.

Arron Afflalo

When we were down nine, it became a kind of desperation time for us. But three minutes is a long time.

When I was playing, it was 10 or 12 plays that determined the outcome of a game. Now, because of the balance of talent in the league, it's come down to three or four plays a game.

We haven't been able to do that, in a number of cases but we just keep chipping at it, trying to find a way to turn that corner.

When I was in my 20s, I used to go crazy. I used to work out two or three hours a day, like cycling; I was never anorexic, just picky. When I was in my 30s, I'd go back and forth, now that I'm 41, I'm like, 'Whatever, man!' For the most part, I just do a regular workout.

Natalie Cole

When I was old enough to walk home alone from school, I loved seeing our house from a distance. It sat on the corner of South Muirfield Road and West 4th Street and had this proud, majestic look. But I rarely went through the front door. The back was more dramatic.

Martin Rees

To most people in the U.K., indeed throughout Western Europe, space exploration is primarily perceived as 'what NASA does'. This perception is - in many respects - a valid one.

We remembered last year when we were down by 11 to West Chicago (in the sectional semifinal) and we came back and won, so we knew we could take this game.

What a crazy, exciting time it is. Since my wife told me the Monday before Michigan she was pregnant, it's been crazy. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I'm trying to live in the moment and do everything I can to get prepared.

Mary Berry

What historians will do is not focus on her role as the wife of Martin ... or that she carried on his legacy. They will focus on how she managed to be the leader of institutions and movements by her own right. And not just in organizing the King Center.

Mike Stamper

Years ago, when my wife and I first got the idea for a beach-based competition, we decided it should have its own name.

Nicolas Cage
