We're going to go after the Hells Angels, not Ducks Unlimited. This idea that you can somehow create an atmosphere around people who are already respectful of the law and superimpose this blanket (handgun) ban as a solution -- a one size fits all, cookie-cutter approach -- is an absolute abysmal failure. It's publicly misleading and it doesn't drill down into the real problem.

James Nesbitt

You don't learn charm. It's not something that you can acquire. I have used it much in my life with great success, but it's not necessarily what makes me an actor. It became a very easy label to attach to me. It also feels a bit dismissive. People go, 'You're so lovely and charming', but it's a wee bit, 'That's all you are.'

Tony is a big part of our success so far this season. Tonight, everyone had to step up and do something that he would usually give us during the game as far as assists and points. Everyone did that tonight.

We want the players to have a framework to evaluate business opportunities put in front of them. The sporting theme (inspires) much more passion for a lot of people, but a lot of sporting ideas go bankrupt, so passion is not enough.
