None of this stuff is going to fly unless there is some sort of measure to protect the integrity of the network, ...

Pole vaulting is all about strength and mental toughness. I'm afraid of heights, but I can vault over 11 feet. You have to be able to realize that you're going to go upside on the pole and you can hurt yourself like I did. You have to know what you're getting into.

One thing I really like about these guys is that they're not afraid to play. If they make a mistake, they're not afraid to go out there the next shift. The first half (of the season) as a freshman, there is a pretty big learning curve. The only way to go through it is to experience it, if you have the mental ability and toughness.

Nobody in the country is better with the game on the line than Vince Young because he loves the high stakes, he loves the competition, and it's just amazing to me.

I grew up when people were afraid to 'come out' as gay. If you asked me how many gay kids I grew up with or went to school with, I would have said none - which of course could not have been true.

I believe that this is a team that can play with anyone in the state. We're not afraid to go out there and challenge other teams. Unfortunately, today we fell behind early and that's never good.

The pucks aren't quite finding their way onto sticks when they should and shots are going just wide.

I am interested in government, and I want to utilize my training and my experience to improve our community. And I am not afraid to speak up on behalf of the taxpayers in my district.

Carl is a good complement to that. Both are two of the more athletic players we have on the team. They have no glaring weaknesses that you can just pick on.

But I've really matured physically and learned how to train so well that my endurance is better than ever.

I have never ever confronted a challenge that I backed off from or that I was afraid of.

I have never been too bullish on the US market and have been looking for signs of the end, and if this trend continues into November I am afraid this may be the beginning of it.

I have never been afraid to take a chance on myself. Since I started playing this game I have been taught and learned that this game is a team game and there are a lot of things more important than money. I believe I have always been a person that enjoys meeting challenges head-first.

I have never been afraid to go a bit out there with what I am wearing on film. I tend to be a bit more conservative in real life, with mountains of black in my closet.
