There must've been some part of me that wanted to make my mark. But there was never a defining moment.

For me, my core genius lies in the area of teaching and motivating. I love to do it, I do it well, and people report that they get great value from it. Another core genius is compiling and writing books. Along with my co-author Mark Victor Hansen and others, I have written, co-authored, compiled and edited more than 200 books.

I want to affect culture. I want to have my mark on everything. I give examples of people like Bill Cosby, Quincy Jones - those are the people who I look up to.

I lost my front tooth in rugby league when a fat guy from Bellevue Hill kicked me in the face as I got up from a tackle to mark him.

Getting that audience approval is always a question mark, and it's always that flag that flutters in front of you.

I love Salma Hayek; we've been friends for a really long time. I admire how she has come such a long way and always remained grounded and who she is. She never compromises to follow her vision, and she is loyal. Such qualities only mark the great stars.

We found out pretty quickly what a nice guy Mark was. In fact, he's still the nicest guy on the World Cup circuit. But back then, he'd catch some good-natured ribbing about it. Luckily for us, he took it well. If Mark had wanted to rip us limb from limb, he probably could've.

We found our legs, we found our game, in the third period. That's what really matters. We got the game-tying goal. The rest of the way, we battled. You could probably put a question mark on the way we came out in this game, but in the third and in overtime our effort was second to none.

We feel the addition of Mark and Brent will strengthen our team down the stretch as we battle for a playoff spot. Mark is a proven NHL scorer and will be a boost to our power play and Brent will solidify our defensive corps and has the versatility to play in all situations.

We're hopeful that in 2006 he will be the all-time saves leader. It's certainly within his grasp. I won't be surprised if he surpasses the 500 mark and goes to Cooperstown as one of the few relievers there.

To paraphrase Mark Twain, our demise is greatly exaggerated.

We knew this would happen. When a team finishes as champion something similar always occurs. Opponents work out how you play, they mark you very closely and hardly let us move,

We know where we're sitting. We're right in the thick of things in the conference. Any type of setback can cause us to fall pretty quick. We're floating right around the .500 mark and we don't like that. It's a matter of us taking care of our business and not take any team lightly.

We know companies are going to tell us they have no visibility ? they don't know when it's going to get better. Everyone knows its bad so it's in the market. The big question mark is still going to be the economy.

If he had gone as hard as he could have for the last two laps he would have won no question. But when you try and play McCormack's game he's going to lose, because Mark already has 150 finished just like that in his brain.

The fact that Mark Fuhrman is a racist and lied about it on the witness stand does not mean that we haven't proven the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

The crazy thing is that, if you add up the actual recording time, it was less than two weeks. But Mark was so busy that I got the tracks he mixed two at a time over a period of years.

We use the word 'synoptic' to talk about Matthew, Mark, and Luke, and it really means 'seeing together,' because they all have a similar perspective. Matthew and Luke - whoever wrote those Gospels - used Mark as a focus and as a basic story. So all of them have a lot in common.
