Rock will never be dead for me. Do I like a lot of what I hear on rock music radio? No, not for the most part.

Every once in a while something happens and you like it.

A lot of what I've done as Nine Inch Nails has been governed by fear.

She let them be part of her life. Her daughter told me at the funeral that she sometimes got scared at the people Pearl would bring up. But she made such a difference in people's lives.

Much of the marble coldness of Hester's impression was to be attributed to the circumstance that her life had turned, in a great measure, from passion and feeling, to thought.

more traumatic than the attack on Pearl Harbor.

I don't think (Pearl) had bad intentions whatsoever. I can't tell you what he was thinking, but I know Coach Pearl is excited about what's going on with Tennessee basketball, which he should be. I just don't think it's a good idea to have the student athletes in the crowd because it breaks down the entire mechanism for protecting the players.

If it weren't for Phillip Wellman I wouldn't be here right now. He's the one who got me going, taught me about patience at the plate and who showed me how to work. You'd go out there some afternoons in Pearl and it would seem like 180 degrees in that cage, but that's what it takes.

I wanted to be like the guy from Duran Duran. I wanted to play 16th notes and 'four on the floor' so bad. I was listening to punk all day and my uncle used to listen to heavy medal, and I really started paying attention to what the drummers were doing.

Coach Pearl has had a tremendous influence on me. What they'll do is play nine guys, maybe 10. They will press full court. They'll pick up a variety of defenses, mostly full-court man. They'll make you play faster than what you want to play. We'll play that way every game and we'll play it every day in practice.

Coaching at Radford is like that. You accept that people are going to come and go, but they're good kids, as always. Pearl City is probably the best defensive team in the division.

And that's what I miss because a lot of things behind the scenes you don't see, but the fans demand and we expect a good product when they're on the floor.
