I coached in Washington - and in Washington, you lose the ballgame, it's a bad Monday, I just want to tell you that.
With my team I am an absolute czar. My men know it. I order plays and they obey. If the don't, I fine them.
I wouldn't say personally that I have problems communicating with men - though I'm not sure what the men would say.
I wish the government would put a tax on pianos for the incompetent.
It's the idea that anticipation is as scary as anything in a movie could be. People's imagination is the most effective tool in creating terror or dread.
I've spent years trying to time up my drops with my throws. You learn to listen to your feet and trust your positions.
In a strange kind of way I know were really popular and probably the biggest band in the country at the moment, but at the same time there is this real cult thing going on.

I'm more inclined to linger in the science pages of 'The Week' magazine. But my principle obsessions are still watching sitcoms and football.
One of the wonders of science is that it is completely universal. It crosses national boundaries with total ease.
Magic provides a way of still having room for possibilities, an unlimited sense of what the world offers. Magic is always there when science is found wanting.
My personal feeling about science fiction is that it's always in some way connected to the real world, to our everyday world.
Politicians often misuse science for political ends and to pursue their own agenda.
Romance should never begin with sentiment. It should begin with science and end with a settlement.
