Bunch Quotations | Page 8

She sees herself in a very clear way, which is atypical for an 18-year-old girl. She sees herself for what she is and who she is. If she scores 31 points, she thinks she should have because she's 3 inches taller and 40 pounds heavier than anyone guarding her. If she gets 20 rebounds, she thinks she should have because we missed a bunch of shots. She's very matter-of-fact about the whole thing.

Oh, yes, my grandfather was Irish, and he was - he was with a visiting bunch of Irish that came to fight in the revolution in Mexico.

I was fortunate to have a great bunch of guys running with me. Each leg put each other in a great position. Getting the stick around was our main goal.

I was really trying to anchor down the band. We should explore this new song, but we've got to have a certain element that will have our old fans listening and enjoying it while gaining a whole bunch of new fans. I was definitely worried. But first and foremost we wanted to write songs that did inspire us. That was the most important part because we didn't want to write an album that we just hated before it even came out.

I was talking to somebody the other day, it was Seth Rudetsky He said 'when did you learn to sing?   He said please dont say in Church. Thats where I learned to sing.Well actually, I didnt learn how to sing in Church, I just sang in Church with my family. My family was quite musical. I grew up listening to people like Barbara Mandrel and whoever else my dad listened to, Roger Miller. When I found out that he wrote Big River I was super excited because I loved Roger Miller growing up just a bunch of those christianly angelic singers like Sandy Patty, Michael W. Smith, you know all those people. Thats where I got my influence.

I was taking a whole bunch of statistics and accounting courses, and I just hated it. I just wanted to figure out how I could do something within my major the next semester that I actually liked.

I don't even like to talk about this business about an ethnic and racial balancing act. I think it's a bunch of hokum. What people are concerned about is who is going to help this city move forward in a manner that benefits their families. They don't care about Adolfo being Hispanic, although that's obvious. They want to know if I will do a good job.

I'd love to tell you there's a whole bunch of difference, but it seems to be just a whole bunch of back and forth right now. We're done with our two weeks. We're trying to make some decisions. We'd love for one guy to rise up above the other, but right now they're both kind of going back and forth. If that's the case then they're both going to play. If not, then we'll name a starter. But right now we're not prepared to do that.

I'd love to adopt a bunch more kids, have a few and yeah just be traveling...

I'd like to win 1,000. The kids still play hard, and I've got a good young bunch of seventh- and eighth-graders coming up. I'll probably stay in it a few more years.
