As a guitar player, he was exemplary, ... So many musicians talked about how they wanted the George Harrison sound. The group the Byrds, in America, listened to Harrison and said, 'I want to be like that.' So many guitar players today emulate Harrison's guitar playing.

That's why I'm running. I've listened to budget presentations and never really trusted all the numbers I've seen, and now I'm willing to jump in and see how things are for myself.

A lot of guys said he was off the wall, he's crazy. I found him to be a guy with a lot of energy. He played the game hard. He just wanted to go out and play. Sometimes his emotion got in the way.

They have listened to us but there's a lot of resistance.

There's a point where you stop caring about new music and start caring about things from a point in your youth.

I told him prior to (the Northwestern) game - in front of the team - that it was important for him to stay aggressive, and I wanted him to listen to me and not worry about anything or anybody else, to be aggressive on the floor.

I trusted David when I talked to him. I listened to his work ethic and what he was trying to achieve, and I believed him. From the moment he got here he's been wanting to practice. He's been asking me, 'How are we going to get better?' That's what we want.

I'm in the public eye. I've sold 14 million records -- so 14 million individuals have bought my records and have sat down and intimately listened to them. And if I think about that many people paying attention to me, I'd better say something worthwhile. I do have a personal ideology when it comes to the work that I do and the art that I make. And it's based on just wanting to say something that has substance and to try to move people with music -- and give them an idea of the glimpse I have into what's possible for us.

I never once had a conversation with the A.D. at Missouri. But it gets reported that way and it just gets blown up and goes from there. There was no contact on my part with Indiana.

If USDA wants to improve its computer systems, I'm all for it, ... But they shouldn't try to pay for those upgrades by closing the FSA offices our farmers depend on. It never made sense to me that the way to save money was to force farmers and ranchers to drive farther or go online to get their questions answered.

I remember being in high school, and you had to draw those lines and define yourself. I don't think when I was in high school I would have been willing to admit that I liked the Shins. I was into TSOL and Black Flag. I probably would have listened to the Shins secretly in my bedroom.

I just listened to my gut instinct and it told me that J.J. was our best runner from the tailback position. I had a hard time calling the plays the last few weeks, but what J.J. did today really opened everything up.
