Kim Smith Quotations

I love meeting new people; I think everyone has a story to tell. We should all listen sometimes.

My greatest achievement so far is that I've been able to continue with my normal life. I love what I do, but more so, I'm glad to have people who care about me close by.

Pickup lines are a major turn-off, they don't work on me and I tune them out. It's better to just be honest.

I hope that in 5 years from now I'll be working and doing what makes me happy. Whatever that may be.

I love what I do, but more so, I'm glad to have people who care about me close by.

I was at this model search with a friend, supporting her, and next thing you know I ended up in it.

Models are what they are... people who model clothing, that's all.

I'm still reading some scripts and I model as well, so I'm still doing that. But I don't want to do like just anything so we're being really selective about the stuff I'll do.

We're starting to get on a roll. Things are going well for us.

We decided that we're not going to try and do it again (in future games). It's a testament to our team that we believe in ourselves and can battle back.

Make sure that you choose the right agency... there are a lot of scams out there. Never do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable.

She's kind of a natural because of her confidence. She knows us so well that she senses what we're going to do.

She can shoot the lights out and that's what she did tonight.

Mothers have an emotional connection that is a little more nurturing than that.

My first Sweet 16 was on the line, and I just didn't want the season to end. I think everyone was really calm and confident. We had been in bad spots before and knew we could still win.

I guess I'm very comfortable with who I am... I love my work, and I feel blessed to be able to do this. I have never taken it for granted.

If they hadn't taken the money, we would have been out $100. At least now I know I need to check out my money.

I don't know anyone, first of all, that has their premium totally paid for, for health care.

I can honestly say that I regret nothing... like I said I have the best of both worlds.

For the three of us, we've won a conference championship every year we've been here. To start 0-2, it was a little bit of a kicker because we didn't want it to end like this. We're doing everything we can not to go out like that.

I always knew that I wanted to play professionally. It was always a dream and it came true today.

He has punched me. He has hit me. He has kicked me. He has bit me. You name it, he's done it. But I don't get mad. You just have to know that at that point in time, he's not in control of his body.

We've faced a lot of teams with talented posts who are much bigger than us, and we've been successful by playing fundamentally sound defense.

I think that if this business plan continues as is, they will not be good neighbors to each other.

It is a pretty unbelievable feeling. I was just sitting there, almost not expecting to hear my name called. But when they did call my name, it was just an amazing feeling. I like to win, and I'm going to a team that wins. That's nice.

It disrupts everything. Work, babysitters, (we're) just tired of it.

We came together as a team and said we can do this. We've been in this presentation before. We were down by 17 to Iowa State last year. We talked to each other and said we had to believe.

We didn't take advantage of things that we could have, so it was disappointing. We didn't penetrate at all, and we didn't break them down as much. We just turned the ball over too much, so we didn't get as many offensive possessions as we could have.

Tonight everybody stepped up. We were burying the ball in the hoop and playing defense.

There was a huge plume of smoke that was seen as far as Cody and Powell. We all got our cameras out and took pictures. ... Someone said it could have been as high as 6,000 feet.

I've been in the gym a lot trying to fix my shot and changing some things. I've been working on it hard.

It would mean a lot to win it. The last two years, we've kind of had to watch the celebration, then nervously and anxiously await the tournament selection show. It would be great to turn things around this year and know, especially now that we have to wait until Monday, that you're going to go to the tournament.

This is a small district. If they're looking for that kind of money, those kind of benefits, they should be in a bigger district. They're welcomed to leave. They're welcomed to work some place else that can pay them what they want. We can't, it's that simple!

A lot of businesses are going to be hurt by this. Some will weather through, some won't.

They're a very athletic team from the film that we've watched. They are able to push it and they're able to pressure defensively. They're a very good team.

They're a very strong team. Right now we're in a four-way tie with them for fourth place (in the MWC), so we have to start picking up the wins.

It's an honor. It's really a testament to my teammates and coaches.

It makes a huge difference (being on the road); it's not as comfortable in another environment. It's more comfortable at home when you know the rims and the crowd. It's something that we have to learn how to do.

It's really exciting to get to the Sweet 16, but we don't see any reason to stop now. We believe as long as we work hard as a team, we can keep winning.

It's pretty exciting to be going to The Pit where people might be cheering for us, as opposed to booing for us. It will be a nice change.

It's pretty amazing. The way we look at it we have absolutely nothing to lose. We're sitting here and we have a chance, which is pretty cool.

It's such an honor to be a part of something so huge. It was really intimidating but all the actors made me feel so comfortable.

It seemed like it took forever, especially that last 20 seconds. They got a couple of shots. But you know, they missed and we were fortunate to get the rebounds.

It wasn't a very good system because it was bad on the litigants.

I'm really proud of the way we played. We lost today but it was still a successful season.

If the people want this and we elected our school board, sooner or later they're going to have to listen to us.

I have to sneak in food too. Yesterday I was in line when the bell rang.

I came from a smaller town and I just kept setting small goals and achieving them. Anybody can make it. You just have to work hard and I think I showed that.

I don't where my shot went but I'm confident it will be back for the next game.

I do believe Duluth is making a comeback. We want to be part of this economic upturn.

I do believe Duluth is making a comeback, ... We want to be part of this economic upturn.

Her ability to drive into the lane and hit an open teammate is awesome. Her assists per game are unbelievable. Some of the passes she comes up with-you can see some of our teammates are shocked that she could even find her. She takes them off-guard.

A good edit process turns rocks into diamonds, and every author should love that part as much as the creative phase. I do love it. It's a different side to writing. It's like the fine-tuning.

There are days when I don't want to go to the gym or find myself not super motivated upon arriving. I would visualize myself playing at the Olympics.

The best part of being a pro is being able to travel around the world. I have met so many incredible people and experienced different cultures all through sport.

I do love wearing heels but my feet can't be in them all day long. I want to have fun and dance so I need to be comfortable.

Everyone on my team is different in terms of how long before a workout they prefer to eat. I like to eat my big meal 4.5-5 hours before I play. I usually eat a carb either rice or pasta with tofu or chicken. Around 2 hours before I play to like to eat greek yogurt with a banana.

I think I have always wanted to tell stories. My mother was the real catalyst. I kept talking about it and so she pulled out a story I wrote (and illustrated) back in elementary school. She used that as proof that I should be writing and had been doing so unconsciously for years.

For me, setting and description is a challenge. I always want to get that part just right, and sometimes the words won't work.

Setting can be something that is a major player in a scene, something that makes the mood leap from the page. But if an author doesn't handle it right, it falls flat or seems overdone. It is a challenge getting it "just right".

Dialogue saves me. I love writing the conversations between my paper people. For some reason, that is the easiest thing for me. It's like I am a transcriptionist for the voices in my head. I can hear them talking (mentally) and have a gift for getting it on the page.

My experiences always influence my writing, but usually only on an emotional level. I have experienced death of a family member and it's easy to dredge up those feelings and get them on the page.

The editing process is a necessary evil. I can write until the cows come home but it is all garbage until it gets edited.

I think in most sports sometimes you need a little luck for the ball or calls to roll your way.
