I grew up in ordsprog

en I grew up in a show business family, so we've always had a great sense of balance, being so close to my parents. I've always known what is and isn't reality.

I was moving about with my own gang, the skinheads, wearing steel-toed army boots and kicking in shop windows.

en It's probably growing up in a big family. There was really no one to complain to when my older brothers were kicking my butt. No, really, you've got to be that way. They're giving it their all. They're not trying to get you hit. I've come to understand that about this game: You're going to take shots and you have to bounce back, get up and go at it again.

en I remember watching him go against Al McGuire as a young kid in the little gym. I didn't really like him at the time because I was a Marquette fan.

Unfortunately as kids get older, they get out of the habit of wearing the helmets, and parents sometimes aren't as strict as they really need to be.

en I'm still about as pigeon-toed as you can get. But I learned to manage pretty well on a bike. Should have had a bicycle then, when I was a kid, but our family didn't have the money for such luxuries. I saved up to buy one myself a few years later.

en  Wilkinson acknowledges, ''but I mostly side-stepped them. Still, in any relationship, including marriage, issues arise when the balance changes drastically or great success is achieved suddenly.

en It had rained that week and they had to finish the Saturday round early Sunday and Ben wasn't wearing what I saw in the dream. But I'll be damned if he didn't change clothes between rounds. And he was wearing the shirt.

en These mid-day fights in broad daylight on State Street is a broad change from how gangs used to steel their difference, which tended to be more in back allies at night, in neighborhoods belonging to one gang or the other.
