en I think we have to figure out ways to stop people first. I always figure if you can guard people you don't have to score as much. I was hopeful we would value the ball a little better. My thing is, who is going to grind it out, defend and have a chance to guard people, and then we'll move on.

en It's not like a challenge to the Stones, but more of a revision, ... Tim was playing this riff and he needed it to feel sleazy and dark, and I was trying to figure out what it was about. I remembered the time Tim and I first made a concerted effort to write songs together five or six years ago when we took a week off and drove to New Hampshire. I remember on this 18-hour car ride, being way over-caffeinated and buzzing, I realized that I was trying to figure out if you would know if you were the devil. I got Tim to quit his job for a week and go to this cabin, which seemed like the sort of thing the devil would do.

en He was always prepared to take an unpopular position within the Cabinet. He did not think his role was to find a way to say yes. The most important thing when you are a lawyer, you have got to understand it's not your job to figure out a way to make something that isn't going to fly, fly. That was never John Ashcroft.

en It's ridiculous. It's not like last year when I had to compensate for my hip and my shoulder. Now I feel great, and now everything isn't the same. The ball is moving the way I want it to, but something mechanically is throwing me off. I need to figure that one thing out. I've got two days to do it. Then again, I may get out there Tuesday night and it may just fall into place because it's a totally different ballgame.

en I've always been the biggest guy out there. A lot of (lacrosse) coaches say I'm the biggest guy they ever recruited, and they figure if I lower my shoulder, maybe it'll be a little easier getting to the goal. But another thing they say is, 'We'd still be recruiting you if you were 5-10 because of the different assets to your game.' I thought that was a nice compliment.

en It's hard to figure out what motivates people and it seems like a lot of high school sports, if you can figure out that trigger of whatever gets you going, once you get it going, you can't stop it.
