en Oscar nominations are really important for a picture of quality, for a film that is not thought of as mainstream. We try to stay true to who we are, I'd like to think it basically says that slow and steady can win the race -- these Academy Award nominations validate that theory.

en I can't invent stuff, but the techniques fiction writers use to create character and suspense can also be used when writing non-fiction.

en I am conscious of trying to stretch the boundaries of non-fiction writing. It's always surprised me how little attention many non-fiction writers pay to the formal aspects of their work.

en It is difficult every year to select one winner in each category because there are so many people who give so much of their time and energy to the well-being of the community. With close to 80 nominations this year and all of them extremely deserving of the award, it was exceptionally difficult for the committee.

en Science fiction writers, I am sorry to say, really do not know anything. We can't talk about science, because our knowledge of it is limited and unofficial, and usually our fiction is dreadful.

en This is an important milestone for the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Foundation. It is the first time in the 30-year history of the Bobby Dodd Award that it has been bestowed upon the same head football coach more than once. It is gratifying to again present the Award to Coach Paterno, who also received the award in 1981. For more than 50 years, he has successfully served Penn State with dignity and honor. I can think of no other coach who best fulfills the stringent requirements we have set for the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Award.

en The movie got great reviews, then it got six nominations. That drove DVD sales through the roof, and it landed the big award (best actor for Foxx). That was really the perfect storm for Ray .
