With writing a song, I've always felt, right from the start, like I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel. I don't ever feel there's a font of ideas to fall back on.
I've always loved to prove people wrong. I want to be able to cross color lines, because in music, there really is no barrier.
The drummer in my first band was killed in Vietnam. He kind of signed up and joined the marines. Bart Hanes was his name. He was one of those guys that was jokin' all the time, always playin' the clown.
I was always causing trouble in school. Doing impressions of Bart Simpson, interrupting class - I liked the attention and entertaining people.
In all my years of baseball, I have always expected to be traded. I never liked the idea.
I always wanted to be a major-league baseball player.
Back when I first came up with the Twins as a second baseman, Billy worked with me on my fielding, on playing the game, on being heads-up, hustling, always doing my best, not alibiing. And when he was the Twins' manager, I enjoyed playing for him.
Defensively, hitting-wise, running the bases. There's always room to improve. That motivates me to get a little better every day.
I had a lot of ups and downs through my career at BYU, through different injuries and stuff. The fan bases have always been right there to pick me up and support me through all those injuries.
I didn't realize how much people liked to bash SNL until I was on. I've always just liked it, and I've always watched it and been into it.
America is always a good target for a populist. In many countries, particularly authoritarian systems, if you want to get an extra bonus, you bash the Americans.
The bashful are always aggressive at heart.
You always know. You have basic needs, and when they aren't met, your body sends signals. Hunger, loneliness, exhaustion, thirst, and fear are all signals that something is missing, and you need to act on it now.
I have always focused on basic research, motivated by a desire to understand the world.
We can choose a future where we export more products and outsource fewer jobs. After a decade that was defined by what we bought and borrowed, we're getting back to basics, and doing what America has always done best: We're making things again.
I always thought the objective of basketball was to get the maximum amount of movement to get the easiest shot, closest to the basket. With the three-point rule, the whole strategy changes, and you make a move and then throw it 30 feet out, where somebody takes a standing jump shot.
I've always been a fella who put most of my eggs in one basket and then take a dump in the basket but I really don't know.
It's not always about getting better on the basketball court. This game teaches you how to become a better person as well. It pushes you into the team concept.
I always speak my mind. Whether it be something that's going on in the world, something on the basketball court, or just something I saw with somebody else that's not right.
I like the uniqueness and creativity you can have on a basketball court; there's always a different way to score. Obviously, you have teammates, so it's easier to draw up plays, and tennis, you have your patterns and where you should hit based on percentage.
