  • I've never thought about any kind of prejudice about women in country music because I never felt like it affected me.

And it's not in big-time college sports. -- Charlie Pierce
  • Tap dancers find it very difficult to do anything other than tap if that is all they have been trained in because, again, it's a whole different ballgame that you're constantly working on - bent legs, loose ankles - which you cannot afford to do when you're doing jumps or anything else. -- Nigel Lythgoe
  • I'm so happy in the projects that I'm able to make, to be involved in projects like this. This isn't always where it was at for me, I started working when I was a kid. I'm just a different person now, I'm 30. I started working when I was 11 and it's a different ballgame. -- Jennifer Connelly
  • The overall thinking of the shortstop covers the overall context of the ballgame. You have to know the count they'll hit-and-run on.
