My priority doesn't lie with the whole website and Facebook and such; I'm still walking down the road in a pair of real shoes. You need to just play as much as you can.

I am prepared to discuss the things that I believe we need to do not just to raise the debt limit. Raising the debt limit is the easiest thing. That's one vote away.

When you make that transition to being a head coach, there's so much more you have to think of and consider. You're constantly thinking, 'How does this impact our culture?

I've learned that fear limits you and your vision. It serves as blinders to what may be just a few steps down the road for you.

You know, my father used to look at people and he treated everyone with such respect, and he always believed that he would rather trust you face on and be disappointed perhaps down the road, be disappointed some of the time rather than never to trust someone, never to believe in someone, and alas, be disappointed all the time.
When one's greatest 'world stage' ambition is a non-voting seat on the U.N.

Football is only once a week. NASCAR is once a week. Those sports are insanely popular. Horse racing is oversaturated.

Let's face it: Churchill Downs only does well on Derby Week.
I think it's wonderful when a love story begins with a great deal of romance and affection, passion and excitement, that's how it should be.

I captured Tag Team, Intercontinental, Rookie Of The Year, King Of The Ring, everything but the heavyweight title.
