The superior man understands what is right the inferior man understands what will sell.

All I watch is the Food Network. I took a cheesemaking class a few weeks ago and I told my family and friends to only get me kitchen stuff on my birthday. I'm into every kind of cookbook and anything by Anthony Bourdain. I'd love to own a restaurant if I could find the right chef.

There weren't any astronauts until I was about 10. Yuri Gagarin went into space right around my 10th birthday.

Since graduation I have measured time in 4-by-5-inch pieces of paper four days on the left and three on the right. Every social engagement interview reading flight doctor's appointment birthday and dry-cleaning reminder has been handwritten between metal loops.

Most of us can remember a time when a birthday - especially if it was one's own - brightened the world as if a second sun has risen.

I believe we need to attract a new generation of the best and brightest to public service and I believe that government can be a source of inspiration not degradation.

Right actions in the future are the best apologies for bad actions in the past.

We all have a social mask right? We put it on we go out put our best foot forward our best image. But behind that social mask is a personal truth what we really really believe about who we are and what we're capable of.

Go right straight down the road to do what is best and to do it frankly and without evasion.

I won't accept anything less than the best a player's capable of doing... and he has the right to expect the best that I can do for him and the team!
