We use the word 'urban' to mean black or Latino, but that's not what the word means. It actually means 'from the city.' I'm not from the city. I'm from the suburbs of Connecticut. I grew up with mostly all white people.

I called my show 'Power' because, for me, the whole series is about the way my main character, Ghost, is power-less over his circumstances, even though he has almost endless access to money and guns.

Writers are, for the most part, crazy people. We're like Hephaestus of the forge. We're gnarled. We're curled over. We walk with a limp.

If you wanna be your own boss, you gotta work your way up - have the skills.

I always like to write myself into a corner. I think the best stuff comes from only having a few ways out.

Great partnerships thrive because the people need each other.

He's improving every game. He's getting tougher every game. He's a kid who's just turned 20 and he's getting better right before our eyes. Rudy is starting to understand there are some great gifts he has and he has gotten to showcase them as he has gotten better.

He's an incredibly gifted kid with great potential who probably needs to come back next year but can't, because he's going to be drafted in the top five, probably. He can't come back and pass on millions and millions of dollars. That's our system. I hate it, but I'm going to tell him if he's going to be in the top five, which I keep hearing, he needs to go.

He threw a couple of passes off guys' hands. But he also threw passes that no one has thrown all year. We expect that from him because he's such a great passer.

He threw a couple passes that went off people's hands, but he also threw some passes that we haven't had thrown all year. That's to be expected because he's a great passer.

I like the way they attack. I like (Will Brown) saying he expects to win. If he said anything else, I'd be disappointed. Someone said, isn't that bulletin board stuff? No, it's not. It's what a man does or a woman does when they're passionate about something. They truly believe they can do it. I like people who want to win. Obviously, they're coming off a great streak. We're not coming off exactly a disaster. We're 27-3.

I'm incredibly sad to have to face this group because I've told everybody how much I love them and how much I'm going to miss them. I miss them right now. I don't want them to leave. They are great kids.

It's a great opportunity for us and a great opportunity for Albany. I think coach (Will) Brown knows what a win can do and his kids know what a win can do. It's a great time of the year.

They didn't play scared. He wanted them to attack, intelligently, and they did a great job of that.

Denham had arguably the best performance of his career at a great time.

Sometimes the NCAA Tournament can overwhelm a team. Others come in and see the great opportunity and play with a sense of looseness, even better than what they had. ... George Mason was never scared off by the NCAA. As a matter of fact, they were inspired by the NCAA.

Craig is a very confident kid, without being arrogant. I thought he really looked like a point guard tonight, with a great deal of composure.

We went to see 'Glory Road' the other night and it was a great film.

You have a great team. You did a great job.

Thus far they've given me no great reason to worry as much as I do with other teams. Because they don't fool around in games.

We'll tire ourselves out where we need more people in the game. But anytime your eight goes against our eight, we think we have a great advantage.

I think he feels a great deal of pressure. He's a human highlight film, but he's a young player who is learning how to be good. This tournament could be an opportunity for him to break out a little bit. He kind of got worn down by the pressure of expectations.

I think he?s become a lot more mature about a lot of different things. I think his life, because of the situation that he was involved with, has matured him a great deal.

Marcus made a mistake, like every other student on this campus. I don't feel there's any question that Marcus has profited. Some people miss shots and continue to miss shots because they don't learn. Marcus has learned a great deal.
