It seems Ed picks up fouls quicker than any guy I've ever had. And I don't know why. Ed is a very good basketball player and yet I don't think he ever gets recognized for that. He automatically gets tagged because he looks strong and muscular. Well, he's a very good player.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
The two guards are just absolutely playing terrific.. Whitney has really become a force in this league. They're the kind of team that feels good about itself and those kind of teams you cannot give an opening to.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
I'm going home feeling good because I think we're getting a little better. And I think we'll get a lot better.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
I'm not that impressed by my team very much, but we were very good tonight. I can't think of a game where we shared the ball so well and ran so well.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
I'll be honest with you that on Sunday all I'll look at is the bracket and see if it's a good bracket. But I'd rather go West. I think New York City is not good for us. There's too much family around. I like having control and not have other people thinking about the wrong thing.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
I do know the feeling of being a 15 or 16 because I was there myself. I know how exciting it is and I know all Albany wants is an opportunity to show how good they are.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
If he's not one of the best two or three kids in the country, then I guess I've lost my judgment about how good a guy can be.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
For the first time, I'm wondering if our kids are as good as they're supposed to be. I'm not sure of anything because I'm just stunned.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
For the first time, I'm wondering if a couple of our kids are as good as they're supposed to be. They were in Maui, and they aren't now. Marquette had a lot to do with that.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
You can?t predict this thing ... two, three, four all gone. How do you predict these things? The whole idea that No. 1 gets the easy route ... there are no easy routes. Those teams at 16 are really good, and they have incredible desire to win. By the time you get to 8-9, you?re facing really good teams.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
The college game is controlled by guards, has been and will be. You guys are going to try to name all the great big men who have carried their teams to Final Fours recently. You're not going to come up with any. You're going to come up with teams that are dominated by good inside play and terrific guard play. In the college game, guys that control the ball control the game.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
'Sag Harbor' was a very different book for me. It changed the way I thought about books that I wanted to do.
Quote by -Colson Whitehead
The Declaration of Independence is that sacred American text so full of meaning and purpose and yet quite empty if you examine it and pull it apart because the words 'All Men' exclude a vast number of citizens.
Quote by -Colson Whitehead
I use New York to talk about home, but the ideas in 'Colossus' could be transferred to other cities. The story about Central Park is really about the first day of spring in any park. The Coney Island chapter is really about beaches and summer and heat waves.
Quote by -Colson Whitehead
Having a wife and kids drove home the brutal reality of the slave system for me - the price it exacted on families. On the other hand, whenever I despair over our history, I am brought back to hope, the hope that things will get better, for my children.
Quote by -Colson Whitehead
Slavery was a violent, brutal, immoral system, and in accurately depicting how it worked, you have to include that, obviously. Or else you are lying.
Quote by -Colson Whitehead
If you're writing a detective novel or horror or sci-fi, you want to expand or reinvigorate the genre in your own little way.
Quote by -Colson Whitehead
I think a joke is a form of truth-telling. A good joke that's absurd contains elements of our daily darkness and also a possibility to escape that darkness. So, for me, humor is an attempt to capture everyday tragedy and everyday hopeful moments that we experience all of the time.
Quote by -Colson Whitehead
I take inspiration from books, movies, television, music - it all goes in the hopper. Depending on the project, I'm drawing from this or that piece of art that has stayed with me. Toni Morrison, George Romero, Sonic Youth - they are all in there.
Quote by -Colson Whitehead
You can raze the old buildings and erect magnificent corporate towers, hose down Port Authority, but you can't change people.
Quote by -Colson Whitehead
The contemporary casino is more than a gambling destination: it is a multifarious pleasure enclosure intended to satisfy every member of the family unit.
Quote by -Colson Whitehead
Other people have hang-ups about what's literary or genre or whatever, and that's sort of not my problem. You're supposed to write what you have to write, and you're supposed to keep moving.
Quote by -Colson Whitehead
For me, choosing between fiction and nonfiction is really only about picking the right tool for the job.
Quote by -Colson Whitehead
A lot of my writer friends live near me, and that makes people think we just hang around with one another in cafes, trading work and discussing 'Harper's' and what not. But I rarely see them. We're home working.
Quote by -Colson Whitehead
I am not sure the issue of race in America will ever be completely solved.
Quote by -Colson Whitehead
Monsters are a storytelling tool, like domestic realism and close third.
Quote by -Colson Whitehead
Stephen King in general, as well as films of the apocalypse from the '70s, had a big influence on 'Zone One.'
Quote by -Colson Whitehead
My mom's mother was from Virginia, but I don't feel much of a tie. I'm very much anti-South for many, many reasons. Whenever I go down there, people are always looking at me funny, you know.
Quote by -Colson Whitehead
I'm someone who just likes being in my cave and thinking up weird stuff.
Quote by -Colson Whitehead
Growing up devouring horror comics and novels, and being inspired to become a writer because of horror novels, movies, and comic books, I always knew I was going to write a horror novel.
Quote by -Colson Whitehead
I'm just trying to keep things rich for me creatively and for the readers who follow me.
Quote by -Colson Whitehead
Early on my career, I figured out that I just have to write the book I have to write at that moment. Whatever else is going on in the culture is just not that important. If you could get the culture to write your book, that would be great. But the culture can't write your book.
Quote by -Colson Whitehead
I live in Brooklyn. I moved here 14 years ago for the cheap rent. It was a little embarrassing because I was raised in Manhattan, and so I was a bit of a snob about the other boroughs.
Quote by -Colson Whitehead
I get invited to do panels with other Brooklyn writers to discuss what it's like to be a writer in Brooklyn. I expect it's like writing in Manhattan, but there aren't as many tourists walking very slowly in front of you when you step out for coffee. It's like writing in Paris, but there are fewer people speaking French.
Quote by -Colson Whitehead
I grew up reading the 'Village Voice' and wanting to be one of these multidisciplinary music writers, film writers, book writers. And I lucked out getting a job at the 'Voice' right after college.
Quote by -Colson Whitehead
I don't generally follow sports. At an early age, I discovered that nature had apportioned me only a small reserve of enthusiasm. Best to ration.
