“I was in the doldrums for a while after my athletics career ended in 1992. I spent six to eight hours a day training, for 18 years, and it took a long time to get over the regret that I wasn't competing in major championships any more. All I ever wanted to be was the best. But I find new projects and I keep things in perspective.” YearsLongWantedHoursCareersRegretPerspectiveSixProjectsMajorsLong TimeTrainingEightChampionshipCompetingGet OverAthleticsNew ProjectsDoldrums Author:Daley Thompson
“Patricia Smith is one of the best poets around and has been for a long time. Her Blood Dazzler is full of capacious soul and formal inventiveness: the compassion and artfulness necessary to capture the tragedies and Tragedy of Katrina. Smith is herself a storm of beautiful, frightening talent. Her words will wash you or wash you away. I consider this new book a major literary event.” LongHas BeensBookSoulBeautifulCompassionBloodTalentEventsPoetMajorsLong TimeTragedyStormCaptureFrighteningFormalNew BooksKatrinaInventivenessBest Poet Author:Terrance Hayes
“George Jones has been a major part of my personal and professional life for a long time. I have been inspired by his music for the last 50 years and for 42 of those, I had the pleasure of knowing him personally and professionally. He was IT to me. George was and will always be my guy. I am luckier than a lot of people on this Earth because God let me be a part of George's life and him a part of mine.

“I think ultimately what you really want is a few people within any label that are into the band enough to really work on it every day for a long time and to actually try a little bit. But obviously, the major labels have more money to spend, so if they feel like spending it, they have bigger resources there when you need them. It doesn't always necessarily translate into them doing a better job for a band, but I think especially if you're playing the game of commercial radio and making videos and stuff like that, that's sort of an expensive proposition.” PeopleIfsThinkingWantNeedsFeelsTryingLittlesLongEnoughJobsGamesStuffBitsBandMajorsLittle BitLong TimeResourcesBiggerRadioSpendingVideoLabelsExpensiveMore MoneyTranslatePropositionsBetter Jobs Author:Adam Schlesinger

“It just amazed me that so many people came to see my show even to a place that I've never been to. I was independent for a long time and I knew every person who I sold my CD to.

If people stop to think, "It's going to be potentially three years and 10 months for the new president to come in," that's a very long time and that can have major effects on somebody's psyche. But if you take this thing a day at a time, and break it down a little differently, and do what you can do today, it will make it easier for people to move forward, and it makes it easier for me to move forward.” PeopleIfsThinkingTryingYearsLittlesLongTodayMovingThreePresidentCan DoBreakEffectsMonthsEasierMajorsLong TimeMoving ForwardThree YearsLiving My Life Author:Marty Walsh
