I always thought the name of Utah’s major newspaper was some sort of weird misspelling of the word “desert.” But no, Deseret is the “land of the honeybee,” according to the Book of Mormon. I guess I should have figured they would have caught a typo in the masthead after 154 years.

I love living in Utah. I was born here but raised in L.A., but we decided about 13, 14 years ago to come here to Utah.

Yes, I direct commercials as well. I get these really weird offers and then I have to bid on them and win the job. One offer that I have now, and I've already done this last year for the same company, is for Cash Value Cheese, this cheese out in the midwest.

We were at 10,000 feet in Utah and I was running out of gas. I was in boots that were leather-soled. The bear was closing in. Now, he's supposed to be playing. Once I started to run, he got really excited. Pretty soon he was chasing me. And I said if this guy gets me, his idea of play is going to be the end of me. So I threw the rifle out and got on that tree so fast. Now, once it was done, I mean, I was sweating bullets. I said, not again. Not again.

We were available, but FEMA chose to send them to San Antonio or Utah or other far destinations,

With the NBA scheduling, a lot of times it puts the onus on teams traveling. You play Utah one night and a team like Phoenix is resting and waiting for you the next night. That's tough. So you run into some circumstances like that more, it seems, on the road than you do at home.

Everyone will get a chance, but I don't think it is fair to lose a position because a guy got injured. It will be competitive.

That is the type of competition we want at all positions.

With eight returning starters on both sides, we have a little more experience to take in a setting like that.

They told her she basically wouldn't end up doing anything for them and she might as well retire. She didn't win beam, but she beat everybody from Utah State, and she won bars.

The Utah State game was a great lesson for us. They always play with such great energy and passion. It is hard for us to play with any rhythm.

I love being here, and they provided that kind of ride for me.

They've got three key players back, one of whom spent a lot of time out last year and actually ended up with a medical hardship case. So, she'll only be listed as a freshman again. I think they'll be the team to beat along with Western Wyoming. Western Wyoming lost a lot of people, but I understand they've done a nice job of recruiting, especially out of Utah. They've had some real success with those Utah kids.

In Utah Valley, there tends to be this different culture than the rest of America. It's definitely a little more closed off because of the people that live here. 'West Side' gives people a more open look at the world, and can open eyes to other cultures and teach tolerance for other races.

In Utah we have to take a stand. We have to say we will not tolerate this type of hate in our state. Race issues are queer issues. Women's issues are queer issues. Every issue is a queer issue because it will affect one of us.
