Obviously it's great to be on pole again, ... The way things go wrong in these sessions - they're so short - that you have to be absolutely flat out from the first lap.

I didn't qualify at the last race at Watkins Glen - my teammate Bob Stallings did - but that's two poles in two qualifying sessions for me, and that 's something we're pretty happy about.

Philip insisted it would be wrong for him to break down and be so emotional. But, of course, when we rolled camera, he proceeded to do exactly what he'd argued against. It's what makes his performance feel so real. When he entered a scene, he was no longer thinking like an actor. He was thinking like Truman Capote would think.

People want Washington to be noted as a place of integrity and quality and that's what Tyrone brings. We've been in court too much and in the headlines for the wrong reasons.

Naturally, when you lose a sectional game, that hurts, but as far as the season's concerned, our seniors did extremely well. It's an outstanding season. We got three of the four pieces of gold we've spoken about, plus we gave Penn their only loss at their place. Nineteen and four, nothing wrong with that.

I don't know what is wrong or what was wrong with Randy. We should have been able to get along without him. He's a great player. He's a big part of our offense, but we still should have been able to hold it down without him.

I don't know what is wrong with us. It takes us getting killed to get our guys actually moving. It will be a long season if we keep this attitude up.

I did some stupid things when I was younger, but I got a lot out of my system. Every time, my mom was waiting there with an 'I told you so.' Moms are usually right. You're wrong if you don't think that they've done what we're doing, because they have.

There are too many things going wrong for us to win this game.

When you ask most American parents why they want to have kids, it's to bring more joy into their lives. So, when you don't feel that all-encompassing joy, it must be that something is wrong with you. I think it's dissatisfaction that the expectation was different than the reality.

Most people feel that they can always tell when they're getting tired and will know when to pull off the road and rest. The reality is that it's just not true. All you have to do is nod off for a couple of seconds in the wrong situation and you could end up with a terrible catastrophe.

(Mayo) got done wrong in a whole lot of ways.

Most women have had the experience of being in a group of men, saying something absolutely profound, and getting no response at all, only to hear one of the men say the same thing a few minutes later and be immediately acknowledged as brilliant. The woman (who has been made invisible or nonexistent) starts to wonder what she did wrong, or what is wrong with her, and she says little or nothing from that point on (which may be the expected, hoped-for response).

She hasn't put her foot wrong in the last year or two, ... but there are multiple possibilities for cock-ups and gaffes and all those sorts of things.

Most software lets you set formatting so that it stays consistent, no matter how it's entered by the end user. The problem with Microsoft CRM was that there was no such formatting. If you made a mistake, if you put a dash in the wrong place or didn't put a bracket around the area code, you couldn't search for the phone number because it didn't recognize it. In version 3.0, they've fixed that so you can standardize formatting.

She (Perry) did have a nice free-throw shooting night. Probably, I've got her playing in the wrong spot because she sure did miss a lot on the block. Early on, we really did try to establish inside but it just didn't happen. But we did a nice job defensively, and that turned the game around.

She clearly did not know her action was wrong and that's unfortunate. We will try this again.
