I admire the kid. Not for what he did, but how he's come back and he's worked and he's done things to improve himself. I look for a great year out of him.

When I was a kid, like 14 or 15, I played with the waiters from the hotel, 'cause that was the best game. And these guys, they'd let me play. And they were black guys.

When I was a kid, I never thought about anything. Never had to think about where I was going to school or what I was going to do. I just lived minute to minute.

We ran really well, ... We worked them really hard Monday, looking ahead, except for one kid who wasn't there, and it's pretty obvious who it was. She had her legs today, and that was a big part of it.

It's not a matchup between Izzy and Sheryl,

I admire him because when he started he came from very modest beginnings and has worked his way up. He has been a councilman, a mayor, an assemblyman, a congressman, and he went to the third highest position in the Democratic house.
