Most people identify with their own era. I tell young people we've done the same thing; it's just your turn now.

I was like a number of athletes. I was intoxicated by the whole aura and drama of sports and really didn't understand the implications of what education would mean in your life. I was a latecomer in terms of what I've been able to do.

People should not be under the illusion that the city is in a position to shoulder the financial burden of a new swimming center, ... We just don't have the money.

What you're protecting yourself against is, frequently, extortion. People will try to put it to their former in-laws in any way they can, and force someone into an unfair settlement.

It's helped me survive, and it's helped me help other people.
