Debbie FordThe writing process, the way I go about it is I do whatever the beat feels like, whatever the beat is telling me to do.

And every team is different at this point.
Larry DavisWithout you hearing a melody or music or anything like that, it would say something to you. So, that's what a song is to me.

Jim ThomeWhen Heraclitus said that everything passes steadily along, he was not inciting us to make the best of the moment, an idea unseemly to his placid mind, but to pay attention to the pace of things.

And they feel they have license to beat that gay kid up in a way that I don't think they did when I was in school. I think it's gotten worse.
