WSCR in Chicago interview
McKillop discusses the advantages of his players staying all four years in college:
The reason the landscape of college athletics is so level right now is because programs at the mid-major level are keeping guys around for four years. That maturity, that experience, you put a team out on the court that has 21-, 22-, 23-year-old men on the court and they’re going against these hot-shot 18-year-olds. Invariably, there’s going to be the mental maturity that three, four, five years extra provides. That’s why Virginia Commonwealth, that’s why Butler, that’s why George Mason, that’s why we’ve done the things we’ve done the last six years.

I own my life. I get to do what I want when I want. I’m still very productive in my life and I’m still as successful in my life doing other stuff as I was in the wrestling business.

I mean, that’s provided me a great, wonderful living.

Being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame is a culmination of what you have achieved throughout your career and I didn’t realise what Hawk and I had achieved until I looked back on it there the night of the Hall of Fame.

The Art of Wrestling interview

I was going by Nic without a “K” at the end. I’d wear a shirt with no “K” but then the banner on the screen would read Nick with a “K”. It was an homage to Ric Flair. I’m a huge Flair fan so obviously, it was a bit of a tribute to him.

I mean, probably something that really overwhelmed me was probably when we played the Lakers in L.A. and we were playing against Kobe Bryant the first time. Sometimes I just caught myself watching because a year ago I was watching him go throughout the season and play on TV all the time. I was finally playing against the Lakers and Kobe Bryant. That was probably my ‘Welcome to the NBA’ moment.

On Miles College:
Historically black colleges are so wonderful at taking people who may come from those neighborhoods where even the salutatorian, the valedictorian the top ten wind up remedial math, remedial English remedial writing. and way before there was any ADD and ADDHD letters that applied to or dyslexia. our colleges worked with our kids and soon they picked up and they were able to work at the alledas white schools that would accept them.
On Whitney Houston:
I wasn’t surprised because of the gossip around her trying to get to sobriety. Fighting health problems related to sedation or whatever it is. Its been bloated and we all routed for her. And so when the news came out that at age 48 she passed, it wasn`t really a shock. It is a great obviously loss.
Tech Crunch interview
Conway talks with Arrington at the Tech Crunch office to talk about trends in the tech industry.
There’s two big trends that we see that are going to become billion dollar industries, one of them is real-time data which would be Twitter and what we call the real-time ecosystem, which is really any company that employs crowd-sourcing or collective wisdom to create this new corpus of real-time data on the web, which is the most valuable data on the web.
He says Foursquare and Quora are also examples of real-time data, and clarifies SV Angel isn’t invested in Quora. Growth in Facebook and Twitter alone is enough to confirm a second trend:
The other mega-trend is that the web is becoming more social…the phenomenon is that consumers are willing to share more about themselves…this phenomenon is growing to create huge commerce opportunities on the web
Conrad interview

Because it is very simple
He explains that part of the product’s success was because it avoided evolving, as MySpace did by becoming a music sharing site and Facebook did by becoming a photo-sharing platform.
Tech Crunch interview
Graham says Y Combinator is now focusing more on people than ideas, as a team of founders who have been friends for some time will keep what seems like a difficult idea alive in order to not let each other down:
At the stage we’re funding people, at the beginning, the founder is more important than the idea…We’re looking for people who have been friends for a while and worked together on things…Almost every startup has some point where it seems like the startup is doomed, the startup is worthless
Founders now have more power
Graham talks to Tech Crunch about how demographic shifts mean founders have more power:
That means basically investors have to do things the way the founders want
Asked if that is good for business:
Probably.
He adds it is more socially acceptable to start a startup, and costs less money, shifting more power to founders and away from investors.
WWE.com interview
Eve talks to WWE.com about Zack Ryder and her kissing John Cena.
I never intended for anything bad to happen to Zack. How this turned out is not how I intended. I acted in the moment—we all make mistakes. I can’t really say I’m sorry, but isn’t it better to be honest than to lead Zack on?
WWE.com interview

For the most part. My friends, my interests, my curiosities, my reading, the things I like to do. I have a great group of friends around the world who I like and I stay in touch with them okay – maybe not brilliantly, but adequately, probably. I can’t think of anybody who’s had a more charmed life, really.
