790 The Zone in Atlanta interview

Interview0 Comments

Kryzyzewski talks about how complete Duke is this season:

I think it’s more than fair. Whether we win the National Title or not, I think we’re competitive. It’s such a hard thing to win. This team has a chance. It’s not a great team, but it’s a very good team. It can play defense and it’s really together as a group. It can score enough points and it can rebound. It doesn’t play all aspects of the game – it’s not a pressing team, we can’t force tempo and stuff like that. But it has a chance. It’s been awhile since we’ve not had a hole that someone can exploit.

Donahue talks about Cornell being seeded 12th for the 2010 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament:

In all honesty, I think the committee has an extremely difficult job, and it’s hard to judge if a team like Cornell is better than the 3rd team in the Big East, for instance. So I think our guys are a little motivated by that, but I think I’m a little more educated about what happens in those meetings, so I don’t feel that way.

02-leonardo-dicaprio-esquire-0310-lgDiCaprio gives his thoughts on the fame he attained after starring in the movie Titanic:

It wasn’t the era of penetrating Internet paparazzi that we have now. But my name wasn’t me anymore. I was sort of this thing. Kate felt it, too. But a lot of the attention was on me because of the teenage girls who repeatedly went to see the movie. I had the blond hair, and I was Jack Dawson, this heroic figure. So I set up everything in my personal life to rebel against that image in order to strip it down. I had a lot of fun stripping it down. But ultimately, that knocked me a few rungs down the ladder.

Recalls early days

Interview0 Comments

In an interview with CMT, Shelton recalls his early days in Nashville, Tennessee and shares his thoughts about his past singles, Ol’ Red and Austin. 

Shelton on his first days in Nashville:

 When I first hit town, there wasn’t much going on in my daily routine. I had about a two-week job there working for Mae Boren Axton, painting her house. Axton, the mother of singer-songwriter Hoyt Axton, wrote Elvis Presley‘s Heartbreak Hotel. Eventually I got a job working at a publishing company, Balmur Music, which was a company that Anne Murray was a co-owner in, as a tape copy guy. Eventually I got fired from that job. You know, after being fired and not being able to keep a job through the years … there’s no telling how many jobs I went through — four or five. At that point, I had worked my way into the community enough that I started singing a lot of demos and eventually got hired as a staff writer at Sony Tree Publishing. But my days were a country song. I would wake up in the morning, hung over from the night before, especially at that age. I’d try to write a song and do it all over again that night.

Shelton on his earlier songs:

Ol’ Red is so unique, and it’s definitely stood the test of time. It’s not anywhere close to being one of my biggest radio hits.

Austin was one of those songs that nobody would give a chance because it didn’t come from well-known writers or well-known publishers. Luckily for me, I wasn’t a well-known artist at the time. So you just never know.

Cyrus appears on the cover of a March 2010 issue of Parade magazine. She talks about past relationships and her faith.

I don’t necessarily define my faith by going to church every Sunday. Because now when I go to church, I feel like it’s a show. There are always cameras outside. I am very spiritual in my own way. Let me make it clear, though—I am a Christian. Jesus is who saved me. He’s what keeps me full and whole. But everyone is entitled to what they believe and what keeps them full. Hopefully, I can influence people and help them follow the same path I am on, but it is not my job to tell people what they are doing wrong.

WWE.com interview

Otunga talks to WWE.com about his fiance, Jennifer Hudson and the mainstream attention their relationship receives.

Yeah, it seems like everything I do gets a lot of media coverage. That was just one little thing I said and it’s kind of crazy how people just jumped on it and ran with it. Actually, someone asked me the question, “Hey, what do you think about getting married in the ring?” And I told them “Yeah, that would be cool. I don’t think Jennifer would go for it, but it’d be cool.” Now it’s just blown up and evolved, and it’s all over the place.

Fox Sports Radio interview

Krzyzewski gives his thoughts about coaching in the NBA:

I love the pro game. I love the guys I have a chance to work with in the summer.We are getting ready for the World Championships this summer. We have a pool of about 30 players that we’ll choose from and those guys are great. If I was a younger guy and had some of the success I’ve had in the college game, there is a good chance I would go to the pros. The last time was with the Lakers – five or six years ago. I had created so much equity and it was too good to leave. But with the Lakers in LA, you know is a basketball town. And with Kobe and Mitch, they do a great job. I don’t go there and they get the best coach of all-time.

Curry speaks about becoming a point guard in the NBA:

If you watched highlights of my college career, my first two years, my freshman and sophomore years, all I did was come off screens and pretty much shoot.  I played the point guard for about three minutes per game.  Then last year, my junior year, that was something that I knew I had to work on if I was gonna make the transition to the NBA.  I played full time point guard, had to do a lot of scoring, but at certain points, you’re gonna see double teams and more aggressive defenses and you gotta be able to distribute the ball where is supposed to go to make the easy shot.

1070 the Fan in Indianapolis interview

Interview0 Comments

Stevens talks about Butler’s upcoming game against UTEP:

I think they’re a combination of a few teams.  They beat UAB twice so they obviously figured out something that we couldn’t figure out when we played them earlier this year.  They also play a little bit like Minnesota on the defensive end of the floor.  They’ll mix in some traps, they’ll mix in some presses, some run and jumps and those kinds of things.  They do a good job trying to keep you off balance in that regard and they have the athletes to do that.

Slater talks to WWE.com about NXT, Carlito and Christian (his mentor).

It’s thanks to him — he’s been so helpful. Christian has been around so long and done so much for the company, and he’s such a good mentor. He gives me such great advice — I’ve been applying it all and it’s been working so far.

zoeSaldana appears on the cover of Essence magazine to discuss sex and what she’s passionate about. On sex:

Love it, love it, love it-can’t live without it! I love sex. I love skin. I don’t believe the body is something to hide. I think in American society we’re messing up our kids by taking away the education on and awareness of our sexuality and replacing it with violence, guns and video games-and we’re breeding little criminals.

boyleBoyle appears on the cover of People after experiencing anxiety, loneliness, and exhaustion after winning  Britain’s Got Talent.

There was about 50 television stations outside my door. And it’s difficult . . . for someone who was really quiet to come to terms with that. I was like a scared child before, but I’m not the scared person I used to be.

People tell stories about themselves with their clothing, their hair, with the way they move and the way they present themselves,” she continued. “I learned that when I was young. I was always on the lookout for clues. And there are a lot of clues in how people dress

WWE.com interview

Interview0 Comments

Gabriel talks to WWE.com about NXT, his favorite wrestlers since childhood and African wrestling being different from American wrestling.

It’s very different. I think the USA is different from anywhere else in the world in fact. You know, South Africa is still a developing country, so we’re a bit behind in terms of the characters, but there’s still a huge variety of in-ring styles. There are so many big guys out there — I’m probably one of the smallest ever — but there are still quite a few high-flyers.

Mosley talks about his upcoming fight with Mayweather:

I want this fight because he was considered the best fighter out there. He came out of retirement and everybody considers him the best. You know I fought Margarito when he was the best and now I am fighting Mayweather because he’s the best and then Manny Pacquiao. We have to clean this division up and see who the real welterweight champion is – the welterweight king. Beating Floyd for me is different. I beat guys who can punch. I beat guys with good chin. I want to beat guys that’s the best pound-for-pound technician. That lets people know that I am well-versatile.

Elle Magazine interview

Forte gives interview to Elle about the biggest mistake he has ever made on a date.

Just after college I was really low on self-confidence. I’d gone on two dates with this friend-of-a-friend that had gone really well, but we still hadn’t kissed because I was thinking, Oh, maybe she doesn’t think of me like that. At the end of our third date, I walked her to the door of her apartment, and at the obvious time to kiss her I froze. As a joke I said, Why don’t you walk me downstairs? So she walked me outside, and there was another appropriate moment, but again I froze, and said, Okay, now I’ll walk you back upstairs. And I walked her back up to her door. And then: Okay, maybe I’ll walk you downstairs again. And she said, Ah, no, I think I’ll stay here. And she went inside. And her apartment door shut.

Mayweather comments on upcoming fight with Mosley:

I’ve been trying to fight Mosley since he was dominating at lightweight and I was dominating at junior lightweight.  For those that’s listening and don’t know what junior lightweight is that’s 130 and at that particular time Mosley was at 135.  He didn’t want to fight me back then, he moved on to other things and I moved on and kept dominating the sport.  I moved up in weight classes and he moved up in weight classes.
