A lot of the drive to make narratives came from having to play by myself as a 5- or 6-year-old in the woods. Matthew Tobin Anderson
I write for teens partially to work out whatever it was that I needed to from my own teenage years. Matthew Tobin Anderson
Teens are not like the weird, dumb dwarves you have around your house. They are actually you when you were younger. Matthew Tobin Anderson
I've always enjoyed that kind of thing - thinking about the production of narrative and why it is that when we read a novel, we don't notice the fact that someone who might be very close-mouthed or tight-lipped is perfectly willing to tell us a story in 600 or 700 pages. Matthew Tobin Anderson
The bedroom in my apartment is far too small to hold a nightstand. There is, however, this bookshelf. Yes, I stow whatever I'm reading on the lower shelf, but more importantly, it's where I keep a collection of ghost books. Matthew Tobin Anderson
As of right now, I have no desire. I've watched several games and played pickup ball thinking I'd have the feeling I'd like to get back, but I didn't have that feeling. I don't really miss the game. Antonio Davis
If you're going to trade me, trade me. Whenever they are going to do, let them do it so I can situated. Antonio Davis
I've been shooting the ball and running a little bit. It's just going out here now and forgetting that I've been out and try to get back in and make sure I know what's going on out there on the floor and that we're just not lost as a team. Antonio Davis
My parents and my grandfather on my mom's side would travel the earth. They went to Australia and China, and they went to probably every soccer game I ever played. Brandi Chastain
I think there are a lot of things that soccer does in the communities that transcend the soccer field. Brandi Chastain
And then ultimately what I tell the kids is: coaches can give you information, they can give you guidelines, and they can put you in a position. But the only person who can truly make you better is you. Brandi Chastain
So along with that is spending a lot of time with the ball. For me it was, I loved to juggle the ball in my front yard, and I always challenged myself - how many juggles can I get today? I think for players to get better, it's just about spending the time. Brandi Chastain
The thing I can say about Japan is they were progressive for a country that is very male dominant. Brandi Chastain
I consider skateboarding an art form, a lifestyle and a sport. 'Action sport' would be the least offensive categorization. \Tony Hawk
I love the fact that there is now a skate park in almost every city, but it will always have a rebellious/underground edge to it because it is based on individuality. Tony Hawk
I love snowboarding, but I would never want to do it competitively or at a professional level. Snowboarding is a spawn of skating, and skating is my passion. Tony Hawk
