Quotes of 1974

Quotes taken from the authors in 1974

As a kid, there are some things you looked forward to. You looked forward to Charlie Brown during Halloween and you looked forward to Monday Night Football.

The career isn't guaranteed for as long as you might want to play.

I expected to get drafted. I knew that I wouldn't get drafted on that first day due to the fact that not a lot of people had the opportunity to see me play much.

It's always great when a defense is able to create turnovers and score. That's something we missed last year. We'd get some turnovers, but we never scored points.

I was blessed with a strong arm and a weak mind.

Mr. Rickey, I'll put more people in the park than anybody since Babe Ruth

The good Lord was good to me. He gave me a strong body, a good right arm, and a weak mind.

Practice, work hard, and give it everything you have.

I can't tell you why there's a delay, but stick your head out of the window and you'll know why.

At the core, I try to write characters who are real people with real insecurities, fears, hopes, and dreams, which is why hopefully readers can identify with them.

Like many authors, I caught the writing bug during my teenage years. I don't remember the exact day or year, but I remember that reading S.E. Hinton's 'The Outsiders' sparked my interest in writing.

I am practical by nature, and I'd heard that being a writer or an artist is a good way to starve! So I was an economics major at Oklahoma State, and then received an M.S. from Cornell in Agricultural Resource and Managerial Economics. I knew if I wanted to write I would do it on my own, but I knew I wouldn't make myself study economics on my own.

Like so many aspiring writers who still have boxes of things they've written in their parents' houses, I filled notebooks with half-finished poems and stories and first paragraphs of novels that never got written.

Teenage girls read in packs. It's true today, and it was true when I was a teen growing up in a small town in northeast Oklahoma.

Obviously, I'm suffering from lack of sleep, but it truly is a blessing to be a mother.

No matter how painful something is, you have to take it. I saw that in both my parents.

You seek help from the elders. A society with elders is healthy. It's not always that way in the West.

I can run free here. I can go back to being a kid.

When you are no longer a boy, you have to be tough.

I played Baby New Year. When everybody started hollering and throwing confetti, I thought it was for me.
