Quotes by Brian Anderson


It helped out a lot. I didn't have to worry about going here and going there. I was able to focus on the team we were playing.

If you think about it, teams are going to be gunning for us every time we take the field. We're the defending champions, and we're going to be have to be ready to play every night.

In particular when the students aren't privy to the full story. I think both sides should cease and desist. I think it's a distraction in the classroom.

That's all I could think to do, and after I did that, it let go. And I wanted to get to shore as soon as I could. The thought crossed my mind that I might not make it back in and it was just pretty hectic.

At times it can be frustrating because everyone is doing so well. At the same time it's kind of motivating because you are with guys who have been doing it every day for 10 or 15 years. It can be a motivational tool for me.

It's really comprehensive. I wasn't familiar with early science fiction. It's cool to see the roots of sci-fi.
