This contest, I think, is really important because writing is the most difficult thing for people to do. The purpose of this contest is to have fun with writing to put the imagination on paper.

Even though the last date for receipt of applications for the Miss Tibet contest this year is June 30, we've already received five applications, which is encouraging.

I entered the contest to tell people about how I got inspired, and how I try to inspire other people. It's about finding strength and motivation to go for your goals and dreams.

We're like a lot of teams this year on the road, and hopefully we'll have a good performance. A lot of that comes from your defense. You can't get into a scoring contest on the road and expect to win very often. Most teams play better offensively at home.

We work on contesting every day for 20 minutes. My guys are mad at me, 'Why we got to do this?' Because it's a three-point shot, you got to contest it.

Defensively, we tried to clog the middle so their big guys couldn't get in there, and we did a fairly decent job of that. We just didn't get out and contest shots.

A trial is not a search for truth. It is a contest and, often, one that produces no winners.

It's a contest to see who can write the bawdiest limerick.

That contest was a real challenge. I don't really cook with convenience products.

I was kind of a frustrated cook. Being at home with the kids I wasn't working so I thought what if I enter a contest and win $50,000? Wouldn't that be cool. So I just tried it.
