I always like to pretend two things: one, I'm sitting in the seat beside you watching the game together. I'll say, 'Wasn't that a great shot? Boy, it sure was.' The other thing I do is pretend I'm talking to people who are non-sighted. I try to create a word picture. I get more mail from blind people thanking me. ”

My work is a love for me; I'd do it for free, but don't tell my bosses. ”

You can't please everybody all the time, but you can please a majority. ”
