Before Huey was 5 I could take him to work with me. Now though he has sports and lessons and friends and it's not fair to remove him from his whole life.

I enjoyed being involved in team sports and making close friendships.

I was a huge theater geek growing up and that was not the easiest thing in the world especially growing up in Chicago where sports are really the norm. I was always off to the theater at night from 7 years old on. Friends there in the Midwest who could talk to you about the idiosyncrasies of 'Pippin' were few and far between.

I told another ESPN friend here I love all sports. I can't think of any I don't love. I've even come to appreciate cricket. Maybe I could play a sportswriter. I don't know. Anything in the sports realm is appealing.

I come from a background of hanging out with friends and shooting videos with them with funny stuff coming out of the group. I guess we got the same charge jocks get out of sports.

Growing up sports was my outlet my way to portray a personality. I was very shy around people but through sports something I was good at I was able to make friends.

I don't really like politics that much. And I like the order and simplicity of sports. They have an ending. You can argue with your friends about it but in the end you still like sports. I almost love the fantasy world of sports more than the real world.

I've always been really active. I grew up playing sports so I'm always shooting hoops or throwing the football with my friends. I'm super-active in that sense.

I had no interest in sports so I didn't make friends in that traditional way where kids are in public school and they go and they join clubs and play sports. So I kind of had to find my own way to make friends and get attention and so I just was the class clown.

It sounds like a cliche but it... you do sing about what you know about. And I grew up in a small town and I grew up in a place where your whole world revolved around friends family school and church and sports.

The biggest lesson from Africa was that life's joys come mostly from relationships and friendships not from material things. I saw time and again how much fun Africans had with their families and friends and on the sports fields they laughed all the time.

The two most important things in life are good friends and a strong bullpen.

You're scrutinized all through your life - you're scrutinized by your family by yourself by society and your friends in a certain way shape or form.

I want to help middle-school girls stay interested in math and be good at it and see it as friendly and accessible and not this scary thing. Everyone else in society tells them it's not for them. It's for nerdy white guys with pocket protectors.

My friends and family especially my mom and dad are always saying I should smile more.

I like to smile. I smile even when I'm nervous since it calms me down and shows my friendliness.

One of the most important responsibilities in the Christian life is to care about others smile at them and be a friend to the friendless.

I try to greet my friends with a drink in my hand a warm smile on my face and great music in the background because that's what gets a dinner party off to a fun start.

Wear a smile and have friends wear a scowl and have wrinkles.

Modern science then so far from being an enemy of romance is seen on every hand to be its sympathetic and resourceful friend its swift and irresistible helper in its serious need and an indulgent minister to its lighter fancies.

For whatever reason I didn't succumb to the stereotype that science wasn't for girls. I got encouragement from my parents. I never ran into a teacher or a counselor who told me that science was for boys. A lot of my friends did.

We all remember where we were and we all remember what we were doing. I had a brother in New York an uncle lots of friends in New York. It made me angry it made me sad what could I do.

When I was leaving I kind of felt a little bit sad because I made some friends down in skid row.

It's not a struggle but sometimes when you're gone for a month or two you start to miss your friends. I love acting so much that it fills that gap of being sad about not being able to see my friends.
