You can streamline your focus so you don't meet people that you don't want to. It's a great benefit.

We always serve well. We play great defense. Our biggest weakness, and it's not a secret, is we just don't hit well, but we're scrappy.

It is something that I refer to as a little miracle. Boys' Town is a secret that we now want for people to know. For the people around that have nothing else to do, I really want to offer them hope. The hope that there is a future out there for them and I want them to understand that there are people out there that care for them. The thing is, they'll not care until they find out that we care.

Stephen Mcpherson
There's no secret about mine-to do another Genevieve with John, Ken and Kay!

Ken Caminiti
It's no secret that Maori issues are important to me. I can't hide that - I was the leader of a Maori party! People say that you have to be absolutely unbiased to hold a debate but I believe that's nonsense. I think everyone has a bias; it's how you handle that bias.
