I’m always going to have a training center, always going to work with guys that are looking for some input and want help. I love commentating, and that’s something I can always go back to and enjoy doing.

When you transition, it’s a long process. Some people are so, like, ignorant about it. They’re like, ‘Oh she‘s a girl tomorrow.’ It’s not like that. You have to literally, you take all this medication. It’s really hard on your body.

Anytime you have a difficult encounter with your child, there is a good chance that at least one of these factors is bringing out the worst in him or her: transitions, time pressure, competition for your attention, conflicting objectives.

CEOs resign when the internal dynamics of the company and the external dynamics of the company actually come together to say it is appropriate. When the internal dynamics ask you whether you have a replacement. I think the transition from CEOships have also become cartoonish.

I think what people don’t realize is the transition from NXT to the main roster is a big jump. It’s getting a whole new audience familiar with a certain character. If you debut too many women at one time, it’s hard for the audience to get to know, understand, and see the rise of that character.

In a time of transition for journalism all around the world, it’s reassuring to know that some of the old ways endure.

Dirt has given me a really good car control ability, but it would have been an easier transition if I’d been racing pavement my whole life.

After I finish writing a chapter, I’ll print it out, cut it up into paragraphs, and cut away any transition sentences. Then I shuffle all the paragraphs and lay them out as they come. As I arrange and hold them next to each other, very quickly a natural structure for the chapter presents itself.

We are the transition from one education to the other.

The roles that men and women play are no longer the standard traditional roles of way back when but are those of two very individual people living their lives.
