I’m grateful to have the trust and support of the Kentucky Education Association.
As a young boy I won a few dollars in 1972 when Riva Ridge won the Kentucky Derby. I had overheard someone say he was going to win, and I guess that made an impression on me.
I was raised by a great single mother. I grew up in rural Kentucky, and she’s just a really compassionate woman.
I think I do regret leaving Kentucky because I took over a team with 15 wins banking everything on the Tim Duncan lottery, and once we didn’t get Tim Duncan, I realized that leaving Kentucky was not a good move.
I shall be well enough when I get to Kentucky or Alabama. The tonic I need is the tonic of opposition. That always sets me on my feet.
I’m a huge Kentucky fan. So when there was a chance to do the John Wall dance, I went into character.
In Washington, Senator Paul has put his own ambition ahead of Kentuckians and is behind policies that would hurt Kentucky families.
Playing at Kentucky, before 24,000 people, you have to learn how to grow real fast and play under pressure and playing on ESPN with millions of people watching. Right away, you learn how to play under control.
There’s so much to do in Paducah, Kentucky… Paducah’s pretty cool, man.
My father… removed from Kentucky to… Indiana, in my eighth year… It was a wild region, with many bears and other wild animals still in the woods. There I grew up… Of course when I came of age, I did not know much. Still somehow, I could read, write, and cipher… but that was all.
My job is to try to protect jobs in Kentucky now, not speculate about science in the future.
I grew up in Chicago, but I spent a lot of time down in Kentucky, and Kentucky was about 20 years behind the life that was in Chicago.
Kentucky is the best job in basketball coaching. Why would I leave?
Kentucky has always said you can’t really make bourbon outside of Kentucky because it’s a combination of the barrels and the limestone-fed springs that give us the water. That’s our story, and we’re sticking to it.
We’re fighting to lift up Kentucky workers by creating more good-paying jobs, lowering the cost of prescription drugs, expanding access to health care, and making public education a top priority.
I was in law school at the University of Kentucky and realized I didn’t really like law school, so I took a creative writing course for something different.

Some Kentucky fans are a little more subdued.
Like half of Kentucky, my family has pre-existing conditions.
The people of Kentucky have had enough. They have had enough of bailouts for Wall Street banks.
We got Jaylen Samuels who’s a tremendous receiver, a talented runner. We got Benny Snell. We know the work that he did at Kentucky. He’s a hard-bodied runner, so all those guys will get touches.
At a tiny station in New Albany, Indiana, which is right across from the river from Louisville, Kentucky, where I grew up. The Louisville stations were loath to hire beginners, so I had to go across the river.
I respect everybody who goes to Kentucky. You know that once you sign with Kentucky, the same thing with Duke. You know each and every night it’s going to be a team’s Super Bowl. You’re going to get their best.
I moved from Kentucky to Miramar, Florida, at about 8. I think I was in second grade. I still had my Southern accent, and down there, you got to experience a melting pot in full fury. All the kids I hung out with were, like, Sicilian kids from Jersey and New York.
Half-brights consider it comedy gold to congratulate anyone they dislike for ‘winning the Kentucky Derby!’ The only thing more bracingly original to not-smart people is: ‘Stay classy!’
Going to Kentucky… it’s not really a college experience. You go there for basketball. You get your studies together, but then after that, it’s all about basketball.

Growing up in Kentucky, I used to hang out with four running buddies as a kid – 6, 10, and 11 years old. Two of them would later come out, and so 50 percent of my friends as a kid were gay.
All winners are edgy. Guys that are pushing themselves are edgy. It’s the old saying we have in Kentucky: I’d rather have a guy I have to say whoa to, than giddyup.
It was the most incredible feeling you can have winning the Kentucky Derby. You’re not really mentally prepared for it. It’s the greatest race in America, with 150,000 people, Churchill Downs, the Twin Spires, it’s just magical.
We need a new generation of leaders who can put their country over their political party to do what’s right for Kentucky and are not bought off by special interests.
I got to see all of the west coast, which is so beautiful and so different from Kentucky. I also got to see a lot of the northeast during the snowy season. I had never experienced anything like that or temperatures like that. In 2017, I saw 47 states.
Deep in the heart of Kentucky’s rugged Eastern Mountain region, there lives a woman who has fascinated and inspired me for two decades. She is known locally these days as ‘Mayor Nan’ – the octogenarian chief executive of Hazard and advocate for its 5,467 residents.
Part of me would like for not all the Kentucky, Carolina, and Connecticut fans to despise me, but another part of me realizes that’s not important.

From the Mississippi Mudflap to the Kentucky Waterfall, to the Tennessee Top Hat and the North Carolina Neckwarmer, nothing says freedom like a mullet blowing unfettered in the wind and I can’t wait to restore it to its rightful place in the NASCAR garage.
I love being at Kentucky. I love the fan base. I love the community. I love the people there. So it’s like, why not stay until they make you leave?
There is definitely that thing here a little where people are like ‘Oh that Broadway girl has come to Nashville’ and I’m like ‘Listen you guys, I was singing country before I even got a Broadway show. And I’m from Kentucky.’
