I don’t know about you, but I lie awake nights worrying about Canadian uranium. I know these people. I grew up there. You have no idea what they’re capable of doing. If Sidney Crosby hadn’t scored that goal to win the Olympic gold medal, there’s no telling what might have ensued.
Gray goes with gold. Gray goes with all colors. I’ve done gray-and-red paintings, and gray and orange go so well together. It takes a long time to make gray because gray has a little bit of color in it.
I’ve never done a big series like ‘Game of Thrones’ before. All I knew was that it was HBO, and I’d seen what they had done with ‘The Sopranos’ and ‘The Wire.’ But when I started reading the script, it was a no-brainer. Yes, yes, yes. Gold. Every time I turned the page.
I usually wear a lot of really thin gold bands and small studs. Nothing too big.

After I got my gold medal, I thought, ‘This isn’t just me. It belongs to my team, my friends, my family, the fans, everybody who’s impacted my life – this is our gold medal.’ So when someone asks to try it on, I’m like, ‘Sure, why not?’ I might be a little too relaxed about it, but why would I keep it to myself?

I don’t even look at gold as gold anymore. Gold is just another piece of paper.
Most coaches would consider leading a team to an Olympic gold medal a capper for a pretty good year. The same goes for winning an NCAA national championship. Or a FIBA world championship.

I can easily get a gold in the 48 kg. category, but 51 kg., it’s difficult because other boxers may have a height advantage.
The world’s central banks and the International Monetary Fund still have vaults full of bullion, even though currencies are no longer backed by gold. Governments hold on to it as a kind of magic symbol, a way of reassuring people that their money is real.

I used to want to look like every European person that was being held up as a standard of beauty, whether in the industry or in life. Then I just realized that it’s not in my genetic make-up. I decided instead to go for the gold in whatever I’m doing and just be as healthy as I can be.

There’s no real network, and every city in Mississippi is so spread out, so it isn’t easy to drive around and pass out CDs. So when an artist from Natchez or Gold Coast or Meridian breaks out, they already know exactly what kind of artist they want to be. The grind and the hustle is just so adamant.
I take a lot of pride in my first ’92 gold medal.
‘Beauty’ is a currency system like the gold standard. Like any economy, it is determined by politics, and in the modern age in the West is is the last, best belief system that keeps male dominance intact.
