“Failure comes when you don’t listen.”

The ones I am going to have to really work hard on early in the game to get what I want.

I could give 48 penalties in every match if I wanted to.

You are an international referee for a reason.

The objective of a referee is not to get mentioned. I tell a lot of young referees that not being mentioned is king.

The scrum and the tackle are the two really contentious areas of the game.

Coaches do so much research about a referee because they believe refereeing is such a crucial part of the game that the result may hinge on what we say or do.

It is a question of sometimes choosing what is – in your own mind – of material importance and what isn’t, what might be a crucial potential penalty and what might not be.

If things like that are going to ruffle your feathers, don’t bother doing the job.

It’s up to us to make sure we’re listening to improve our chances for success-if not this time, next time.

It is a question of how I marry them up to try to get the players around to my way of thinking.

If at first you don’t succeed, get a bigger hammer.

They probably know more about me than I know myself!

You can’t put something out there and assume it’s great.

I do my own analysis on the teams I am refereeing.

My job is to persuade people to toe the line and play within the laws of the game.

If you can achieve that, that then it has been a pretty good game.

I want people to come to the game to see what I will do next.

Everything I do is about setting up for the next. I think that my confidence and belief in myself as well as the music and trusting my judgment of my songs really grew the most.

Today, business is more like chess. Customer priorities change continually, and the signals given by these changes are vital clues to the next cycle of growth.

The interesting thing was that next I tried a film called Star Man, which Michael Douglas was producing.

Currently I’m working with Parker Fly on a new Midi guitar to arrive next year.

You have three teachers next to you every game, and if I’m not playing, I’m watching baseball.

The next step is figuring out how you’re going to do it.

I felt like I had kind of played it out, and I wanted to see what was next, and then came Mythbusters.
