VIN SCULLYA man really determines himself by what he does.
VIN SCULLYIt’s a great time of the year. If you can stand it.
VIN SCULLYIt’s a wonderful feeling being a bridge to the past and unite generations.
VIN SCULLYThat really is my trademark. Day to day, week in, week out. If something happens and the crowd roars, I shut up.

VIN SCULLYStatistics are used much like a drunk uses a lamppost: for support, not illumination.
VIN SCULLYI don’t like to be alone, but I do cherish the moments that I’m alone with a good book.
