Steve Alford

Every person has a different view of another person's image. That's all perception. The character of a man, the integrity, that's who you are.

It's all about persevering. You know you're going to be tested. If you keep your eyes fixed on Christ, He's going to reward you.

I've said all along it's a humbling experience being at UCLA. Extremely proud, extremely blessed to be at an institution with all this tradition.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.

The blessing that this film business has given me is that when I walk into a school I automatically have everyone's attention. They want to hear what the guy from 'Con Air' and 'Desperado' has to say.

After my swims this weekend I think coach realized, you know what, you have to have a good one getting out of this meet. So I put the suit on and had a decent swim.
