So I keep singing my song.

When I was in the running for the role of Elphaba, I knew it was important to research and study as much background information as I could, so I got my head stuck into 'Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West' by Gregory Maguire, and I believe I lost many days, weeks, and months reading it - I was captivated!

When I was in high school in the early 1970s, we knew we were running out of oil; we knew that easy sources were being capped; we knew that diversifying would be much better; we knew that there were terrible dictators and horrible governments that we were enriching who hated us. We knew all that and we did really nothing.

Bernard Lagat

When it comes down to it, I wanted to win wearing this (USA) uniform. I was going to run to my best so that we could win. It wasn't like running against the Kenyans. Today, it would have been nice to beat my old countrymen. At some point, I felt that I let my teammates down.

Paul Gray

When it became obvious that they were one of the teams that we could be playing (in the regional) we made sure to scout a couple of their games. Jared Wood is a solid player.

We're midway through the season now and I think the girls are starting to progress. We've got a lot more work to do, but I think that we're going in the right direction.

When we were talking to them about the marketing, I said traditional theater marketing never works for us. We need college students, we need young people who wouldn't necessarily go to Denver Center. We get a lot of people at Second City who don't know they're coming to an Actors' Equity theater. A lot of marketing we're doing is promoting Red Scare without the Second City name or the Denver Center name.

Cedric Redmond

When we were going into the locker room at halftime, we heard some fans saying that we're going to fall apart in the second half. We wanted to make sure that didn't happen.

Mike Mastroianni

When we were down 11 at halftime, I wasn't happy; but I thought we still had a shot. We took them out of their rhythm in the second half and that was the difference.

Jermaine Spencer

When we went in the locker room, we said we weren't pushing. We weren't getting as hard after them as we should. In the second half, we brought the fight to them. Instead of backing down and letting them do what they want to do, we made them step up and play -- play defense and make tougher shots.

Katie Montgomery

We've barely had enough to go five-on-five, but we're ready to be aggressive and do whatever it takes to win. We've beaten tough teams this season. We know how to double-team and help each other out. We just have to be focused and work hard.

Bob Romeo

We've averaging 61 points per game, but the thing that makes me the proudest about this team is its defense. We've held teams to an average of 31 points per game. A lot of players get to play (as a result of big leads), and that means the kids on the bench are doing a good job defensively as well.

Steve Matlock

We've assembled a team of dedicated, energetic people whose experience and enthusiasm for this industry is unparalleled. With these talented leaders in place, La-Z-Boy is in for an exciting ride.

Jamie Dixon

We've always thought he was a very good player and always believed in him. He just happened to play on some very good teams behind some very good players. Last year, he developed and got better. He played in a lot of big games against a lot of good people.

Rick Spring

We've always set team goals. Making 100 points in a game isn't one of them, but if it happens it happens.

Jim Fleming

We've always let our guys like Miguel play toward the end, but not the whole season. They all want to play for their hometown teams down there. So we oblige within reason.

Josh Sims

We've always known that we can play with some of the best teams in the league and score.
