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!

Dick Gephardt

You don't lock into a ten-year family budget. You take it a year at a time - maybe even six months at a time.

We think that same principle should apply to the national family we call America.

Kevin Jackson

We've always hoped that Page 2 would be a destination for people who wanted a good laugh and didn't take sports too seriously.

Richard Thomas

When we went to 12 games, everybody kind of went into panic mode because scheduling a game is not quite as easy as you might think. Usually, these games are scheduled five, six, seven years in advance.

Roger Hansen

When I was over there, I was quite surprised with how fast they adjusted because of their flexibility and their feet. I never saw a kid in pro ball with bad feet or bad hands. If you've got that, you can adjust from there.

Sam Taylor-Johnson

When I was out in Georgia doing photographs, I found myself trying to undo my own sense of composition. I'd think, 'Why do I want to take it like this? Is it because I want to take a beautiful picture?' It's quite hard to try and undo it.

When I was on the road with Billy Bragg, it was cool because I was doing the whole thing solo and travel a lot by myself, which I quite like. I mean, I love being with friends, but it's kind of nice having that alone time.

Usually a lawyer looks at the narrative portion of the registration. An accountant looks at the financial statements.

We're doing a much more thorough job of reviewing the customers than we had in the earlier days.

The people who draw up the plans should be able to execute the plans. Now we have one office taking in grant applications, reviewing emergency plans by state and local governments and determining where federal assistance should go, yet FEMA is tasked with managing the response and marshalling the assets.

Paul Anderson

The people who draw up the plans should be able to execute the plans, ...

We strongly disagree with the judge's ruling in this case, and we are in the process of reviewing a number of options.

Andy Williams

We appreciate this kind of input from Legal Services. We are closely reviewing the report now and we certainly would consider their recommendations as we move forward with the reforms.

Terry Lickona

We've always known there was a reason to keep all these original masters. We've never erased a single tape from any show we've ever done.

We're proud of these old shows and we think they deserve to be seen by new generations of fans and people that have been fans all along.

John Gibbons

You don't look at results in the minor leagues because I don't think I've ever seen a guy go down there and not get hit around.

We're making an effort here to contain the fire. We've seen it from a couple of different places but we don't know the extent of it. The teams are in the process now of trying to fight that fire and get it under control.

Julie Brough

We're stalled. When you see oil prices back up to their high, you've seen gold hovering around $600 US, people are making some really good money and I think there's a lot of people who are just taking the opportunity to crystallize some gains which is keeping the market at bay a little bit right now.

David Paulson

We're so impressed with the state we're using it as a model (for future disasters), ... It was something we've not seen in a long time. There was a unified system and the sharing of information.

We're going to take the time and snap some pictures from some angles we've haven't seen since the last orbiter was there.

Alain Vigneault

We're going to take that on a day-to-day basis, it depends on how the groin reacts. He's improved every day that I've seen him. (Tuesday) night was his best game so far. Obviously, he's got a ways to go but that's only going to come with time.

Marco Trbovich

We've always said there aren't too many steelworkers, there are too many steel companies. That's been our position for several years.

Henry Hyde

Heather Dougherty

We remain enthusiastic about the start of this holiday season, as several categories saw substantial revenue increases. The growth in 2004 holiday revenue suggests that consumers are shifting more dollars to the Internet this season.

Fred Hassan

We remain determined to become a high-performance competitor for the long term -- and over the past several quarters we have made steady progress toward that goal.

Steven Campanini

We're going to try it. So far it's gone well, but we should know (if he will survive) in several weeks.

We're going to ship them to a Nazarene church in Mobile, Alabama. There are several evacuees heading to Mobile, and we're providing some support when they get there.

Erik Autor

We're going to monitor this situation very carefully over the next several months. This is a case where what happens in Washington can have as much effect on cargo as what happens on the docks.

Terry Lickona

We've always known there was a reason to keep all these original masters. We've never erased a single tape from any show we've ever done. We've just about run out of space to store these tapes, but they've turned out be gems. We're proud of these old shows and we think they deserve to be seen by new generations of fans and people that have been fans all along.

Lisa Smith

We've always done trivia. It's tradition. And we also have football bingo, a food contest and plenty of Dollar Store prizes. It's kind of like another holiday for us.

W. Hull

When I was in the record store with Sean Avery helping him look for CDs, I pulled out Tapestry. He was like, Who is Carole King?Can you imagine?

Tom Yates

When I was in graduate school there was an article that said the purest monopoly anyone ever had was the general store, because people were limited to how far they could ride, ... There was one general store and Granddaddy Yates had it.

Matthew Fassler

We remain concerned with the company's longer-term positioning, given its choppy sales showing despite significant store-level investment, and its poor return on capital. The majority of its remodeled stores should have yielded their most significant same-store sales impact in 2002, and we see few tangible growth drivers ahead.

John Brady

We're going to the Final Four. That's where it all is. But when I was just talking with Glen walking down the hall, he agreed with me. For some reason, this doesn't seem like the end to me. Maybe there's something more in store for this team.

Chris Wiegand

We're going to get some weak numbers. The ISM report is going to be weak and that we're in store for a labor report that's weaker than what we've seen over the past four or five months.

Neil Stern

What they've done is buy themselves some time. The challenge is, how long does it last? If you're still losing sales, those stores that are profitable today won't be profitable tomorrow.

Steve Cox

When we fill this wall, we'll expand to other walls. We'll do the whole store if we have to.

Jen Kasel

We've basically been trying to clean up our game in general. Making better passes, playing smarter, hitting the slide on defense, talking, communicating. We've been doing a lot of seven-on-seven to get prepared to play such a talented team.

Bob Collins

We've asked all our section pros to put their program up on the Web site and I'm really, really excited the way they're starting to get involved. We're trying to create some awareness in the area and to get people to play. People always want to know, where do I go for a class? Where do I go if my kids want to learn? You can find it in there.

Isiah Thomas

We've always said this is a rebuilding phase that we're in, and we keep trying to acquire assets to help us in that process. In doing that, we also want to secure and help our present.

Joe Hudak

We've always played well here. We're a good club, and I think we're trying to show we can play with other good clubs. We're certainly not intimidated.

Juli Inkster

We've always got a good field here, and the course and the facilities are great. We've all enjoyed the experience here. I think it's great that they're trying to work it out to stay.

Jon King

When we were younger we were all trying to score points. But as musicians all we wanted to do was to make something that sounded great, and we became obsessive about it.

Gregg Brandon

When we were working through some of the issues, I was just trying to make a first down. But it's become a very good system.

Ken Macha

When we were trying to pick a fifth starter back in camp, it was between Saarloos and Etherton, and we weren't quite sure which way we were leaning. So we went to Kendall, and he was adamant about Saarloos. That's what clinched it.

Marty Schottenheimer

When I was playing, it was 10 or 12 plays that determined the outcome of a game. Now, because of the balance of talent in the league, it's come down to three or four plays a game. All you're looking for is to be in a position where you have a chance to win at the end. We haven't been able to do that, in a number of cases but we just keep chipping at it, trying to find a way to turn that corner.
