More than ever, on the 'Completely' album, we wanted to show more than one musical side of Diamond Rio.

Rich Miller

Nicole Miller

When I was on my honeymoon, I lost use of my right arm and right leg, and that's when we knew something was wrong. I was not totally paralyzed, but there was loss of sensation and feeling.

Glen Richardson

You don't know who to believe and who not to believe sometimes because everybody has their own agenda. There are two sides to every story.

We're maybe not so physically strong. It doesn't really matter in the Champions League but maybe in the Premiership we have suffered a little bit for it, but I think in Europe we look really sharp.

We remain hopeful that solutions acceptable to all sides will be found.

Paul Johnston

Mitch Kupchak

We're sorry to have to let Slava go even though it was unlikely that he would've been able to play the rest of the season because of his injury. He's been a positive addition to us for six years, including helping us win two championships. We thank him for his contributions and wish him well.

Donald Light

Unless prosecutors win the cooperation-through whatever means of the people below Buffett and Greenberg, it is unlikely that their reach will extend to them.
