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!

We're sad to have lost someone that's been very important to us here but are also delighted that he's been given an opportunity. We now have another big challenge in front of us to find two replacements for Billy (Johnstone) and Neil and that's going to be easier said than done.

Ellen Stofan

As a card-carrying space nerd and NASA's chief scientist, I love space movies, from 'Star Trek' to 'Star Wars' to my all-time favorite - 'The Dish', an Australian comedy that celebrates that first moment when Neil Armstrong stepped down onto the surface of our moon.

Edward Carey

Fairy tales, before they were sanitized, were very dark, and kids love that. 'Coraline' by Neil Gaiman feels like Beckett for kids. I think there's plenty of room for that. And I think there's a danger of being too patronizing to children, having things too sanitized.

My swim was sort of mediocre, but I think it was made up by a fantastic ride by Neil and an even better run by Simone, who has been unwell, and she has bounced back. We are very happy to have won two events in a row.

He will bring us a new dimension, and add competition to the squad which we need at the present time. Neil is a good young striker who is looking for a chance to prove himself again at this level. He is strong and skilful with an eye for goal.

Buzz Aldrin

Having Buzz there is a great achievement, he was on the first moon landing alongside Neil Armstrong, so getting his signature on a beautiful panoramic photograph will be an historical item to treasure.

David Attenborough

Very few people in the history of biology could have seen as much of the actual things that I have, and the sad thing is that I do so little with it. I'm so busy gobbling it up that I don't sort of digest it.

Antawn Jamison

We feel bad for Andray but the positive thing is that he is healthy and that his career isn't over before it took off. It's sad that something like this happened to him during his rookie season, but he will be all right. We will continue to pray for him, hope for a speedy recovery and hold down the fort until he gets back.
