We've always tried to have a good mix of stuff on our albums -- something that's fun, something that's very radio friendly, something that's going to touch someone's heart, maybe even something that's pop influenced.

Aleksey Igudesman

We've always dreamt of a TV series and working in film. When we first sat down to seriously write 'A Little Nightmare Music,' to write something for TV was our original inspiration.

Susan Dunn

We've asked the congregation a lot of different things during this period, getting opinions, because we want the whole body to be working toward the same goals.

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.

Paul Stamm

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.

Uniquely with methamphetamine, the drug isn't just used and sold in our neighborhoods and communities, it's made in our neighborhoods and communities.

Billy Hunter

We remain convinced that the NBA does not have the right to unilaterally create new ways to punish teams that want to improve by spending on player salaries. The effect of this decision is to continue to undermine player confidence in the NBA's administration of our collective bargaining agreement.

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.

Bobby Johnson

We're going to miss him in more ways than one. We will miss him as a player and our guys will miss him as a teammate more than anything else.
