When we can't determine what is art - when you get to that point where we're not sure, that's the greatest likelihood that we're actually experiencing something great.

What has become clear to many Americans is that the electoral system is bankrupt. As the political process becomes more privatized, outsourced, and overrun with money from corporations and billionaires, a wounded republic is on its death bed, gasping for life.

Steven Miller

What happens is they sell out to the union. The union took over in the '60s and '70s, and administrators are under political pressure. They don't serve the kids. They serve their political masters.

Ron Shapiro

What makes it different is that it's not only a legal issue but it's been made a political issue. That makes the athlete much more vulnerable. These guys will keep stirring the pot and stirring the pot.

Kelly Leonard

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.

David Snowden

We've always worked well within DoD guidelines and of course will continue to do so. We support the directive and all regulations that would protect military members from unscrupulous business practices.

We'd like to go out and play for the people that supported us and love the music as much as we have all these years. We want to celebrate what we did and the memory of our friend.

J. Horton

We're making history again. Never before have we supported so many state and federal missions.
