I've performed in China, France, New Delhi, and Indianapolis, and everybody just allows themselves to go at it and have a good time. I think that's what I'm doing through music. It's not about 'I'm from here and you're from there.' It's about unity.

When I was prepping for my Broadway debut as Romeo, it really hit me that I had never done that. I had trained at drama school for three years in my late teens to early 20s, and I'd studied Shakespeare, of course, but I hadn't actually performed it. So to do something like Romeo for my first Broadway role was a challenge.

I go for a couple of parties; you won't find me at every film party and never at award ceremonies. I tried attending for the first three to four years, and I've performed at award shows.

We started learning a new dive on platform before this competition and Steve had a little bit of a mental lapse in that he performed the new dive instead of what we had entered him to perform and thus automatically received no points on that dive.

We started five seniors to show that any loss can be their last game. I think the guys performed well against Oconee. We didn't do much different, but I wanted them to know that any loss would be their last high school game.

We actually had a bit of traffic and I had to make a couple of passes just after the start-finish line heading into Turn 1.

We had a very tough schedule right out of the box. We haven't performed that well. Defensively, we have been very strong. We had a flash of offense in the Cooper City game. We took a beating against Everglades and lost to St. Thomas and as far as I am concerned we should have won two of the games.

The only game where we really haven't performed was the Motherwell match. In the second half particularly, Motherwell ran right over the top of us.

There are people out there who, when they took their desks, assumed they could remain in their position as long as they performed well in that position. That is no longer the case.

Obviously, we had planned to have Sergei as part of our hockey club. Things happen behind the scenes, and you have to make adjustments. It's unfortunate that Sergei got hurt. He did everything right from the beginning of training camp, performed at a high level. I can't say a bad word about him.
