I was off-stage when she (Emily) did a Bonnie Raitt song (at the Bolton High Miss Wildcat pageant). I'd never met her before that night, but we talked afterwards and things just sort of worked out that she joined the band. She's got a great smooth voice, sort of like Norah Jones.

Jeff Bolling

It is important to record that the Minister made it clear that the brief we got was a position taken by government at that stage of the process and we would like to believe that as we progress with the process and further input is received by the authorities, the substance of the current position as briefed may be amended to take into account the additional inputs.

Audi had the courage to put such a young car into a race at an early stage. It paid off. I know how many people have been working very hard for this and I would like to thank all of them.

The original (production) was on a playground. I've seen it done as a junkyard and just a bare stage. I've seen it done with huge, elaborate sets. It's left a lot to the director's vision.

It's like having a persistent drought. At some point when you have drought conditions you have to institute water rationing, and that's what you potentially face in the military if it goes on long enough. You would get to a stage where you don't have enough people to staff your organizations.

I think the stage is set for a great meet next Friday.

Sarah Patterson

The next stage is tremendously exciting.

Steve Wynn

As she gears up to run for President, it's a broader stage, and these issues matter in a way that perhaps they don't when she's in the Senate. That's bad strategic analysis that is being passed around as common knowledge, and I think it's false thinking.

Jeff Soref

At this stage it looks like a two horse race between John Barrowman and Bonnie Langford but don't write off David Seaman, he has pulled off some great saves in the past.

I believe all that stuff is within reach. It's just going to be a matter of doing it when I'm on that stage in front of all those people.

Brad and I are both stage hogs; we like to be on stage a lot.

Colin Mochrie

They're ecstatic, delighted that I'm back on the stage, so to speak.

John Beckman

It would simply mean that there was another liberal candidate on stage.

Tim Murtaugh

It's really appropriate for our acting level and allows us to have a lot of fun on stage, too.

Francis Quarles

Sean Burke

My hunch is this is going to be the setting stage for things to come.

Chuck Philips

Brent Schneider

I would have liked to see it at least in a planning stage and what direction we were going.

Senga Allan

The Bible tells me that no greater love has a man than to lay down his life for his friends. John Kerry's fellow crewmates -- the men I am honored to share the stage with -- are living testimony to his leadership, his courage under fire, and his willingness to risk his life for his fellow Americans. There is no greater act of patriotism than that.

Max Cleland

Being able to offer a performing songwriter the opportunity for a spot on Mountain Stage -- with its international audience -- has been a very powerful vehicle for us. Mountain Stage has always been able celebrating the craft of the performing songwriter and that's what we're all about too.

Gar Ragland

Two little guys getting a chance to be on the big stage.

Ryan Bradley

I was with some members of my band and there was a girl on stage dancing to Beyoncé's single, 'Crazy in Love,'.

The other indexes are better than that, but the bottom line is that it was a struggling, rotational type of year. We were in the mature stage of a cyclical advance.

Phillip Roth

Since we do charge for our work, we do need the permit and licenses, but do it not so much for income but more out of a love of what we're doing. We really do enjoy our work. We're blessed and don't need the extra income, and we're at a stage in our lives where we don't have to do work if we don't want to.

Bob Sowders

I reached that stage in my life when I could see it as murder, mayhem and robbery. It was the same as any other criminal organization. It didn't end up being what I thought it would be.

Kevin Roach

We become real people not just dancers up on stage. When have an open showing in the studio it's a chance to be close to dancers . . . it breaks down the curtain.

Simone Orlando

In a lot of ways, it is a tribute to him that there are a lot of clubs that have been interested in him since we picked him up from the Yankees. But we have repeatedly said and acknowledged that we have received calls for him but they have not been past the initial inquiry stage.

John Daniels

It was just the actors, performing some in costumes, some in jeans, on a stage for 600 students. And the students responded and were very captivated, and enjoyed it and asked intelligent questions. Then, as the performance ended, the van arrived.

Brian Crowe

I understand Equity's position, ... but my heart goes out to the actors who were going to get to go to Ireland with the show. It's a group of fine actors who would have had a chance to be exposed to the international stage. I would have paid great money to see [Rea] do it, and I would have paid great money to see these actors do it with him.

Richard Mcmillan

We are in the proposal stage. We have a council subcommittee working through the details on the length of lease, profit-sharing and what goes into the lease along with prohibitive advertising.

Clyde Evans

But having said that…now we need people to take this from the concept stage to the time we're actually building hardware…and getting ready to launch these systems.

Rex Geveden

Our emphasis in practice right now is to simulate race speed as much as possible while incorporating adequate recovery in between sets. This is the stage of the season when attention to detail will separate the postseason swimmers from the rest of the field. At this point, our relays are still our best shot at making it out of district.

Tony Phillips

We hope to stage other events there that will add local interest and benefit Monmouth's economy. But are determined that the show will remain a traditional agricultural event, but one that looks forward and that interests the public from the moment they walk through the gate.

Steve Hart

Tommy gave me my first chance on stage. And I won't forget it.

Frankie Valli

This event has its challenges. You have four matches Saturday morning and two more Saturday afternoon and essentially one match on Sunday. It's a challenging golf event to stage from a management's standpoint as it relates to spectators.

Michael Garten

I can't comment at this stage, because it's too delicate.

Brian Breese

The thing about the Super 14 is that there are no easy games and any team can win at some stage, so we are not taking the Reds lightly.

Naka Drotske

We don't see any concerns at this stage. We've gone through a humongous amount of data on aspartame over the years.

George Pauli

At this stage we don't know the full extent of the injury. We all have our fingers crossed and were hoping for the best. Regardless of the result of the surgery, Matthew will not take to the field again in season 2005.

Peter Rohde

The idea is to have the stage strewn with music from all the major songwriters and to let the members of the audience just pick their favorites.

Hershey Felder

Admirable, at this stage.

Michael Blackwell

The citizens, for example, were not used to getting their permits this quickly, so they didn't bring their checkbooks with them to pay for the permits. We had to quickly create a stage to freeze the process until it was paid, but because it was an in-house process, we were able to put that in in a matter of minutes.

Mary White

This is a very small legal community. Do you really want to start pissing off more experienced lawyers at this early stage of your career?

William Korman

We felt we had a shot if we didn't dig ourselves a big hole. We played with a lot of heart and enthusiasm. We struggled at the end of the season. We went back to basics and things have worked out. At this stage, there is no tomorrow.

Chad Belville

We've played in a lot of big games in a lot of big places. We've got seven seniors, and this could possibly be our last game, on the biggest stage in college basketball. We're going to go out and we're going to play as hard as possible. I really do believe we can get it done.

Jermaine Wallace

I liked representing my country on probably the biggest stage there is. Not even a world title in the pros can match that. It was just great being there and dealing with a lot of other aspects - media and all then other things going on.

Rock Allen

It takes on some special meaning. It's the national stage. One of those surreal things. Our guys, man, I've got to give them credit. They were really composed. There was no doubt from the get-go that we belonged.

Brad Huse

That happens a lot. The tournament can be an important stage. But what you've done before, what you do afterwards, all those things need to come into play, too.

Bryan Blake

It's a big stage Sunday on CBS. I'm ready for it. We've struggled with Kentucky since I've been here. We're going to try and change that.

Ronnie Brewer

They have not pulled on a shirt for the first team or played in front of the Derby supporters but if I need to call on them at some stage this season, I will.

Phil Brown

It feels great to be back among my teammates. At this moment we are all geared up to playing our best soccer and helping the UAE qualify to the next stage of the Asian Cup qualifiers.

Faisal Khalil

We had some discussions but there is really nothing new to report at this stage. We'll see what happens next.

Ralph Cindrich

Japan is still at a very nascent stage of recovery from the long market slump and that recovery will continue into 2006. A market gain in Japan may also have some positive ripple effects on neighboring Asian markets.

Isaho Nakasho

All of these dancers are dancers who are on the verge of their careers, so to speak. They're here to hone their artistry and make the transition from the classroom to the stage.

Alvin Ailey

We really don't know at this stage how serious the injury is, but I doubt he will be available for the tour of Sri Lanka next month.

Saleem Altaf

We didn't want to double the price even though it's double the headliners. I think the lowest price is about $28, but the highest is only $40. We also wanted the fans to get up close to the stage, and in most cases, we have a GA (general admission) floor.

Trey Many

In a career spanning six decades, Karl Malden has superbly achieved the goal of every actor, to bring an extraordinarily rich range of iconic characters to the screen and stage.

Melissa Gilbert

We are at a nice stage in talks with Takuma. I'd like to see him racing with a good team. Our goal is to build a team he will want to drive for.

Aguri Suzuki

Last year, I had the yellow jersey on Bastille Day, now I have won this stage, it's great.

Richard Virenque

AT&T is simply pointing out the challenges related to an ever-evolving Internet with proliferating applications that require significant network bandwidth. At this stage, we are exploring different product models, but feel strongly that this is an issue that has to be solved in the marketplace.

Michael Balmoris

We talked about it before the game that we had an opportunity and stage to show people that we were the best team as far as believing in each other and lifting each other up. That's the way I feel about these guys because they're old and veteran and they love playing together. That's what this game was about.

Randy Tribble

I think anything is a realistic option at this stage, We can't rule anything out in the future.

Chris Pronger

At this stage we look at potential and we see that flood potential is near normal. We don't want to make a speculation about drought, but it is something we need to watch very closely in the coming weeks and months.

Lynette Miller

Awake, my soul, and with the sun / Thy daily stage of duty run; / Shake off dull sloth, and joyful rise, / To pay thy morning sacrifice.

Thomas Ken

Bringing the Elgin Symphony Orchestra, fabulous guest vocalists and this super-sized chorus together to perform Beethoven's Ninth reflects the nature of this revolutionary piece -- it requires all 240 people on stage to do justice to the power and magnificence of Beethoven's final symphony.

Robert Hanson

I always thought she was one of those raw talents that when she would get a stage to be on would shine. ... I know without a doubt, softball's her life.

Rick Hohenthaner

We expected there would be field damage. There has been for the last two shows. But we have no regrets. We just have to adjust. I think the stage for the Stones was larger and had to be put down sooner.

Mike Dee

Fox Reality is the destination this March for 'American Idol' fans who can't get enough of this show and the contestants. Never before have viewers been allowed to see the intimate and emotional back stage reactions following a contestant being voted off. We are excited to be the ones to bring it to the fans.

David Lyle

I think we've moved beyond the 'flight to quality' stage. People are really looking at the inflation fundamentals.

John Ryding

...no man of genuinely superior intelligence has ever been an actor. Even supposing a young man of appreciable mental powers to be lured upon the stage, as philosophers are occasionally lured into bordellos, his mind would be inevitably and almost immediately destroyed by the gaudy nonsense issuing from his mouth every night.

H. L. Mencken

I would say at this stage we will certainly be seriously looking at continuing this case because we do not believe we have been given an adequate hearing.

Peter Oliver

I thought it was a beautiful show and I was impressed. Everything in the book that to me is important, or really moved me, is on the stage.

Rachel Tolkien

I'll be arriving at the last possible minute and walking on stage raging and pillaging and then disappearing immediately afterwards.

Bruce Dickinson

What we call personality or character is a highly complex product of a long integrative process, a process which may go wrong and may be largely undone at any stage.

William Mcdougall

I think he has been better than I could have hoped at this stage. Every time he gets on the ice, you continue to ponder what to do with him. We're not giving him anything. He's earned the chance to stay around and get into the preseason.

Don Maloney

What I actually said was we have a unique situation here. At that stage I, and my officers, thought the dead man was a suicide bomber. We are in the middle of the biggest counterterrorism operation — is it wise to bring another set of investigators into the middle of that?

Sir Ian Blair

For a long time, we've worked on detecting planets with whatever was at hand, making use of existing small telescopes or even amateur telescopes. It's time to move on to the next stage.

Andrew Gould

If you take a look at the history of voting in the IOC, five out of six of the front runners going into the last stage of selection have not been the winner coming out.

Bob Richardson

We're getting boards and picking up loose balls. We've been playing well of late. You always hope to be peaking at this stage of the season.

Paul Alioto

I wanted to just get back out and feel my way back to the stage in a low-key way.

Marc Cohn

There's a part of music that cannot be reduced to words on a page. Even the records are just rough drafts for what happens on stage.

Dave Marsh

We're checking waterways and hillsides for stability. The Willamette River isn't expected to reach flood stage here, so we think if we do see any problems, it would be on a localized level with area streams and creeks.

Mike Gotterba

We go the mall together, have birthday parties together. Because our families live so far away, we have an extended family within the group on and off the stage.

Leigh Cappillino

It is good to be in the jersey today, especially being from quite close to Sheffield. This was the stage I wanted to do well in. Earlier in the week I had a bit of a problem with a knee injury as I had crashed last week. I was in the break but had to drop back. So it was good today to be up the road.

Luca Paolini

It's like a fire. It goes through a journey, and each stage is interesting. I don't regret the passing of time. I try to live in the present, which should mean my life's full.

Francesca Annis

I have so much fun on stage that I should have to pay to get in.

Marty Robbins

This was probably the largest cast I've ever had on one stage. But once the choreography was worked out, all I had to do was show up and shoot it. My job was relatively easy.

Paul Hunter

We move where the market is moving. The growth in international is taking center stage for us, if not front stage.

Paul Marciano

At this stage we're confident that it's just some minor bone bruising.

Warren Mcdonald

The center of the stage is where I am.

Martha Graham

We are at a very critical stage in our negotiations.

John Broughton

[The second stage also offered performances by Brooklyn's The Brought Low, world-music fusionists Yerba Buena, who delivered the best set of the day, gypsy punk from Gogol Bordello, and Afro-beat from Antibalas.
