This is indicative of a market that's really degenerated into a show-me situation. But if earnings turn out to be OK, then maybe the market can build on itself and stage a rally because it's certainly due for a bounce.

Rick Hutcheon

With all due respect to New Hampshire and Iowa, nowhere are you going to be on a national stage like Florida. You're going to get questions about Israel, Latin America, immigration. It's the old South, it's Latin, it's Midwestern, it's rural and urban.

Rep. Marco Rubio

We are disappointed that Sears has made a change in its approach at this late stage and won't be part of the beComing venture, ... We have always viewed retail as a long-term strategy for Avon. We are as committed as ever to our retail initiative.

Andrea Jung

I tried to put it out with water bottles. There were no fire extinguishers on the stage. The worst part was when the lights went out.

Jack Russell

Not in my wildest dreams did I think I would be on this stage.

David Friedman

I was ecstatic. I auditioned with the Martine part in mind; she's not a big character, but she's a blast. I get to do a Cockney accent, which I adore, and just play on stage.

Portia Carryer

We've always been friends before we were even in a band. It's a good-natured feeling, playing together on stage every night. To us, hanging out is playing a show. We can read each other and know each other's moods, and we know the direction we're headed. But we also know nothing is set in stone.

Chris Culos

From an early stage I had good reason to believe the lives of the two soldiers were at risk.

John Lorimer

I'm concerned that before we get to 6,500- 7,000 cubic feet per second (flood stage), we'll have more areas wet than normal.

Bill Clayton

A man who strains himself on the stage is bound, if he is any good, to strain all the people sitting in the stalls.

Boy George

The sponsors are going to go back to some of the more traditional aspects of the Miss America Pageant. There will be no casual wear competition, they will pick a top ten and then eliminate to the top five who will perform their talents on the air. The final question will be asked on stage of each of the finalists.

Kelly Keiser

Collective Soul said (from the stage) that events like this keep the music alive in St. Louis, ... St. Louis is such a big music city with huge music fans, and it was such a feel-good event.

Francis Slay

In fact, if it had been up to me I would have had them take a black screen and drop in front of me on stage and just let the people hear the music.

David Allan Coe

In the Bob Hope Golf Classic, the participation of President Gerald Ford was more than enough to remind you that the nuclear button was at one stage at the disposal of a man who might have either pressed it by mistake or else pressed it deliberately in order to obtain room service.

Clive James

At such an early stage to have the fastest lap in Bahrain and now have both cars on the second row for the second grand prix in Malaysia with so many new partnerships is great for the team.

Sam Michael

We're definitely in a land grab stage.

John Sculley

[Simpson is joining former Prodigy crony Russ Pillar at CBS Internet Group, where she will become the COO.] I'm excited to be joining the CBS Internet Group at this important stage of its development, ... All the elements necessary for tremendous success are in place. I'm confident that, working together, we will achieve great things.

Lisa Simpson

I like to explore the full gamut of possibilities ... as many possibilities as possible. With David's saxophone in the mix we have a full palette to work from. With the four of us together on stage, watch out.

Pat Metheny

North Allegheny knows how to win. They have this aura about themselves that has been created by their past success. We haven't reached that stage yet. We don't have that mental edge yet. We've got to get mentally tougher.

Jeff Beavers

To be part of this kind of stage in front of this many people, it means a lot.

Donovan Wells

The unity issue is obviously going to take centre stage and the party leadership is ready to roll out the unity issue to inform members about what has been done so far to bring unity with the BDP ranks.

Comma Serema

Merely an internal document at this stage. Monti hasn't taken a decision and he has no position on it.

Amelia Torres

It was a moment on the national stage for Pataki. And he can say that when an out-of-control, liberal union tried to shut down New York, he took a firm line.

Nelson Warfield

I don't get boy bands today. They don't write their own songs, and everything is choreographed from their dance moves on stage to how they have sex with each other after the show.

Blink 182

We're very willing to look into it, but we're still at a very preliminary stage.

Sara Evans

What can we do? Loeb just keeps taking every stage from us and no-one can keep up.

Petter Solberg

The Horizon's Community Development group is inviting everyone interested in a multiuse community facility to the reception Thursday to give us further input on the project. Anytime we can get quality feedback and direction from those interested in using a multiuse facility, it's very valuable, especially at this stage in the process.

Ben Larson

Saigon was an addicted city, and we were the drug: the corruption of children, the mutilation of young men, the prostitution of women, the humiliation of the old, the division of the family, the division of the country-it had all been done in our name... The French city... had represented the opium stage of the addiction. With the Americans had begun the heroin phase.

James Fenton

That really, really got her down and she became more ill after that. There was anxiety and pressure because of the stress of it all. She was at [the] stage where if she saw a police car she'd start to physically shake. She even planned her own suicide.

Iain Mckie

I saw Santa Claus here on stage when I was 6 years old, ... There's that history.

John Price

I don't prefer much of film over stage. The only thing I prefer is the paycheck.

Marisa Tomei

Yeah, you lose equipment, You lose the stage. You lose everything else. But the fact of the matter is everyone got out OK. That's all we cared about. Everything else can be replaced.

Chad Michael Murray

We are providing a stage where everyone can participate and everyone can be seen. We see ourselves as a combination of America's Funniest Home Videos and Entertainment Tonight.

Chad Hurley

It's really wild. People will be shooting off balloons, someone will try to knock a cigarette out of someone's mouth with a whip, and there are sock puppets. And it really brings back hysterical memories for anyone from the '60s era. And kids will think its funny because of all the antics and goofiness on stage.

Lori Knickerbocker

Let us make a pledge now to help Fiji through this very important next stage of its journey. We can do this by promising to be patient, calm and tolerant and by respecting the views of others, even if we disagree with them.

Josefa Iloilo

We played there so many times. We've played on a stage against all four walls of that room.

John Dady

Did we expect him to be on our No. 1 power-play unit at this stage of the season? Maybe, but only as an interim thing or if we needed a spark or whatever. Certainly he's secured himself as an offensive player on our team.

Tom Renney

It is not responsible at this stage to even consider the cloning of humans.

Rudolf Jaenisch

That's what Ireland needs now, early-stage investment. We have a lot of large companies that are not going to raise funds but are growing to exit [either through flotation or trade sale] in the next 12-24 months. But there's not a lot of companies looking to raise 10-20 million to go to the next stage.

Ulric Kenny

He won the two biggest tournaments and on the biggest stage performed the best. That was the best he's ever wrestled. He did not make one mistake the entire match.

Brian Degaetano

The music, the dress, the color, the stage settings ? there's nothing in the world like it. The whole of Massachusetts should rush here, honestly.

Henry Lewis

I am extremely pleased with our performance this past quarter and our strong market position at this early stage of the console cycle.

Larry Probst

The situation is serious enough at this stage, especially when taking into account the number of security incidents in the past days.

Claire Bourgeois

I had to set a goal for the conference and my goal was to meet people and become friends. I met that goal. Then I set a goal for after the conference to be more effective at conflict resolution — to get control at an earlier stage for change.

Ivan Flores

It's much easier to take data and push it into a data warehouse than it is to take data and push it into operational systems. This harmonization and consolidation stage has to do with getting sight of what you've actually got and moving it into a better position from a data perspective.

Cliff Longman

Revolution! The people howls and cries, Freedom, that's what we're needing! We've needed it for centuries, our arteries are bleeding. The stage is shaking, the audience rock. The whole thing is over by nine o'clock.

Kurt Tucholsky

I think it's not a matter of public interest of public knowledge at this stage.

Scott Welch

The previous talks helped all parties accomplish a 'word-to-word' goal, and the new round will enter the stage of 'action-to-action', and there will be more substantial discussions.

Shen Jiru

It's taught me more about human interaction, which is a big thing on stage.

Chris Moneymaker

We're not in the mode that we are mad. We're not at the stage where I think, 'Orange County is taking my water.' We just need time to assess things.

Brian Wheeler

There just isn't enough money to make it interesting for anyone to go and settle with Andersen at this stage. You run too many risks that by settling with Andersen at this stage you could compromise your claims against other defendants who have adequate resources.

Charles Parker

That horse was crossing the stage only ... but night after night, I just realized that the public was following the horse instead of looking at the performers. You don't need a costume. You don't need makeup. You put it (the horse) on the stage, and it's a star.

Normand Latourelle

When you get to this stage, it's like a heavyweight boxing match. Teams are feeling each other out ... nobody wants to make a mistake. But then, they opened up.

Bob Marinelli

That set the stage for a lot of bad stuff.

Terry Beauford

Coffman continues to have the full confidence of the board. Coffman's decision to retire was a personal choice. He's ready to move on to the next stage of his life.

Tom Jurkowsky

It started out with a gathering at my house and my wife Janie's house. We had an idea to try to do something for the families involved in the second stage relief effort... we decided in the beginning that we wanted to have the kids involved because Hollywood actors and Broadway actors do fund-raisers. So we invited each school to submit one act.

Bill Strauss

I will be very calm because I am dreaming this so I will wake up in five minutes in Sarajevo. I'm dreaming that I'm here on this stage and dreaming that I'm here in Berlin.

Jasmila Zbanic

It's way, way too much pressure if you go overboard at this stage. If you go overboard, it's over.

David Wygant

Religion has caused more misery to all of mankind in every stage of human history than any other single idea.

Madalyn Murray O'hair

We all along said that we needed a puck-moving defenceman, and we've addressed that need. And the next stage of our needs (was) a centreman.

Kevin Lowe

I'd say there would be a number of clubs at this stage who can't find sponsors at the moment for their third-party agreements.

Brian Waldron

The situation remains critical and more help is needed. Sadly, this crisis is going to get worse before it gets better. The message to governments, donors and the media is that a few days rain does not end a food crisis. Complacency at this stage could kill thousands.

Andrew Featherstone

It was a truly exciting opportunity in that we were able to not only attract people from not just areas across the border but from around the United States. It's our hope we'll get to take this to a national stage . . . to another level.

Louis Grachos

Mr. Harrison's talk comes at the perfect time for the eager developer audience at the GDC. His discussion will answer many questions developers have for Sony at this stage before the impending PS3 launch.

Jamil Moledina

I just wasn't interested in going to New York, my interest wasn't TV or film. It was always the stage, musicals, Shakespeare.

Cindy Genzano

This is a great stage. I know the timing doesn't help Portsmouth, but I have to represent my country - I am the captain.

Lomana Lualua

At this stage of the game it's an absolute blowout, partly because of the terrorist threats to the subway and the way he acted like a commander in chief.

Maurice Carroll

This is not exactly the type of game you want at this stage. But you can't do anything about it but play hard.

Steve Platt

Ethiopia reached this stage now when it cannot continue militarily. Militarily, they have lost heavily in the past two weeks.

Yemane Gebremeskel

Having this kind of technology available to athletes and coaches helps give us that necessary edge that you need to win on the world stage.

Nick Hill

He was supposed to do two songs, and we couldn't get him off the stage. What he felt was the energy that we re-create. We don't just live this, this is our lifestyle.

Randy Monroe

We are so ecstatic. It's awesome. At this stage in our life, it's wonderful news.

Bart Conner

You don't just take material from another author and put it on the stage when you do an adaptation. You have to deepen character and motivation; you have to create action and dramatic moments.

Robert Schenkkan

Unfortunately the winds look like they are picking up at this stage and we are expecting them to increase.

Rebel Talbert

The amount of money it takes to get a company to the IPO stage is larger than it used to be. It used to be a $2-$3 million initial investment and $8-10 million over the life of the company. Now it's more like $15 to $25 million over the life of the company.

Tom Dyal

The last time I was on stage in New York was in 1972, downtown at the Eden Theatre in Grease .

Adrienne Barbeau

He asked questions at every stage of the demonstration.

Lou Gellos

This is a very important stage in the trial.

Miranda Sissons

People were talking while I was playing, so I got up and left the stage. I've gotten to the point where I'm not really very patient with patrons rapping during the show. And the people were all nice and quiet when I cam back.

Bruce Hornsby

Until then, there's no reason why the market will go up. There's nothing driving the market at this stage.

Steve Mayne

Russia's plan is at a stage of serious consideration, and negotiations on it are ongoing. Agreement between Tehran and Moscow has already been reached on certain points of Russia's proposals, in particular on increasing the number of participants in the project.

Manouchehr Mottaki

The amount of music lovers who have got involved in Peel Day to stage gigs is amazing.

Andy Parfitt

My gut feeling is that there has been sufficient movement to merit supporting it in principle - at second reading - but I want to leave open that there may be things that need to be clarified or altered or amended at committee stage.

Patrick Hall

I'm so excited because every year we've gotten to a different stage. We've feel short with teams that were good enough. It's time for us to take it this year. We're going to leave it all on the floor.

Andre Payne

The creative person basically has two kinds of jobs: One is the sexy, creative kind. Second is the kind that pays the bills. Sometimes the task in hand covers both bases, but not often. This tense duality will always play center stage. It will never be transcended.

Hugh Macleod

I don't use backing tapes when I am singing and dancing on stage. I can do cartwheels and sing.

Beyonce Knowles

The next stage in the evolution of the Federal Enterprise Architecture is realization -? actually building it.

John George

The Jerusalem Brigades leadership had given orders to all its groups to stop firing rockets to preserve the Palestinian national project at this delicate and decisive stage of history, and to give a chance for a Zionist departure from our dear Gaza Strip in (conditions of) calm.

Islamic Jihad

We edited out a few of the drums because of the size of the stage. The piece has to do with calligraphy and motion, linear motion.

Annie Bunker

The second stage benefits we found were a simple expansion of those benefits; that Linux provided a simple variation of IT efforts, enhanced IT staff performance and helped to retain existing IT staff.

Charles Kingsley

It was still in the developmental stages. It was 36 hours later that the storm was at its most intense stage.

Walt Drag

If I can go on stage in a bikini and heels and still show I am confident and I like how I look no matter what size I am, they know I can stand up in any uncomfortable situation that is thrown to me.

Marlia Fontaine

These are very early stage companies that have a good idea, product or service and we help them develop it.

Bill Fontana

We Latinos are in a growing stage in the NBA. It's all part of the international basketball boom.

Manu Ginobili

The first stage will not include a disengagement of the military forces from the West Bank.

Lior Horev

It's really cool to see your work progress through each stage. That is the most exciting part for me.

Amelia Horton

I shared the stage with Jerry for 35 years and think about him every time I pick up my guitar. This special coming together is one way to celebrate all that Jerry has given us - to feel alive and good with Jerry's spirit and smile.

Bob Weir

I am delighted that Jim has agreed to stay and continue to help us take our business to the next stage of our development ... In a relatively short time, he has developed a good understanding of our business and the issues we face, and has made a real contribution to the Corporation.

Paul Jennings

I never felt I left the stage.

Helen Gahagan Douglas

This should be a fun fight. We look forward to meeting (UPN) on the broadcast stage.

Ray Carter

I trained as a theater actor and you had a bare stage and you had to pretend, one prop and you are in the middle of 8th Ave. and traffic is just going by.

Benicio Del Toro

We have a franchise here that is full of tradition in the Latin and Hispanic community. Probably no franchise in baseball has more [Latin] tradition than the Giants, and now it comes full circle with our manager, Felipe [Alou], and with all the players. Just seeing Omar dancing on the stage an hour before the game is wonderful.

Larry Baer

If we don't get the Reading fixture out of the way we faced the danger of having to stage another league match within the play-off schedule in October. It was getting too much to take on.

John Campbell

At this stage it looks like this year's ozone hole will be quite average or maybe a little above average.

Geir Braathen

It took me forever to get him up on the stage. He's very bashful.

Chuck Brown

My generation, faced as it grew with a choice between religious belief and existential despair, chose marijuana. Now we are in our Cabernet stage.

Peggy Noonan

What makes it special for me is the historical significance of standing on that stage and thinking of all the icons and pioneers that came before.

Steve Wariner

Talks are at an advanced stage.

Mike Bartlett

It's every musician's dream to play in Carnegie Hall. Just think of the musical history that's taken place on that stage. It's cool to be a part of that.

Neil Anderson

It's much better in that there's more room to stage the battle. I think our fans will be happy we moved it back, too.

Jan Knowles

The stage is now set for the World Bank shareholders to fulfill their part of the bargain tomorrow.

Max Lawson

I wouldn't know any newer bands. We're past the pimple stage.

Angus Young

At this stage a correction would be healthy, ... One should take advantage of (a correction) by adding to the sector.

Alberto Vilar

The payrolls data resolves the big puzzle and the big worry over the U.S. outlook. It means the Fed can now consider raising rates at some stage.

Aziz Mcmahon

She is plain but on the stage she looks all right.

Jessica Tandy

There's just nobody better to walk on that stage that night and be able to comment on it and bring a personal perspective on it.

Ken Ehrlich

This is a very emotional time and sets the stage for the importance of each participant's contribution. A festive atmosphere always develops around the track area when the survivors make the first celebration lap to open up the Relay.

Paula Fambrough

By investing in top-tier, expansion-stage companies funded by premier, early stage VC funds, we have kept our loss rate low and produced strong returns for our limited partners.

Steve Bird

It's a community stadium with a nice setup. It's a compliment to be invited to play in it, and it's a great stage for our kids.

Tom Blake

At this stage in the negotiation process, we believe decisions are being made not only on dollars and cents, but also ego, strategy and a broader view of the competitive landscape.

Joanne K. Wuensch

Once Howard Dean lost the Iowa primary, there was no licking of wounds; there was no baying at the moon. There was, let's move to another stage now. We've got the right idea here.

Neil Abercrombie

I have the worst ear for criticism; even when I have created a stage set I like, I always hear the woman in the back of the dress circle who says she doesn't like blue.

Cecil Beaton

When I first started in a band, I wasn't very good; I was thinking too much about being on stage rather than just being on stage. It's completely primal. Intuitive. Instinctive. You don't consider your moves, you just do them. There are very few things in life when you're just doing that thing and not thinking about anything else. Performing is one of them.

Alex Kapranos

Music is anti-intellectual. It's non-literal, and you have to find out what makes the director happy. You want to let someone hear what you're thinking about. Because if you get to the stage, and the director says "I wasn't thinking like that," then your score won't be in the movie.

Bill Conti

It has been a hard race and I have given a huge amount of energy to get the boat going better, but at this stage the best thing for me is to make a change.

Steve Hayles

When recruiters go online, they are just assuming a lot of resumes are going to be in the early career stage.

Pam Dixon

I think it's real big. Obviously he's worked so hard to get to this stage in his career. I hope he gets a chance to play when he gets there. Just getting named to the team and being so young is a great accomplishment. I hope he can make the most of it when he gets to Germany.

Chris Gbandi

At this stage Sunday looks fine. There may be a shower or two in the morning but it will be settling.

Ward Rooney

We need to get out of the rumor stage and into the facts.

Bill Martus

The determination and enthusiasm of the Category 5 team makes it the perfect home for my music as I embark on this next stage of my career. The promotional savvy and level of support they've pledged meets or exceeds anything I've seen from the major labels I've been associated with.

Travis Tritt

Until you get to the stage where this is real for most people, it will be a hard sell.

Ivan Oelrich

... What we're trying to do is prevent people from getting to that stage and identifying these health issues early on so we can get them connected with an appropriate health care provider.

Francine Francis

I played very solid all round. This morning, I had a four foot putt for birdie, but I missed that one. Overall, I'm satisfied with the way I played and (it's) obviously good to be leading at this stage.

Miguel Angel Jimenez

This is a stage the requires much patience. We don't expect a tremendous turnaround. We're hoping for the best.

Shmuel Shapira

There is a Pakistan connection. But what we expect to find at some stage is that there is a clear al Qaeda link because the four men who are dead are in the category of foot soldiers.

Brian Blair

The interesting thing with Coyote Valley development is that it is really our community, but it's the city of San Jose. All of us are doing more with less. At this time, in this very preliminary stage, we don't have the luxury of staff time or resources.

Lisa Desilva

Even things like dressing, cleaning themselves, eating, handling a knife and fork are difficult tasks. For the staff and also for the patients, it's a stage of the disease where you have to support them a lot with their failing capacities.

Bengt Winblad

This is how I define grace: you're on the main stage, and it looks like it has been rehearsed 100 times, everything goes so smoothly. That's where I get my confidence and success, from knowing that I have an edge because I know I'm prepared.

Alex Rodriguez

Most of the publishers we are dealing with at this stage aren't using any DRM.

Holmes Wilson

We continue to believe Fairchild is an early stage restructuring story with the most gross margin leverage in the group.

Tim Luke

[But] Stage Beauty ... these two very intelligent actors, who are witty and attractive, got on very well.

Richard Eyre

My Ag2R teammates had an absolutely fantastic race. They've protected me since the first day on every stage and there's no way I could have done it without them.

Simon Gerrans

We have the potential to develop into a really good side and have managed to put ourselves into contention for most of the time. However, we must learn to be far more decisive and to close the door on the opposition when we have the initiative. The Hong Kong Sevens is a massive stage for any Sevens player and our guys will be highly motivated to make an impact.

Paul Treu

My jaw nearly hit the floor when he got up on stage. He had such timing and range and he had stage presence for a 13-year-old. I thought 'What have we here?'

Brenda Davies

We're thrilled to be selected by a venture capital firm like Spark, whose founders have a combined century of experience in building and backing leaders in media and technology. This latest round of VC financing will help fuel the next stage of our rapid growth, as we expand our development of digital media content management, syndication, advertising and mobile solutions.

Ian Blaine

There are some people that probably would have been on stage that are going to be backstage for this show, which is fine. It gives them a different perspective.

Mark Eberhard

There will probably be some double-takes as she's obviously the Miss Hoolie the children have seen on television.They'll be like 'why aren't you on stage?

Julie Wilson

When I'm on stage the savage in me is released. It's like going back to being a cave man. It takes me six hours to come down after a show.

Angus Young

I've had about six days off and I'm desperate to get back on stage. To be honest, the older we get, the more we want to get out there and enjoy it.

Chas Hodges

Our position [on sanctions] is quite clear and does not require further clarification. At this stage, we consider it unproductive to discuss the issue of sanctions.

Nikolai Spassky

My dream was always to hop up on stage in front of my fans every night and perform.

Avril Lavigne

Olivier's was, to my mind, the definitive Macbeth. Olivier had murder in his heart the moment he came on the stage.

John Gielgud

I don't think we will be seeing Hector Ruiz exit stage left imminently.

Matthew Wilkins

I believe they reflect the stabilization we've achieved in our customer base, and our field organization in the last quarter, setting the stage for future growth.

Bob Bishop

She's the child that Baton Rouge raised. To see her on this stage is a compliment to her.

Pokey Chatman

We're still reviewing the circumstances surrounding the shooting. Most of the investigation is complete. At this point, we're largely in the evaluation stage of the review.

Simon Brown

We're still in the development stage for that.

Dena Crews

They have been painting the barn red and white, chasing skunks from the stage, clearing bird nests from the spotlights, scraping mildew from costumes and very gingerly, in the manner of city slickers, shooing snakes out of the yard.

Maureen Dowd

[It's] good news because liquidation of inventories sets the stage for stronger orders, stronger production and stronger employment growth down the road.

Henry Willmore

It was just exciting to be back up there on the stage again.

Jack Hunter

We want to keep it simple. We're just getting to the stage now where we're writing a few originals. We don't have a CD. We play when we want and anything we want. And, that's fine with us.

Tony Davoren

I like it (the challenge) to be honest. It's a little bigger game than TCU or Tulsa. I'm not saying those weren't big games, but this is our first road game. It's great motivation to go out there on a national stage and get the job done.

Alan Davis

You've got to love the villain if you have to play him. You've got to find something that you can live with in yourself if you're going to play the villain in a play on stage.

Jim Dale

This case is not about money because this boy is a cancer victim of stage four who is in danger of death. There's no way you should go through the criminal justice system if what you're after is money.

Maureen Orth

We're doing everything we can to make it safe and playable. There's a lot of hard work going into this and I won't be sleeping until Saturday. This was the largest stage ever built and the last of it didn't come out until [yesterday] morning. What we saw then was certainly bad enough for us to try to replace it. I made some phone calls.

Dave Mellor

By its nature, (an insurance policy) is a complex product - some more complex that others - and this is an effort to raise the knowledge of people, regardless of what stage of life they're in. No one is born with an innate knowledge of insurance.

Alessandro Iuppa

Singing on the concert stage is the freest form, my favorite thing in the world.

Mandy Patinkin

There was nothing good about her lipid panel. We were able to catch her at a very early stage.

Susan Van Zile

We think a greater public free float will be beneficial to the share price and it is a limitation. There is no fixed view at this stage about the Crown's reaction to that. But it is something we will be exploring with the Crown as to whether there is value for them and all shareholders in paying some attention to the free float.

John Palmer

Shana is a decisive leader who will bring key policy and political skills to the front office of NASA. With strong relationships within the commercial, science, academic and policy arenas, she will play a key role in the next stage of the Vision for Space Exploration.

George Whitesides

It's kind of a cross between 'American Idol' and 'The Beverly Hillbillies' where you go from nowhere, here's somebody making their debut on a national stage.

Joe Mattioli

It was very intense, and it did a lot for our preparation, but clearly, it's not enough if we want to really impress on the world stage.

John Cumberbatch

They are full of life on stage. It's just a very dynamic show.

David Mulovhedzi

They'll see it as too much bureaucracy at that stage of their career.

Stephen Mcclure

We need to reduce the fossil fuels we use and travel we do, but simply saying to people 'don't do that' is not effective. We see this as part of a wider picture - at some stage we will all have individual carbon allowances and our schemes are helping people to get used to the idea that they produce a personal carbon footprint.

Tom Morton

You're as good as the people on stage.

Ralph Miller

But that's one of the nice things about doing a stage show, if something doesn't work out, you have the luxury of working on it over time.

Bea Arthur

People ask me how far I've come. And I tell them twelve feet: from the audience to the stage.

David Lee Roth

It so amazes you how much stage fright you get. I've been in front of cameras all my life, but that first tee, standing over that ball that's not even moving, it's scarier than doing a movie.

Michael Douglas

Who's actually funding this is essentially Bill Gates. Now we need the public to step in and take it to the next stage.

Mary Moran

We are in the black theater of nonexistence. In an eye blink the curtain is up, the stage ablaze, for the vast drama of ourselves.

Herman Wouk

My legendary speaking career began right here on this stage.

Ken Dryden

The new players have convinced me of their ability to compete at the next level and this is their opportunity to show that on the international stage. This starts next week in Wellington and the guys are excited at the challenge of playing in front of their home crowd.

Gordon Tietjens

I remember when it happened she didn't know where her father or her aunts or her grandmother was and how her grandmother was really sick. I remember her talking about that a lot. And she went through a depression stage, but then she also used that to lift her up rather than keep her down. It was bad, but in a way it was good because it made her become stronger.

Janice Williams

Tragedy on the stage is no longer enough for me, I shall bring it into my own life.

Antonin Artaud

In the element of Utah, this is a new thing -- this is interracial love on stage. This is kind of a controversial issue, but one that has to be told.

We're still in the infancy stage. We haven't done any marketing. I think once the sun shines, once people pay their taxes, then we will be able to get a reading of where exactly we are.

Ben Vanzutphen

This stage has got a stinger in the tail.

Chuck Hodge

We are certainly encouraging conservation of fuel, at this point, ... We are not at a panic stage at this point but we need to be smart.

We call on you to understand the priorities of our Palestinian people at this stage and continue the spiritual and financial support in order to push the region towards stability rather than pressure and tension.

Brian Quinn

There is certainly a set of people who are looking to become professional developers at some stage.

Dan Fernandez

Terry Waite

I'm hoping to be back in a month, there's a fair amount of stitches in the back of my leg and because it's on the crease, it's going to take a little bit longer to heal and there's probably no reason to push it at this stage.

Stephen Larkham

I was singing in a mall, and I picked a girl to come up onstage with me. As I was grabbing her hand, I fell off the stage. It felt like I was in the air forever, flying like Superman.

Aaron Carter

It's intended for those patients who are at an advanced stage of diabetes. Other therapies haven't helped them and they are in a lot of pain. Because of that, we're happy to be providing MAT for our South Florida patients.
