I think going into the Guineas at his seventh start in his first preparation would be asking a bit too much of him. He's done enough at this stage of his career and I don't want to overtax him.

Michael Hibbs

We've never felt qualified to stand on a stage and espouse our political beliefs. But now, I don't think you can escape having a heightened awareness of current events and government policies. Maybe that comes from being older, where you see how decisions actually affect people.

Jim Adkins

This is the most important test they will take the entire time they are in high school. Because if they don't pass it, they do not walk across the stage with a diploma.

Karen Owens

On the back side today I actually turned to one of the guys and said 'I'm flat out, I can't go any quicker at this stage' and I got no response.

Robert Walsh

They're firing on almost all cylinders at this stage of the game.

Michael Exstein

Ceremonies are like a peak period of each stage of life. They mark a transition where people are going to move from one stage to another and will understand the roles and responsibilities expected of them at the next stage.

Carol Beckwith

Our intent is to have no secrets. We are just like you right now. We are in the information gathering stage.

Scott Harris

I think what it makes sense for political people to do is not to get on the stage, not issue press releases ... and not exploit it for political purposes, [but] simply put on a pair of blue jeans and a sweatshirt and go and be part of the crowd.

Promise Keepers

The chief of naval operations has outlined an aggressive enterprise IT strategy, and formation of this EPMO will set the stage for future IT growth throughout the Navy. BearingPoint is honored to assist in transforming the way the Navy manages and delivers on its IT priorities.

Beth Smith

Personally, it felt good -- to play against the best guys in the world, and having the opportunity to be seen on a bigger stage. It definitely was a great experience -- for me, and for MLS in general.

Shalrie Joseph

Our goals are to expand the Hooters Pro Cup Series into another division in the near future. This race will be a perfect way to showcase our product to Midwestern fans on a grand stage and possibly lay the groundwork for a Midwest division.

Tony Cox

People said that they would be much more willing to attend American Stage in the Park if we would program something other than Shakespeare, specifically musicals. The musicals we will do will still be uniquely American Stage. They will be musicals you would not likely see a (touring) Broadway series.

Todd Olson

We had no other option, only victory ... I believe we did well and we're on our way to a good stage.

Ratomir Dujkovic

I went from being an auto mechanic to being on stage. It turned into a very good living and opened a lot of doors. I met a lot of celebrities.

Larry Taylor

It's just been a dream of mine. The Alley Cats are up there with you, they give you the stage lights, and you put on your own concert.

Christina Cantu

Little Feat had done risky moves from the get go. You're going to lose people and get people. If they don't get it, it's probably not the first thing they didn't get. Most were middle-aged guys who were still wondering where Lowell was. We try to honor Lowell every time we go on stage. If they like it that's fine. If the audience doesn't show up we'll call it a day.

Billy Payne

It's getting pretty frustrating at this stage.

Maggie White

Unfortunately, a lot of coaches have grasped the concept of self promotion and Tom never cared about self promotion. It is a mystery with Tom Moore. But the guy has never played politics. . . . Now he's at the stage where it's an age issue.

Chris Mortensen

Monday's first stage was the first completion of a full road stage for our parts and this late in the production cycle, it really did come down to this.

Michael Zellmann

Each department of knowledge passes through three stages. The theoretic stage; the theological stage and the metaphysical or abstract stage.

Auguste Comte

We need a good game before district and have set goals all along to have a winning season and to make the playoffs. This is the end of our first stage, and although it would be nice to be 3-1, it won't matter what our records are after tonight.

Charles Swann

IP Telephony is maturing into the 'value-add' stage. By integrating communications with business applications and processes, companies can create business models that break new ground in customer service and operational effectiveness.

Lawrence Byrd

Their abilities to stage, warehouse and distribute donated goods is severely stressed at present.

Phil Taylor

All the top players were excited last year when the 'National Heads-Up Poker Championship' was announced, ... Then the event exceeded our expectations. This is the type of big-time stage that will enhance poker's position as a mainstream institution for decades to come.

Phil Hellmuth

Before the race, I had to go to the end infield and they had me stand on the stage. They gave me a big Sharpie to sign the bus with.

Allison Williams

It is therefore high time that we learned from past mistakes and used our considerable moral authority on the question of nuclear disarmament for the greater good of international peace and stability, rather than simply protecting at any cost an increasingly dangerous actor on the international stage.

Douglas Gibson

Ralph is not only a man of accomplishment, but a man of integrity. Those of us who knew and loved Bob are confident that Ralph is just the kind of artist that he hoped would one day take the stage.

Mark Joseph

If it's stage, the two most important artists are the actor and the playwright. If it's film, THE most important person is the director. The director says where the camera goes.

Brad Dourif

If I asked for a (stage) light, it was not an ask but a demand. If I demanded, I was having a fit.

Shelley Berman

The morning is when a man's testosterone peaks in his 24-hour hormone cycle. And Day 13 is when testosterone peaks in a woman's monthly hormone cycle. When these two hormonal peaks intersect, they can set the stage for the best sex all month long.

Gabrielle Lichterman

They are an extremely well-coached team, and that patience is the key. They will lull you to sleep, and those back cuts will be open, and they'll have open jumpers. Or you can become frustrated and foul. Particularly at this stage of the game, it's mental. You have to be mentally prepared to execute.

Dondi Mcgowan

I have had a conversation with the referee by telephone; he is going to go home and submit a report to me overnight. At this stage I can't say any more until we get further information from the referee and look at the video.

Graham Annesley

We are cautiously optimistic that the impact of the infection stage of this particular variant of the Code Red worm ... has been minimized.

Ron Dick

Think of BMW at an early stage of development in the 1970s and 1980s, when it was playing catch up with Mercedes.

Colin Couchman

Jim and I have formed a great relationship. When the time is right for Jim to move on, then we'll have that discussion. Of course he's thought about retirement. That's something most people do when they get to a certain stage of their careers.

Gerald Turner

We need to prepare well, we need to play well. This is a big game for (Memorial). We know that. It's a big game. It's the final stage of an inner-city rivalry and we're really focused on the fact that it's a district game. There's a lot of interest because of the magnitude of the game. It really makes it fun.

Blair Philbrick

Even if I didn't score we would have won. But to score on such a big stage, even I was surprised.

Yusuke Nakai

I always wanted to be on stage and perform.

Chelsea Wallace

You don't have to have an elaborate stage.

Craig Adams

The business conditions survey is going to take center stage for Canada, maybe in particular because the Canadian dollar seems to be playing an important role in the Bank of Canada's thinking now.

Carolyn Kwan

It is a concern for us. We are at the very early stage of an intervention that could last three or four months.

Frederick William Robertson

We have a history of dealing with these kinds of matters, and we have gotten better at it. The Koreans are at a very nascent stage of dealing with these kinds of things.

Mark Frankel

The difference is that instead of giving our opening introduction by describing the illuminate according to Brown's vision, we commit to proving the group never existed in this way, or stage of Rome's history, at least.

Tony Polzer

Executives can help set the stage by clarifying and focusing on the core information essential to conducting, managing, and leading the company and then by demanding and promoting high information quality throughout operational processes and systems.

Lee Dittmar

We're at the very front end of the fact-gathering stage. An allegation has been made, and the National Western Stock Show felt it warranted looking into it.

Lynn Kimbrough

I moved from a rebelliousness to a more uplifting stage. Before, I was always out of place. When I came to Miami, I kind of sunk in.

Javier Garcia

They are under pressure and we want to keep the pressure on. I am very encouraged at this stage by the progress we are making. The net is closing in.

Adrian Leppard

This market is acting just like late stage bull markets have always acted in the past. What we have here are stocks that represent growth, not value. We have fewer stocks advancing and fewer groups, although it's broadening a little bit.

Vincent Farrell

We definitely have not discounted any suspicious circumstances at this stage.

John Pierce

It is obviously a significant blow to us because he is a key member of our squad. But his absence will provide an opportunity for somebody else to come in and perform for us at this important stage of the season.

Dean Ryan

We see an opportunity to expand the art of early-stage investing in Canada. Through our network of relationships in Canada, the U.S. and internationally, we will find, fund, and grow great technology companies that leverage Canadian resources to attain global prominence.

Tom Sweeney

I think when an actress marries she should leave the stage. She cannot be happy if she is married and remains on the stage. She must care more for her art or for her husband. . . . If I ever loved a man better than I love my art, I should marry him and leave the stage. But I have never met such a man.

Billie Burke

At this stage it does not, however, appear that his death will have a material impact on the audit process or the timetable for communicating with shareholders.

Peter Gray

When you are a stage in your program that we are at, winning on the road late in the season is huge. We have already won more road games this year than we did last year, so this was really big for us to come in here and get a win.

Charles Ramsey

We miss him. That concert was the last time we played on stage together. We did a couple of tracks from A Rock In The Weary Land.

Mike Scott

I hope I don't trip over myself on stage.

Mel Jones

We would not have decent pitches to stage the tournament on. It would be more like water polo than football.

Issa Hayatou

I'm very pleased as Michael is a great director but I would still love to see a full production of Blink on stage in the future.

Ian Rowlands

The whole project is being re-evaluated at this stage. But we will most likely go forward without Pat Robertson.

Jonathan Pulik

There is no doubt that our judgment (for a policy shift) has entered a crucial stage.

Kiyohiko Nishimura

We've got a lot of people who don't mind getting on stage making a fool of themselves for charity.

Mike Thomas

[The England board (ECB) has been liaising with its Pakistan counterparts (PCB) as well as the two governments over the weekend.] We send our condolences to the Pakistani people who have been affected by the earthquake, ... At this stage there is no indication the tour is in any doubt or the tour schedule affected in any way.

Colin Gibson

I have played a lot of cricket over the last 12 months and I feel that a rest would be beneficial for me at this stage of my career. I have toured regularly with England over the past ten years and this decision will also give me an opportunity to spend more time with my children.

Darren Gough

Saurav and I discussed the balance of the team and there were a number of issues but that's all I want to say at this stage.

Greg Chappell

The first goal is to win the stage. The jersey is just a bonus.

Peter Mazur

Their role on the world stage is huge.

Mike Ferguson

(Kajima) is trying to make sure there will be no hurdles at planning and zoning. This is the first stage to see if they can get the height they need for the facility.

Pat Topping

We're at a stage where both sides are reflecting and the Chinese side suggested we meet again ... tomorrow.

Anthony Gooch

I started preparing Wolfram long ago because there was practically no stage time and no rehearsals at the Met, just a week. Luckily I'm a quick learner.

Bryn Terfel

I have 150 kids on my master e-mail list for the Playhouse, and I hand-picked the 22 I felt had the strongest voices and stage presence. Our whole mission is to get kids involved in the arts, so this was a great opportunity for them and for the Playhouse. These kids will be the best chorus the tour has ever had.

Diane Smith

I think it all worked out pretty good. I didn't do any work so I wasn't going to try to win the stage. The others had worked, so I wasn't going to try to contest the sprint.

Denis Menchov

We have a constructive view on the currency at the end of the year. There is definitely a risk that we may see inversion in commodities prices. My perception is that it isn't a big risk at this stage.

Maxime Tessier

At this stage of the game, the agent becomes an advisor and big brother to the player. Charles is a good person and a good father ... You work harder for the clients you like.

Joe Linta

I don't care what stage or what reason, as long as we're playing.

Billy Idol

We've got plans to try and get him out and luckily to this stage it has worked. We feel pretty good about things at the moment. Obviously getting Brian and Chris Gayle (for 68), who are two huge players for them, helps us immensely.

Daniel Vettori

It shows that he talks to the coaches and does research, and that professionalism comes across on the air. I think Aaron has the potential to be a play-by-play guy on the large stage. He's dedicated to being the best announcer he can be.

Randy Thompson

It's going to be rather nice, ... Center stage for once in my life.

Peter Mayhew

We will be talking about issues like education and Social Security, which had not been center stage at Republican conventions before.

Andy Card

Dancing is my number one love. That was my first goal as a child. I would love to do stage, maybe do Chicago. I love being in front of an audience. It's so stimulating. I also love to barbecue.

Carmen Electra

It is going to need a lot of continuing work talking to the parties before we can get to the stage of a new round of intensive negotiations.

Alastair Campbell

OLD, adj. In that stage of usefulness which is not inconsistent with general inefficiency, as an _old man_. Discredited by lapse of time and offensive to the popular taste, as an _old_ book. 'Old books? The devil take them!' Goby said. 'Fresh every day must be my books and bread.' Nature herself approves the Goby rule And gives us every moment a fresh fool. .

Ambrose Bierce

To say what the monetary value is at this stage is impossible, but it is probably running into the millions.

Mike Schussler

These people who come today...a lot of them know her as the Janette Carter they see on stage. But, to us, she was mom and it's hard to give that up. You always need your mom and that never stops.

Rita Forrester

I have always been of the mind that good work is good work, whether performed on stage, on television or in film and, like any reasonable actor, I keep my options open.

Benjamin Bratt

At this stage of the game, many of the questions are not answerable.

John Skalko

People have brought trumpets on stage, we have had people use violins.

Ben Wagner

Remember that as a teenager you are at the last stage of your life when you will be happy to hear that the phone is for you.

Fran Lebowitz

We just looked for a good stage and good sound. I just thought it could be a place where we could have killer bands play. It's a cool venue that really doesn't do original music.

Ryan Puliz

Containment lines (are) holding at this stage but we're very worried about the wind blowing up strongly.

Bob Carr

NOTORIETY, n. The fame of one's competitor for public honors. The kind of renown most accessible and acceptable to mediocrity. A Jacob's-ladder leading to the vaudeville stage, with angels ascending and descending.

Ambrose Bierce

Beautiful summer afternoon, loads of people -- well over 100,000. Happy, relaxed, laid back gig -- not loud on stage. Just pleasant volume unlike (the) preceding band I played with.

Ginger Baker

I can drink on the job if I want to. I can go on stage with a beer and it's OK. I can say whatever I want. It's a great job to have.

Rodney Carrington

(Dole) was too heavy-handed in those days. Republicans learned their lessons, ... I don't think you're going to see any nastiness, at least not at this early stage.

Dan Cronin

[In 1986, McKenzie publicly criticized his boss in a Dance Magazine interview, noting he'd] made the classic mistakes of a new director. ... The only time I was all right during that period was when I was on stage.

Kevin Mckenzie

It puts him (Warner) in the top three on the stage for 2008.

Mike Erlandson

But I'm concerned about boat traffic and safety, the erosion of the existing shoreline, and how this will set the stage for future developments.

Steve Hayes

While the closure of the Texas stores results in an impairment charge, it does set the stage for fundamentally improving our Texas operations, ... The competitive environment has softened over the last couple of quarters, which has allowed us to improve our sales in that environment despite carrying these underperforming stores.

Steve Burd

At this stage, everyone is a professional. Everyone knows the game, and they know the players. So I think it behooves a coach to be open to asking (us) about certain players. At this level, everyone's adults. Everyone's mature in this game.

Brooke Wyckoff

That would be nice. But I fear that these controversies have set the stage for each of these campaigns to just attack their opponents' character all the way until Election Day.

Joseph Marbach

My mother was born in Lima, Peru, and my father is American of primarily German and English descent. And as I understand it, Bratt is of English origin. People often ask me if it's a stage name. In fact, it is not.

Benjamin Bratt

It wasn't so much that I was all alone on stage, but it was the realization of how much you need the response ... you need the audience to tell you where to go.

Loretta Swit

It's having more of an effect than I imagined it would at this stage.

Bob Peterson

April 2008 is the expiration date for the TAG grant we were brought in under. This is the first stage, no shovels in the ground.

Mary Rooney

We saw in her the fact that she was ready to go to the next stage and direct and we wanted to take advantage of that.

Stuart Wall

We certainly don't need to get in a position where we have created some expectation that three or four years from now we can't meet. Promising a full scholarship at this early stage is not a good idea.

David Fowler

We will not be intimidated or pushed off the world stage by people who do not like what we stand for, and that is, freedom, democracy and the fight against disease, poverty and terrorism.

Madeleine Albright

My official position is that we have not settled. At this stage, what's going on in District Court is clearly moving ahead. It's up to RIM to make a decision about whether it wants to settle.

Don Stout

At this stage we're making significant progress, but we are still at the stage of gathering evidence and we want this to be done thoroughly.

Robert Moyles

Lake Wales is a tremendous defensive squad. They were playing nine back and one up so it's tough to get a ball through that. It was a good battle. I felt it was going to be a one goal game either way and we were fortunate to get the bounce and put it in. Whoever you play at this stage of the season is going to be good so I expect every game to be close from here on out.

Art Weaver

At this stage there is nothing, but the investigating officer indicated that there might be a breakthrough soon.

Billy Jones

Predatory lending is a cancer that should be wiped out. We've reached a new stage in the debate over predatory lending laws. It's clear that state laws improve substantially on federal law and protect people who would otherwise be in danger of losing thousands of dollars - or even their homes.

Keith Ernst

The companies are merging out of necessity because sales of their top-selling medicines are stagnating and they have a shortage of early-stage experimental medicines in their pipelines.

Viren Mehta

Everybody has off-field problems at some stage in their life. What you've got to do is be able to handle those problems and make sure they don't affect your work - and I'm sure Paul will be able to do that.

John Kear

I think when you reach this stage of your life, you're just looking for the traditional. It just seemed to put the finishing touch on the relationship. I never had children, so the thought of being a grandmother just blows me away.

Jay Shippole

It's disappointing that we led the rally and scored the most stage wins but our pace wasn't reflected in the results. We must continue to work hard to overcome these teething problems with the new car.

Jost Capito

Being here on the big stage is the fun part. The difference in the game was we had more heart and played as a team. We're friends with most of those guys on Mount Tahoma, but we're enemies on the court.

Isaiah Thomas

She grew up. I told her this is the stage everybody wants to be on. She's not a freshman anymore.

Steve Sanchez

The opportunities are there for Ramon, just like Edgar. That's definitely a good example, ... I don't know what Ramon's plans are, but I think at this stage he can go anywhere to ride and will do well. He's 10 years younger and right on course to go where Edgar is. He could follow in his footsteps.

Steve Rushing

We are just trying out some tactical things. It all depends on what tactics we'll use against the Bulls. At this stage we are just testing some players to see what patterns they fit into and what they are comfortable with.

Rassie Erasmus

This is a very unique vehicle. During the early part of the flight, it acts like a spacecraft. In the middle phase, the HTV reenters the atmosphere like the Space Shuttle, and in the latter stage, it flies like an aircraft. It is an interesting mix of challenges and technologies.

Russ Partch

I was really hoping to make it to Saturday, because then you know you're making it to an elite stage.

Ryan Kardash

So power is one thing that's stable at this stage - we're not contemplating any change.

John Benson

As we went into December and energy was in that hyper-inflation stage, we looked at measures to cut down the costs.

Brian Donahue

We're so looking forward to it. I can't imagine what's going to happen on the main stage. It almost feels like we graduated, from the second stage to the main stage.

Cristiano Migliore

Had he been in a different era, he would have been the one, and this time he has been able to stand on the stage in his own and get the accolades he deserves.

Alan Thompson

Assuming Lehman can successfully stage a profit rebound in early 2002, we believe the shares will prove to be an excellent value at this point, and we continue to see strong franchise value given the scarcity value of solid investment banking franchises.

Judah Kraushaar

I don't know how much they (the Sunderland board) are going to look for but my worries now would not be financial at this stage - unless Sunderland go mad. It is not about putting money on the table and making an offer for a football club. We have to prove to ourselves, before we go near any fans or any club, that we are capable of running a football club.

Niall Quinn

At this stage there is no indication the tour is in any doubt or the tour schedule affected in any way.

Colin Gibson

I don't care about champagne backstage or anything else - the one thing I need to specify is that I can't have any Arctic drafts on stage.

Siouxsie Sioux

No, it doesn't help at all, because it doesn't matter, ... Andrew is not at that stage yet where he's able to compare, he hasn't earned that right yet to compare contracts.

Mike O'connell

We've already had somebody from Oregon who wants to produce it on stage.

Dan Eggleston

He's got a great arm. I think, physically, at this stage of the game, Chris weighs a little more than Adrian (McPherson) did and might, because of that, be able to make certain throws (McPherson couldn't).

Paul Maechtle

It felt great to be on that stage in front of so many friends and family. It was different than fighting at the amateur level. I came out to my own music and I had on my own boxing outfit. I could feel the electricity and it only drove my to push harder.

Maureen Shea

Now that China has joined the World Trade Organization, it steps onto the world stage more frequently. Once you participate in this platform, others can also influence you.

James Sung

It's been quite a challenge, but I'm trying to cover all of the bases. Normally, my wife handles the stage direction and I take care of the musical direction, but I am doing it all this time.

Doug Rogers

We are now in stage two of the recovery, The second phase of the recovery very much hinges on the ability of industrial output to improve.

Patrizio Merciai

The stock, any way you slice it, is attractive at this stage.

Ulysses Yannas

We had extra funding at an early stage to take care of the deficit and to fund various aspects of consultancy and research.

Peter Bellingham

Chris has an amazing ability to get the crowd going and get everyone singing along, ... He tries to make them feel very much that they're contributing to the atmosphere of the place. I think if you can make people feel involved like that, then it makes for a better experience for the audience and for us on stage.

Guy Berryman

We've got to have a big green space. The stage is very large. It's a 40-foot by 40-foot stage. Along with that, we want to be able to accommodate a large audience.

Chuck Swanson

Now comes the day of reckoning. Brown will push as hard as possible but at this stage there's not a lot he can do.

Daniel Gros

Twenty years ago, people didn't know why they died. 'Just because,' was the reason. These days, everybody knows the cause of death. The next stage is how to treat people. Now the understanding of disease is greatly improved.

Victor Tsui

Talks are progressing on one or two fronts but we're not yet at the stage where we are waiting on anybody.

Chris Hamilton

This is very disappointing. This is the last stage of development of the drug. We're really playing for keeps at this level.

Franklin Berger

Start dancing around the hall, then when you come in front of the stage, each one of you can kiss my ass.

Joe South

Although balance sheets look strong at this stage of the credit cycle, bond performance is likely to suffer ahead.

Diane Vazza

It's like we're beginning to have our eyes open for the first time. We've never seen detail like this before. We're still in the discovery stage, not an understanding phase.

Wallace Tucker

I call it event-appropriate, meaning you don't just have one style that you wear when you sing the national anthem at the Super Bowl and when you sing on a concert stage.

Tina Knowles

It is difficult to see the New Zealand dollar stage any kind of sustainable rally. Data is likely to portray softer growth than the Reserve Bank's projections.

Sean Comber

You couldn't ask for better at this stage.

Des Gleeson

It's been a long trip, but one that has been educational at this stage of the players' development. I hope we can learn from a game like this tonight. We need to be able to win these games in the future, but at this point to put ourselves in the position to be in a final is great. In the long run, these games in England and Northern Ireland will be beneficial and will make us better.

John Hackworth

I think it's much more likely that he will do an Indy movie before he does Lincoln . The Lincoln script is not as far in the development stage and...frankly, Steven may not want to do another serious movie after doing a Munich .

Marvin Levy

I love writing, and I love recording too, but there's something different about the energy. You're in your own little world the rest of the time, and when you're on stage, you're out there for everyone to see, and you're speaking your voice and you're speaking your mind. It rocks! It's fun!

Christine Evans

When the pair of buildings are seen together, with the plaza, it's going to become one of the favorite places in the art world, certainly a favorite in Texas. A quest of long duration is finally coming to a stage of fruition. ... Something extraordinary has been achieved after a long struggle.

Larry Faulkner

Some of these deals were done at the top of the market. Some of them are probably still in the due diligence stage and might be renegotiated or not happen at all.

David Massey

To me, he's one of the best guys I've ever seen at this stage of his career. He can be another Alex Rodriguez or better than him. This kid is coming up from Double-A. What he's doing is amazing.

Alfredo Amezaga

Everybody gets to a stage when it's time to move on. I was bored, and the band wasn't going anywhere, so I left. I did a couple of shows on Broadway and some other things. I was busy. I just wasn't making records.

Peter Noone

They wanted to stage celebrations throughout the county and in Baja (California). They recognized that we have a thriving arts community here. So it seemed a natural to build an exhibit here as part of the festival.

Mary Perhacs

Sometimes you forget how much fun it is being on stage.

Linda Walling

At this stage, I don't think I fall on either side of the referendum.

David Hutter

We're in the planning and talking stage. We may approve it next fiscal year.

Fred O'neal

There was kind of a code that you had as an Australian that you never left the court losing unless you had blood all over you. That's the sort of toughness you need to compete on the world stage and I feel that our kids today just don't have it.

John Newcombe

Seriously, the first year is survival stage.

Amber Dillon

We anticipate the Fed will continue to raise rates at least at the next two meetings. The report doesn't necessarily show signs at this stage of the kinds of declines in housing that a lot of pessimistic people have been discussing.

David Glocke

Maybe the reception or market for it is not as robust as what they thought it would be in the beginning. This is still a development-stage company and there's going to be a kind of wait-and-see, show-me attitude that I think we'll have to get through a little bit of.

Walter Nasdeo

A nightmare is two bassists on stage.

Chris Squire

End-Stage Renal Disease has been a long-standing challenge for the community. It's never raised itself in terms of volume of patients to be a huge need, but it's really an incredible inconvenience for the patients and their families.

Mike Donlin

GALLOWS, n. A stage for the performance of miracle plays, in which the leading actor is translated to heaven. In this country the gallows is chiefly remarkable for the number of persons who escape it. Whether on the gallows high Or where blood flows the reddest, The noblest place for man to die -- Is where he died the deadest. (Old play).

Ambrose Bierce

If there's evidence of human-to-human transmission, there will be small clusters. We are not at that stage.

Henk Bekedam

What has happened along the border is a very early stage amid general excitement. We can't judge Egypt's performance in such unusual conditions. We trust they will live up to their commitments.

Avi Pazner

I said, if it's going to be done, you're the ones who will have to do it. That's the way it should be. It's taken off from that point. We're having fun now. Even in a close ball game, you can see them smiling and having fun out there. And that's what you want at this stage.

Tony Pittman

The movie is in the editing stage now, and we hope to show it at film festivals next year.

Jesse Billauer

These closings set the stage for fundamentally improving our Texas operation.

Steve Burd

We are one of the few countries to have embarked on this stockpiling at a very early stage... until now, we have been one of the countries which has been in the lead on this, and it is part of a comprehensive plan.

Sir Liam Donaldson

We lost power and first gear in the last stage. It's been one of those rare days when everything has worked.

Martin Jones

We should be able to look at the scientific facts and say this is what it is: It's a member of the species at the earliest stage of development.

David Prentice

Sections of it are developed but it's not at announcement stage yet.

Margaret Murphy

I love being up on stage and performing in front of people. That's where I get the most energy.

Adam Haynes

It's a great band and it's great to back up a singer with great stage presence and stage charisma.

Lori Stofft

The exact shape of that is open, but I envision doing residencies there, training their kids in acting techniques and improvisation, doing performances and then having their kids doing shows on our stage.

John Schmedes

There comes a moment in a young artist's life when he knows he has to bring something to the stage from within himself. He has to put in something in order to be able to take something out.

Mikhail Baryshnikov

But whether it is military explosive, whether it is commercial explosive, whether it is plastic explosive, we do not want to say at this stage.

Brian Paddick

I celebrate my sexuality and it is something that I exude on stage.

Mig Ayesa

We're not at the drafting stage. I think we're moving toward the conceptual stage of what we need to do.

Richard Brodsky

I am looking forward to the Games - it has been nice to have something to focus on. I know that if I want to do well in the summer I need to get my fitness back as quickly as I can. It is almost like a bonus to have something to go for at this stage of the season.

Jo Pavey

They come because this is the story of multiple generations of their lives. They've heard these stories all their lives and they want to see what this looks like on stage.

James Garcia

I'm not going to talk about Hutton now, but I will at some stage. And I don't necessarily accept the findings of Lord Hutton.

Greg Dyke

Spring Fling is expected to draw an even larger crowd this year and so what we are probably going to do is extend it down and set up the main stage down by Student Wing.

Pat Craig

It's not just equal opportunity. It's every opportunity. These girls are always center stage, expected to do well, and they do well. We find that girls really thrive in this 'can do' environment.

Whitney Ransome

I was brainwashed. I just thought, why compete? I could never get on stage without drugs.

Ron Coleman

He's a very powerful and effective force inside the Republican conference, and at this stage, the sympathy and support for him is so strong that he is going to be exceptionally effective if he picks his shots.

Tom Cole

I got a good outlook from a casting director's point of view. They have so much talent at this stage in their careers and work so hard; you have to really analyze everything they do to come up with a winner.

Melissa Reeves

The production stage manager took women out of shows and harassed them for their voluptuous nature, and punished them in retaliation.

Alice Alyce

This is a new testing stage. The successor has to be tested out in an executive position.

Gennady Zyuganov

We're still in the crisis stage, ... Once we're past search and rescue and things calm down, we'll come up with guidelines on how we're going to use the money.

Ann Powell

The prosecutor and I have seldom, if at all, experienced an investigation being potentially ruined at such an early stage.

Leif Silbersky

Everything feels good, we are driving carefully with the aim to finish. It was definitely scary driving on that flat, but we certainly lost less time than if we had stopped on the stage to change the tyre!

Ken Block

We identified one of the heads as belonging to a sound technician working near the stage, and now believe only one suicide bomber was involved.

Niaz Siddiqui

There's no other time in the year where commercials can take center stage. Commercials are always the things that are playing when you're going to the bathroom or grabbing a soda from the fridge.

David Carson

Europe can now play the role on the international stage that its economic weight entitles it to.
