We had a lot of people like that just beginning, not even getting any notoriety... they were just in the band and doing recording sessions.

This leadership transition is consistent with the Board's plans developed last year when I returned as CEO and Anne was named president and COO.

It's an honor to be named the most admired company in the industry for the fourth straight year, and we're particularly proud to have ranked second overall in social responsibility.

I trained as hard for this camp as any before and I came to Lake Placid ready to compete and ready to succeed. This hasn't been easy news for me and it is going to take some time to absorb and understand this. It's not what I trained for and it's certainly not what I expected.

This award lends credibility to our customers' choice of DD460 as the right solution provider to help them meet their data protection challenges.

It's always nice to be voted and respected by your teammates. As long as you keep being the same person you were before you were named captain, not much should change.

It means a lot in that I always felt invisible and I was louder in my own head than I was verbally, ... I was torturing myself, wanting to say things and not knowing how to be.

He was single at the time and totally consumed with basketball, so I guess he didn't understand.

Those two seniors have been the key to our season and both should be very proud of what they've been able to accomplish.

In most hospitals, paging Nurse Flamingo means a fire. Dr. Blaze means a fire. Dr. Green means a suicide. Dr. Blue means somebody stopped breathing. Nothing is straight forward anymore.

Other stores page a fake woman named Sheila. "Sheila to the front" means somebody is shoplifting in the front of the store. Mr. Cash and Sheila and Nurse Flamingo are always bad news. It's what people say when they don't want you to hear the truth.

In Japan, they named a sake after me.

I know that John would be absolutely delighted with having the Kennedy Space Center's press auditorium named after him, given his passion for covering the U.S. space program and his dedication to journalism. I can think of no one else more deserving of this honor.

I'm in the theater because of two plays: 'A Streetcar Named Desire' and 'Death of a Salesman.'

I'm just happy she's been able to have the kind of year, and her team has had the kind of year they've had. Tina desperately wants to win. She loves winning more than anything else. For her team to be No. 1 in the country and to be named the player of the year in the country, it's deserved on all fronts. She's a great kid and, I think, the best player.

I'm very fond of Tennessee Williams' plays, and when my husband and I went to New Orleans in the late 1970s, we saw 'A Street Car Named Desire.'

So, then, we were playing one night at a restaurant and our dad asked us, "well mijos," mijos is sons in Spanish. He said, "If we're going to do this, we need to have a name." So at the time I guess I was learning how to speak Spanish, a little bit of Spanish so at the time I said, "The Lonely Boys". And then I said, "Los is 'the', so, Los Lonely Boys." And then it just stuck and that was it ever since.

I named it the Zen Fencing Academy for my hero, a gentleman by the name of Joe Odom, who sadly passed away last year. He was my role model as a fencer and as an instructor. He founded a club in Pittsburgh, Fencers For Fun, as a method of keeping kids off the streets. He always came to (Indiana University of Pennsylvania) to help us out because we didn't have a coach. We always referred to him as the 'Zen master of fencing'. He was that wise old Pat Morita kind of character.

I named it that because more or less each person from the band used to play in other bands and when we left respective bands other members from those bands all sort of changed round. It was a big sort of move thing. I got it from that, I suppose.

I once knew a man named Barry. I always thought his name was short for 'Barfly'.

I had a dog named Oliver with severe separation anxiety. He couldn't be alone... so I had to bring him wherever I went.
