MOTHER (a word that means the world to me)

Improv is so different, it's such a collaborative thing, you're working with other people, nothing is planned and it's kind of this community mentality, whereas stand-up, you're alone and it was really hard.

We have to go out to see what others are doing in order to bring new things back here. We try to give back to our communities.

We have to get at least two state champions and two others have to place in the top four. If that happens we'll be in a good place for winning (the team title).

We have nine venues that are active for us and the way it seems to work is that the Open comes to St Andrews about every five years and to each of the others about every 10.

We have never seen so many female soldiers. They are mothers. Some of them are single mothers ? great numbers of them. And we are sending them to fight our wars in a way that is unprecedented, not just in American history, but in history around the world.

Whenever the largest online retailer makes a decision, it's going to be a big deal. They're the bellwether for their segment. What they do, others will likely do or consider doing.

We want people to gather, have fun and get to know local artists. Young couples and professionals are important to this scene because they know what's cutting edge and spread the word to others. Once people step into our activity, they realize there's a lot of talent here in Polk County that many others haven't yet experienced.

Orthodox criticism ... is a murderer of talent. And because the most modest and sensitive people are the most talented, having the most imagination and sympathy, these are the first ones to get killed off.

Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force. When we really listen to people there is an alternating current, and this recharges us so that we never get tired of each other. We are constantly being re-created.
