| Madeleine Stowe | I genuinely liked all of the cast members very much. Steve had a wicked sense of humor. I remember Russell coming to my rescue, once. I watched Eric evolve before everyone's eyes. Maurice loved what he did, so. He treated his character with respect, down to the costuming.

| Madeleine Stowe | I've never returned to the locations. I do remember certain days more clearly than others and certain locations with a sense of nostalgia. Perhaps one day, I'll bring my daughter to see them, if she's interested.

| Marcus Allen | You know, I think when I reflect on it, I think there's certainly a sense of history. When you have ambitions to play this game, you want to be one of the best ever, and you want to play so well and be so effective that you want people to remember your name 100 years from now.
Marcus Allen |
| Marcus Aurelius | Reject your sense of injury and the injury itself disappears.

| Marcus Tullius Cicero | Laws should be interpreted in a liberal sense so that their intention may be preserved.
