Everything I experience influences everything I do.

I'm on the board of directors for Peace Now, which works tirelessly between the Palestinians and the Israelis to create peace in the Middle East and we've never been closer.

I believe there's a common ground in what all gifted writers write. It has to do with their wish to turn darkness into light.

I love my work, I love the people I work with, I do the best I can.

Sondheim is the Shakespeare of the musical theater world.

I've been very blessed in my personal life and in my career and I have never been ungrateful for what I have.

Our actions are the ground we walk on.

I'm active in PAX, which is a gun awareness organization. We treat gun safety as a public health issue.

I'm blessed. I have a 13-year-old girl's eye and a 14 year-old boy's eye. I've been given the gift of sight by people who decided to donate organs. I try to do as much organ-donor work as I can.

But I loved the theatre and I was just doing theatre 24/7 and kept dropping courses because I didn't have the time and the chancellor thought that wasn't a good idea after awhile.

There's not a lot of money in revenge.

Life may bring you to your knees pray. Then GET UP and participate in the answer. BECOME the remedy! BE the solution!

I'm not saying homeschooling will be easy. I am saying it will be worth it.

Valor is a gift. Those having it never know for sure if they have it till the test comes. And those having it in one test never know for sure if they will have it when the next test comes.

That which is not just is not law.

The law is agnostic about truth.

You can't make war in the Middle East without Egypt and you can't make peace without Syria.

A split second is nothing compared to twenty-four hours. On God's clock you're in the middle of your millisecond. Compared to eternity, what is seventy, eighty, ninety years?

When you combine boring with fear, you have fun.

I hated singing and getting up in front of crowds.

Between Clive Owen winning at the Golden Globes and the British Academy announcing its nominations, of which Sideways received only one, I'm feeling pretty humbled these days.
