I find that everything I do is demanding, like Jack Bristow is a complicated man and I do a lot of explaining in the show, it takes a lot of energy and concentration.

Theatre demands different muscles and different aspects of one's personality.

I believe that acting in any medium is the same thing, it's discovering the truth in where you are.

It's disgusting that a Broadway show can't try out anymore, that no matter where they are in the world, there is this massive dialogue going on between people damning or praising it.

The most sinister aspect of Jack is his detachment, his ability to distance himself from his feelings.

The hardest thing for me is not to keep laughing. Jennifer particularly is like a clown.

In our show you have to pay attention and know what happened before. I think it's very intelligent entertainment. It makes demands of viewers that a lot of shows don't.

With their backs to the sunrise they worship the night.

Your tongue holds your fate, and your fingers drive you to it.

God's extravagant generosity toward us compels us to be extravagantly generous toward others.

There's definitely a tension between the way teaching is talked about and understood at the political level and how everyday average Americans think about teachers.

Most of the time, strategies should not be formulating strategy at all; they should be getting on with implementing strategies they already have.

I have never relied on anyone else for money since I graduated, and that made me feel grown up.

It never ceases to amaze me: we all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinions than our own.

Our best evidence of what people truly feel and believe comes less from their words than from their deeds.
