I'm not much of a famous-person friend. I've hung out with Brooke Shields and I don't think I've ever seen that kind of pure face recognition, but I keep a low profile.

I'm married but the special man is my dog, Henry.

Comedy's been really liberating for me because I've been able to sneak the singing part in through the back door.

I love people who try to keep the world in control - because the world is inherently not in control.

I always loved comedy but I didn't start formally until I was in college.

I'm very social, and in a place like New York, even if you're alone on the subway, you never feel lonely.

It's fun to watch a true-blue movie star at work. They're really unbelievably charismatic. They understand camera angles.

Losing yourself in the character opens you up in a way that no amount of precise preparation can.

You know, once somebody knows you can sing Elphaba, it's like being able to sing Evita - people shut up about it already.

I like playing the same person over and over again. I've done shows for over a year on Broadway, and I never get bored.

There are different kinds of actors, and movie actors tend to be exceedingly precise and mechanical in a way that's really admirable for me to watch. You always learn from them.

Life is neither hard nor easy, life is life. Understanding this will help you endure every life situation, for life is neither hard nor easy, life is simply life.

My plan is to continue teaching many more years than the 32 years I've already enjoyed and continue writing, and promoting my books and websites if it's God will.

Lord keep us from all evil so that our lives will be free of pain.

...my dreams are tangled in images of stars and clouds and firelight - we go camping at night - it's my lucid dream of being with you...

Don't buy the toys that make the noise!

May your marriage bring you all the exquisite excitements a marriage should bring, and may life grant you also patience, tolerance, and understanding.

It’s interesting how people try to redefine God to their liking. They bring him down to their level so they can understand him, then they reject him because he is too much like them.

Smiling in Heaven isn't required - it's inevitable.

Sometimes in writing you have difficult periods and then other times it just flows.

More can I bear than you dare execute.
