I'm totally Italian, but I'm not a diva. If you could see the way I'm dressed in daily life, that's not a diva. Appearances are so not important to me.

I played the tuba in high school. I wanted to be a member of the marching band. I thought, what can I play that has the most effect? What can I play to get people to laugh?

Smile at a stranger. See what happens.

Sometimes love doesn't come to us. We have to go out hunting. It's like pigs looking for truffles. It's called dating.

A well-rounded performer will listen to all kinds of music. I like classical, Middle Eastern, and rock a lot.

I don't listen to the contemporary pop artists. They all sound alike, anyway.

I'm sure there are actors out there who work with other actors on a consistent basis - I am not one of them.

To transform the world women need to demand their place - which is not equal, but superior.

Anybody that goes to the theater, I think we're all misfits, so we ended up on stage or in the audience.

I am in musical theatre, but it isn't necessarily what I listen to in my leisure time, do you know what I mean?

He would work through the night and sleep until lunch. There wasn't really much else to do. Make something, and die.

For the moment I can think of nothing— except that I am a sentient being stabbed by the miracle of these waters that reflect a forgotten world.

You can always get someone to love you - even if you have to do it yourself.

Surfing is so much work. It's one of those things that I just love, but it's so hard.

I have forgiven all the old actors for dying. A new one comes on with the same lines, like large white growths, in his mouth. The dancers come on from the wings, perfectly mated.

I can tell you that anything that happens in the physical body will happen in the pattern of the energy fields first.

The East Wind, an interloper in the dominions of Westerly Weather, is an impassive-faced tyrant with a sharp poniard held behind his back for a treacherous stab.

In every kind of endeavor, there are ample opportunities for extra effort. Grab those opportunities, embrace that extra effort and transform ordinary mediocrity into bright and shining excellence.

I've come to the conclusion that the core characteristic that separates companies that get innovation from those that don't is a simple word: curiosity.

We are all dreamers creating the next world, the next beautiful world for ourselves and for our children.
