My life exists in an imagined reality.

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.

Everything I experience influences everything I do.

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.

Remember the friends who stuck with you when they thought you had nothing.

In my experience, there’s no secret to accomplishing almost any goal worth pursuing.

I didn't know I was really alive in this world until I felt things hard enough to kill for 'em...

Imagine what we could accomplish if our dreams were bigger than our fears

I am not anti-English, I am not anti-British, I am not anti-any Government, but I am anti-untruth, anti-humbug and anti-injustice.

I like to hold the microphone cord like this, I pinch it together, then I let it go, then you hear a whole bunch of jokes at once.

One thing will always secure heaven for us-the acts of charity and kindness with which we have filled our lives. We can do no great things, only small things with great love.

When Daddy goes to work, there's a mouth to feed, a point to life and a reason to do things

Certain elements may try to stretch this beyond what it is.
