I'm a liberal inside a liberal's body.

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.

The places of quiet are going away, the churches, the woods, the libraries. And it is only in silence we can hear the voice inside of us which gives us true peace.

As breath stills our mind, our energies are free to unhook from the senses and bend inward.

You know, I'm cursed with morals. I was raised a certain way. I wish I wasn't. I wish I was raised by wolves.

Of all the London theatres, the Donmar is the dream.

My dad worked every day. I didn't get into show business to work every day. So the fact that most days I get to like, spend really good time with my kids - that's what success is to me.

Of human work none but what is bad can be perfect in its own bad way.

Morality did not keep well; it required stable conditions; it was costly; it was subject to variations, and the market for it was uncertain.

Not every corporation's idyllic.

He [Rubio] is so knowledgeable about this issue ... I'm glad to see somebody with his background step forward and say it's important and we need to look at it.

We have never meddled in the domestic affairs of any state and we never will.
