I'm so bad at spontaneous impressions.

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 in a box is better than no life at all, I expect. You'd have a chance at least. You could lie there thinking: Well, at least I'm not dead.

A dream is just as good, and will go as far as an action.

Through the centuries, men of law have been persistently concerned with the resolution of disputes in ways that enable society to achieve its goals with a minimum of force and maximum of reason.

All we are asked to bear we can bear.

My faith tells me that God does want people to understand climate change and do something about it.

Sure I believe in God and the Devil, but they don't have to have pitchforks and a long white beard.

I sort of have a love affair with my work. Many of us work far too hard and we don't put enough value in the epicurean, sensual part of life.

After everything that's happened, how can the world still be so beautiful? Because it is.

We forget that the world is what we imagine it to be. We stop being the sun and become, instead, the pool of water reflecting it.

A faith that can be destroyed by suffering is not faith.
