Mandy is not calm. So that's acting. I'm acting. And, and I love playing someone calm.

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.

I never talk back. I listen and always remember your every word, so come pen or mouse, never forget that I will treasure your thoughts forever. Yours truly, Paper.

It's human

We shed blood to take the word 'Grexit' away from the mouth of foreigners, and Syriza is bringing this word back to their mouths.

I never thought that Syria and Israel should engage in a violent confrontation because I don't think that there is any particular interest for any of us to do it.

It takes risks to achieve. It's often scary. It requires something you didn't know before or a skill you didn't have before. But in the end, it's worth it.

The United States, democratic and various though it is, is not an easy country for a fiction-writer to enter: the slot between the fantastic and the drab seems too narrow.

That's the position I place myself in always. I don't know. It says follow me. It pulls you right through, just by the nose.

You never play age, you play character.

Dancing - that's really what I do at parties. I dance and I hang out with friends. That's my partying.

If you're not in New York, you're camping out.
