There's something about singing that I just love. It makes me feel freer than anything in the world.

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.

Keep the enthusiasm of your youth and treasure the wisdom of old age.

Bob Hope, Red Skelton, and Eddie Cantor... help us keep our balance.

I do this 'Walker shake.' You got to get knocked down many times, shake it off. Life is about ups and downs, and you got to keep standing up.

We wish to constitute all the happiness, or, if that cannot be, the misery of the one we love.

You're good, you're real good.

I like horror movies. Nightmare on Elm Street is my favourite. I even get scared a little bit watching horror.

Death is a woman, and for that reason she's courageous and just, and never makes distinctions between mortals; she'll crush the ignorant, the arrogant, and the wise alike under her icy foot.

There is danger for the eye in seeing too clearly, danger for the ear in hearing too sharply and danger to the heart from caring too greatly.
