It's really important to me to keep growing and keep finding new things.

And, I'd never done Tennessee Williams, and I had done Broadway musicals, so it was a challenge.

Now my way of doing it is I always get disappointed, but there's always a level of high quality.

I like to know where I'm going to be at seven o'clock.

I don't like sitting around sets - I don't like the unpredictability of it.

The truth of the matter is I stayed in L.A. raising my children, and when they went to college, I packed my bags along with them and came to New York and looked for parts in the theatre, because that's always what I preferred doing.

I don't like to cry in public, unless I'm getting paid for it.

Here's probably a short answer - I never feel in this piece that I'm stepping out and being Andrea Martin. I always feel like I'm Golde, so whatever Golde would do within those realms, that's what I would do.

For pragmatic reasons, I love the routine. I love the structure of it. I love knowing that my days are free. I know where I'm going at night. I know my life is kind of orderly. I just like that better.

I'm sick of the treadmill.

When I started out in Canada, I did a lot of voice-overs and commercials.

I love the comradery of doing theatre that you don't get in film.

Oh yeah, I'm about to host the Genies, which are the Canadian Academy Awards.

Here's the thing: I did one episode of Deep Space Nine, and I loved everybody that I worked with. People couldn't have been kinder... But I had a really, really difficult time with the prosthetics.

But I am Armenian and I understand what it is to lose a country and lose a family and have massacres and genocides and everything against my people.

I could have stayed in L.A. and done sitcoms for awhile and will probably go back and do one I hope.

I was stuck in the benefits of being a known comedian.

It's really important to me to keep growing and keep finding new things.

I think probably, the makeup artists don't really know how long it's going to take until they really work with your face and they kind of mold it and build it as they're going along.

Of course it's difficult to turn anything down when Mike Nichols calls you personally.

I really believed that if I could play that character, who is grounded in the earth and the history of the United States - not the kind of role I usually play - it would help me change the perception out there and my own perception of what I can accomplish as a performer.

I started out in summer stock, and that's really what I prefer.

The mind reaches great heights only by spurts.

As a filmmaker youre always supposed to be with your characters in all movies even if theyre villains.

If I don't practice one day, I know it; two days, the critics know it; three days, the public knows it.

Because men believe not in Providence, therefore they do so greedily scrape and hoard. They do not believe in any reward for charity, therefore they will part with nothing.

Hard work is something that comes without saying for us to achieve the things we want.

The older you get, the few slumber parties there are, and I hate that. I liked slumber parties. What happened to them?

A man who needs women to prove his worth is a man wholl never be worthy. A Gentleman finds his worth in himself and his pride in a women.

I remember walking the dog one day, I saw a car full of teenage girls, and one of them rolled down the window and yelled, 'Marc Jacobs!' in a French accent.

Talk about divine intervention. I can't even tell you how blessed I feel.

We have new developing ties with Japan whom always supports our democratic process and economic development.

A good producer brings out the best in the artist he's working with. You shouldn't be able to listen to something and say, 'So-and-so produced this album.

There seems to be some perverse human characteristic that likes to make easy things difficult.

I feel I was born with the music coming to me, and that's not something to be wasted.

Space is the breath of art.

The magnificent army that fought in Desert Storm is a great army, and it still is a magnificent army today. But it was one we designed for the Cold War, and the Cold War has been over for ten years now.

We worked over at that place The Plantation Inn with The Del Rios. It was really wild over there.

The idea of a streaming service, like Netflix for music, I'm not totally against it. It's just we won't put all of our music on it until there are enough subscribers for it to make sense.

I love Jon Hamm. I'm so lucky to get to work with him and work so closely with him.

I've decided to recast myself as Utopian. I like this landscape of the M25 and Heathrow. I like airfreight offices and rent-a-car bureaus. I like dual carriageways. When I see a CCTV camera, I know I'm safe.

It was tough going to boarding school. It was very hard work.

As I've met clinicians in my travels, time after time I've been inspired to hear why people went into medicine: to apply their way-above-average minds (and hearts) to work that's beyond most people's capacity, and perhaps save a few lives.

Coming together is a beginning staying together is progress and working together is success.
