I missed New York. Every break I had from the series, I'd fly back to the East Coast just to get back onstage.

I don't see my dancing or acting as two separate things. I don't define them separately, so I can't say one has helped the other, It's all the same thing. More than anything I love being on stage and performing.

I am just a plain Jew; I mean have no training.

In New York I was always offered the hot, sexy roles. But in L.A. I was offered the plain, dowdy roles. It says a lot about the difference between the coasts.

You have to be aware. Like, I'm not going to do any downhill skiing. It looks like a whole lot of fun, but I'm not going to risk breaking a leg. I want to be dancing the way I'm dancing now for 30 more years.

Stage and film are just two wildly different animals. Why compare the two?

If I'm not in shape, it feels like something is wrong. If I haven't been able to get to class for a while or I've been sick, I don't feel complete. It doesn't feel like the electricity is making its connections.

People are at their happiest if they are true to themselves. I think that applies to their chosen profession, friends and relationships. It goes for your health too. If you are true to yourself, it seems to me everything should work out pretty well.

I've been on stage since I was 7. That's where I'd rather be than anywhere else. Just because you can do a bunch of things doesn't mean you are a bunch of things. I can act. I can sing. But I am a dancer.

Part of the success of the show is that the audience sees themselves in the characters, becomes the characters. The more they inhabit the characters, the more they see.

Anything that I do, I try to make it as good as I possibly can.

Artists need to express.

Certainly the life of a dancer is very difficult. The training is very hard and relentlessly grueling.

Creating a role is an interesting thing - each show or each situation is different.

I am a very complicated person.

I don't see myself as a diva at all.

I'm not a performer who will come on stage and tell you everything about my life. It's just not who I am.

I've been very fortunate in my collaborators throughout my career.

I've never danced professionally as a ballet dancer, but all of my training is ballet, and I am a Fosse dancer.

I've seen some very beautiful drag queens.

It's a blessing as an artist to express myself - whether that be via dance, via song or via speech - in so many different ways.

One of the things that's great about doing a show over and over again... is that you have to find ways to make it spontaneous, as though everything is happening for the first time... to continue to mine the material and find new things.

People make snap judgments about me that are frequently misguided.

Shakespeare feels very natural to me.

When I was born, they put casts on my legs 'cause I had some kind of dysplasia or something. My legs were all messed up.

When you're a dancer who is injured, you are at the bottom of the food chain. We are so replaceable.

Close by the Rights of Man at the least set beside them are the Rights of the Spirit.

I think we need to educate our doctors about addiction.

Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at it destination full of hope.

I was walking along and this chair came flying past me, and another, and another, and I thought, man, is this gonna be a good night.

It dawned on me that acting was what I wanted to do with my life. Nothing had ever touched my heart like acting did.

I believe education in music, theater, dance, and the visual arts is one of the most I believe that as a part of the educational process, each child should have access to a music education program. That is part of a well-rounded education and can provide so much joy, now and in the future.

The day I am not able to fly will be a sad day for me.

Africa is poor because its investors and its creditors are unspeakably rich.

I've been on a team that won the world championship of barbecue. But barbecue's interesting, because it's one of these cult foods like chili, or bouillabaisse. Various parts of the world will have a cult food that people get enormously attached to - there's tremendous traditions; there's secrecy.

An attitude of positive expectation is the mark of the superior personality.

All propaganda must be popular and its intellectual level must be adjusted to the most limited intelligence among those it is addressed to.

I think it's more important to be fit so that you can be healthy and enjoy activities than it is to have a good body.

We're very focused on making News Feed really good, making our photos experience really good, making messaging really good, and creating great location apps. That's the nature of a platform business of our scale. Most companies that are relevant to us will have some overlaps in some competitive way.

Even if you plan a marriage and a family, you are never quite prepared for the reality versus how you imagined it. In a lot of ways it's better, and in a lot of ways it's worse. That's life, right?

I definitely don't like anyone messing with my friends or loved ones. I'm quick to step up to the plate if there's a problem.

DC used to print up all of their pages, they were the only company that did it.

The reason I prefer working with established actors and stars is because they are more popular, and the film reaches out to more people and do well in terms of numbers, too.

I create with my heart, so life and work inevitably intersect all too often.

While not impossible, it is especially challenging for teenage parents to develop bonds with their children. A high percent of them were themselves children of teenage parents and have never experienced appropriate parenting.

There are plenty of examples of people who have had busy lives out there in the world, trying to do good, and written very well at the same time.

Every single diet I ever fell off of was because of potatoes and gravy of some sort.

No man is an island entire of itself every man is a piece of the continent a part of the main.
