We were taking collections for people with AIDS in New York around Easter.

Somebody told me once I wasn't Latin enough, and that made me laugh.

Southern California, they have been amazing. They're totally with us.

I've played American, Italian, Greek, French. I've been really lucky that way.

My hairdresser and I found ourselves shopping at Bloomingdale's with nothing to do for days.

Beauty is not everything!

We're going to Puerto Rico, where we're gonna close. And we're so excited, we can't see straight.

The show did go on, but came very close to not going on at all.

I have to make this love affair believable enough. It's very European.

I can tell you where my Tonys are. They're in a beautiful place in my living room, in a glass cabinet.

I'm an old-fashioned girl.

After about 15 minutes, you feel that you're winning them over.

I'd like to get the word out there, the word has to be spread.

You can feel whether an audience is tightened up and pulled back. Of course the opposite is an audience like we've been having in LA, which is fabulous.

You take a plug and put it in a socket, and that's what the theatre is-it lights up right away. You speak, and they respond immediately.

I was busy welcoming a new experience. I had never done a movie before.

I have been very lucky, I have only had one bad experience.

San Francisco has just blown us all away. I also understand Angels in America didn't do well there.

It's communication - that's what theatre is all about.

I'm not comfortable with just me, me, me. That's boring.

Theatre is immediate gratification.

My mom used to say that Greek Easter was later because then you get stuff cheaper.

God expects from men something more than at such times, and that it were much to be wished for the credit of their religion as well as the satisfaction of their conscience that their Easter devotions would in some measure come up to their Easter dress.

Most people outside of America won't get it. It's the Easter bunny. It's another lie and I don't understand why we had to invent this character.

A strangely reflective, even melancholy day. Is that because, unlike our cousins in the northern hemisphere, Easter is not associated with the energy and vitality of spring but with the more subdued spirit of autumn?

And it is always Easter Sunday at the New York City Ballet. It is always coming back to life. Not even coming back to life - it lives in the constant present.

Passover and Easter are the only Jewish and Christian holidays that move in sync, like the ice skating pairs we saw during the winter Olympics.

To a Christian, Easter Sunday means everything, when we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The great gift of Easter is hope - Christian hope which makes us have that confidence in God, in his ultimate triumph, and in his goodness and love, which nothing can shake.

I am very proud of this work because it is more about the meaning of the Easter Rising and its relationship to what this whole century has been about, people liberating themselves, freeing themselves.

Christ appeared alive on several occasions after the cataclysmic events of that first Easter.

Do we believe that there is equal economic opportunity out there in the real world, right now, for each and every one of these groups? If we believed in the tooth fairy, if we believed in the Easter Bunny, we might well believe that.

What do you mean you don't believe in homosexuality? It's not like the Easter Bunny, your belief isn't necessary.

Do not abandon yourselves to despair. We are the Easter people and hallelujah is our song.

'Easter' is a movable event, calculated by the relative positions of sun and moon, an impossible way of fixing year by year the anniversary of a historical event, but a very natural and indeed inevitable way of calculating a solar festival. These changing dates do not point to the history of a man, but to the hero of a solar myth.

'Rapa Nui' is about the conflict in the 1600s on Easter Island. It's about the clash of the royal clan and the working class.

A rebirth out of spiritual adversity causes us to become new creatures.

At one time I smoked, but in 1959 I couldn't think of anything else to give up for Lent so I stopped - and I haven't had a cigarette since.

Between the three, Facebook is literally everyone I've ever shaken hands with at a conference or kissed on the cheek at Easter. Twitter seems to be everyone I am entertained by or I wish to meet some day. Foursquare seems to be everyone I run into on a regular basis. All three of those social graphs are powerful in their own.

But with Christ, we have access in a one-to-one relationship, for, as in the Old Testament, it was more one of worship and awe, a vertical relationship. The New Testament, on the other hand, we look across at a Jesus who looks familiar, horizontal. The combination is what makes the Cross.

Country ham is baked whole, usually with a glaze, sometimes studded with cloves, and served as the centerpiece of Christmas and Easter feasts.

During my life I have heard many sermons on the Resurrection. I can recite the events of that first Easter Sunday. I have marked in my scriptures passages regarding the Resurrection.

During the first 13 centuries after the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem, no one thought of setting up a creche to celebrate Christmas. The pre-eminent Christian holiday was Easter, not Christmas.

Each year in early spring, during the season of Lent, which begins on Ash Wednesday and concludes on Easter, a plenitude of books, magazine articles, and television shows about Jesus appear.

Easter is meant to be a symbol of hope, renewal, and new life.

Easter is not limited to the passion and death of Christ; it also includes the dismal tragedy of life unlived by the many, and all the loss of passion and truth that goes with it.

Easter is one of my favorite holidays with the kids. They get to run loose, and we always have our family and loved ones all around us!
