I feel that I'm leaving Williamstown too early, but I'd rather leave too early than too late.

It's exciting to see a kid at a rehearsal meeting with someone who seems like such an icon.

I feel that I'm leaving Williamstown too early, but I'd rather leave too early than too late.

I had no training in the theater. I did not study it but just did it.

Just go out there and do it. It's not the easiest path.

I've never presented. The logistics of that is a challenge.

Los Angeles has always been on the table with us.

In next five to 10 years I probably would have done my best work, but I was afraid of having another 10 or 15 years ahead of me and feeling stale, so this was an opportunity to reinvigorate myself.

I went into this job to do plays, but that's here for 10 weeks, and the rest of the year I do a lot of other things-the administrative work of planning, reading plays.

I have no interest in directing. I'd be a bad director.

The audience includes subscribers, so you have to be careful.

Sitting in this chair, my recommendation would carry too much weight.

The trick is to have my own particular taste and feel for the theater to audiences who have been used to one particular style and taste for nearly 40 years.

I'll be going to the granddaddy of the Los Angeles theaters.

There's been a big spur in downtown development with new business, restaurants and a lot of loft buying. The buses run, and there's a subway that runs through downtown.

Quitting Facebook would be like partially erasing myself. Quitting Twitter would constitute further erasure. Pretty soon, I'd be invisible. I was never on Instagram or Tumblr, which I guess means I never completely existed in the first place.

Opinions, like weapons, are often made for defense as well as offense.

A novelist who writes nothing for 10 years finds his reputation rising. Because I keep on producing books they say there must be something wrong with this fellow.

We began our 'Luxe Life' and 'Vegas DeLuxe daily columns' not long after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and we've spent a decade bringing you showbiz stories and star scoops. I hope it continues for a long time to come because I honestly feel that all the late nights and around-the-clock hours to be first and fast keep me young.

Of course I want to have a deliciously seductive story on the surface which will keep people engaged and amused, but primarily, I'm interested in other things. It's the texture of any given moment that fascinates me: what is really going on between people or in somebody's mind.

On Memorial Day, I don't want to only remember the combatants. There were also those who came out of the trenches as writers and poets, who started preaching peace, men and women who have made this world a kinder place to live.

I come from a middle-class family, but we are open-minded people.

We have one treasure left the daring after despair.

Unlike many of its European neighbors, Britain shares many of America's financial traits.

You know, ever since man had any notion that some of his other people, his colleagues, could be different, could be strange, could be severely depressed or what we now recognize as schizophrenia, he was certain that this kind of illness had to come from evil spirits getting into the body.

Biography, like big game hunting, is one of the recognized forms of sport, and it is as unfair as only sport can be.

There is only a finger's difference between a wise man and a fool.

Across all religions in the United States, people 18-30 are more spiritual than before, but they don't like organized religion. What sets Birthright apart is that no one's hitting on you to be Jewish in any particular way, and you can define Jewish any way you want.

I believe in the power of intention to change the landscape of our society - and it is my intention to live an authentic life of compassion and integrity and action. Jamey Rodemeyer's life changed mine.

Mundra Port remains committed towards setting up of world-class port infrastructure and facilities in India.

If aliens are really hanging out in our 'hood, it's hard to imagine any other fact more worthy of study. If not, then why does such a large fraction of the populace insist on believing they're here?

And in times and places where there was not much persecution, people could become and continue Christians who neither were nor professed to be very devoted persons.

When there is an influenza threat, drop everything and focus on risks from influenza pandemics. When SARS spreads, focus on unknown respiratory diseases. This approach helps to quell public concern, but it's a hugely inefficient way to deal with future risks.

I fear that many a man's good resolutions only need the ordinary fire of daily life to make them melt away. So, too, with fine professions and the boastings of perfection which abound in this age of shams.

My father comes from a generation of film that actors my age don't even know about, which is really sad.

Work hard. Dream big.

Youth is the time of getting, middle age of improving, and old age of spending.

I will not accept a new wave of fiscal retrenchment, of belt-tightening, without asking people at the top to make their contribution, to make an additional contribution. I don't think you can ask people on middle and low incomes, who, after all, are the vast majority of the British population, to bear the brunt of this adjustment.

All I know is that I have way more stuff that I want to write about than I possibly have time to.
