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

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.

When you look at someone good like J.J. Abrams who gives you the spectacle and great action set pieces but also gives you character and great story and plotting and narrative, I think it's my job - and my intention - to do both.

The industry should take comfort in knowing that WinStar is my main focus after my faith and family.

I have a passion for not only my own kids but just kids in general.

There are two ways to look at my publishing career. One is that I'm a novelist churning out books, who is eight into a series; the other way is that I'm a cartoonist, just starting out. Most cartoonists have long careers: Charles Schulz drew Peanuts for 50 years.

I try to hurt myself, to sprain something, writing every novel and story, because I'm stretching for something new and difficult that I haven't done before.

Action shouldn't just be seeing all those crashes. You can blow up a cathedral; next time you blow up the Great Wall of China, and then what? But when you're in love with your characters, the smallest action becomes an important action.

I think documentary filmmakers need as much protection as possible under journalist's privilege. How else is the public to know what is going on?

I just want to keep writing music.

I felt like calling attention to AIDS. I had the AIDS ribbon colored into my hair during the playoffs in '95.

There is no law governing all things.

Mum left school at 15, and after a few years of modelling and dating jazz musicians, was married by 21 to my father, Mike Taylor, a journalist on the 'Daily Mirror.' They had my brother and me pretty quickly and had split up by the time I was two. I don't really have any memories of them as a couple.

People who live together naturally catch the looks and air of one another and without having one feature alike, they contract a something in the whole countenance which strikes one as a resemblance.

You can actually have a pitch button, you know, to get people on pitch.

The idiotic industry of an ant building his hill in the path of a glacier, and imagining that he is free.

My friends always said that I should be a comedienne - I was named my class clown.

The wise man does not expose himself needlessly to danger since there are few things for which he cares sufficiently but he is willing in great crises to give even his life knowing that under certain conditions it is not worthwhile to live.

The real glory is being knocked to your knees and then coming back. Thats real glory. Thats the essence of it.

Give news a little more time, and don't request that they also, in their news time, entertain. We're not entertainers. We're journalists. And we need more time to do our job well.

The first PC that I actually bought myself was a Toshiba Papman in 1985. This model was one of the very first laptops; I remember that it was a revolution at the time!

Studying literature at Harvard is like learning about women at the Mayo clinic.

We have a tenacity and a persistence and patience to stay after it and stay after it and stay after it.

I don't want to be typecast as a heroine who does a certain kind of cinema, which is why I experiment with the types of films that I do. But yes, I won't deny that romantic love stories or romantic comedies are what I enjoy doing the most, because as an audience those are the kind of films that I like watching.

Ornette Coleman is a real musician. He takes all of the things he's thinking about in the world - which is a whole universe upon universe - and translates this into music.

Art is a critical component in a well-rounded education. Art is the level playing field - no matter how rich or poor, tall or short, pretty or ugly to the bone, if you can draw, you can find personal fulfillment and build self-confidence. Art is the highest achievement of mankind.
