Los Angeles has always been on the table with us.

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.

Sports has kept me on the straight and narrow path.

I believe that Americans should be deeply skeptical of government power. You cannot trust people in power. The founders knew that. That's why they divided power among three branches, to set interest against interest.

Anesthesia is quite remarkable. It's lost time. And you wake up kind of refreshed.

Poetry is the most subtle of the literary arts, and students grow more ingenious by the year at avoiding it. If they can nip around Milton, duck under Blake and collapse gratefully into the arms of Jane Austen, a lot of them will.

Polish comes from the cities wisdom from the desert.

Let's not forget that the little emotions are the great captains of our lives and we obey them without realizing it.

Liberty has restraints but no frontiers.

I was never a Trekkie, nor a science fiction guy.

There is nothing more attractive than confidence once you see your own beauty so will everyone else.

We have two options medically and emotionally give up or fight like hell.

Cooking is the showy side of domesticity.

Growth is never by mere chance it is the result of forces working together.

Dropbox, with its emphasis on good old-fashioned hierarchies, is superb at automatically saving one original of each photo I take, whether shot with a phone or a fancy camera. No loops, no duplicates, no confusion.

I grew up in a house that was always happy, and my family was always music, music. I started playing percussion very young, because I had some uncles who were musicians and all my aunts were singers.

I was a wild kid in high school. I liked to get crazy and be rebellious and go to parties and do all that kind of stuff.

What is hypertext? It is a method of giving a text more depth, structuring it, and letting the computer help you explore it. Links, like we know today - you see some blue underlined word and you click on it and it takes you somewhere else. That's the simplest definition of hypertext.

To all my soap fans out there, my horror fanatics, comedy lovers, I will tell you this: 'Death Valley' is an action-packed drama, comedic, horror TV series that has a non-stop adventure in each episode. It's like a huge pot of Texas gumbo. If you like all four of those genres, then you'll love this show.

Violence is a part of America. I don't want to single out rap music. Let's be honest. America's the most violent country in the history of the world, that's just the way it is. We're all affected by it.

I have no family to take care of and no children to pass wealth to.

There are so many great songs yet to sing.

It's always been a dream for me to play a comic book character.

Delay is natural to a writer. He is like a surfer he bides his time waits for the perfect wave on which to ride in. Delay is instinctive with him. He waits for the surge of emotion of strength of courage that will carry him along.

I don't believe that classical architecture is enough to engage people anymore. They say: 'So what else is new?'

I don't know where my songs come from... If I knew, I'd know too much, more than we are allowed on this plane.
