I read a lot of those Single Girl in New York books, like "Fear of Flying," where you could sort of put yourself, through transference, into the Jewish Girl in New York situation.

I stole that from Vito Russo. He said he was a devout believer in Judyism.

I don't think I could ever go to Auschwitz, because when we took that tour of MGM, I nearly collapsed outside the Thalberg building.

At fifteen, it [ "Follies"] didn't have any kind of resonance with me, this show about regret and middle age.

I saw "Follies" again at thirty, and you know, I had this great appreciation for [Stephen] Sondheim's brilliance, his lyrics.

I've always wanted to do something where I aged a lot, went from young girl to dowager.

I wish somebody would just give me a couple of million dollars a year, so that I could do a play based on every little fantasy I have.
