In my prayers every day, which are a combination of Hebrew prayers and Shakespeare and Sondheim lyrics and things people have said to me that I've written down and shoved in my pocket, I also say the name of every person I've ever known who's passed on.

This is unbearable how I talk.

I don't want people to sit and process the song. I want them to just let them bathe over them.

If you told me I could only do one thing, I would choose live concerts.

I can achieve that by personally relating the words that I am saying to something I have known in my life.

When I'm on the road with concerts, people ask me to autograph my CDs, but more and more they come up with the cookbooks.

In my prayers every day, which are a combination of Hebrew prayers and Shakespeare and Sondheim lyrics and things people have said to me that I've written down and shoved in my pocket, I also say the name of every person I've ever known who's passed on.
