I try to get that across in the work, to try to, if I'm lucky, to make this world a little bit better for all of us before I check out. And that's if I'm lucky, I don't always get to have that privilege but I try always.

I feel the most alive when I'm singing. I also get to be the mail man for some of the most beautiful lyrics ever written.

I'm an obsessive hiker and I do it every day for two hours and it really helps me when it comes to learning songs or scripts.

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.

There's not a lot of money in revenge.

The great love of my life is music.
