Singing in Yiddish was a great thrill for me and came about through Joe Papp, the founder of The Public Theater.

If you're sick, watch funny movies.

If we can't keep our Palestinian neighbors and Muslim neighbors alive with good water and fresh air, we'll never get them to the peace table.

But I loved the theatre and I was just doing theatre 24/7 and kept dropping courses because I didn't have the time and the chancellor thought that wasn't a good idea after awhile.

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

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.

Comparison leads to violence.
