I think one of the lessons we learn in life - and it's an old lesson, but each of us has to learn it, if he does, individually - and that is that, in human relations, particularly sexual relations and so on, the person you might most trust and feel most comfortable and easy with isn't necessarily the person your heart is going to fall for.

Parents can plant magic in a child's mind through certain words spoken with some thrilling quality of voice, some uplift of the heart and spirit.

And I'm in favor of that because I have a gay son, who's a very successful theater designer.

After I became a citizen, I felt freer to say what I thought about this country, both negative and positive. I think I had been, consciously and subconsciously, biting my tongue in the past.

I'm happy to have my own opinion and air it when I think it's necessary.

I am not really retired, and may never be completely, but I can't think of a better place to contemplate retirement than New York City.

The greatest luxury is being able to go to movies and plays now and then in the afternoons.
