We Jews have a special attachment to the Book. The study of page after page in tomes yellowing with age was obligatory.

I have always striven to raise the voice of hope for a world where hate gives way to respect and oppression to liberation.

Although I am deeply grateful to a great many people, I forgo the temptation of naming them for fear that I might slight any by omission.

I created the role of Captain Von Trapp.

Audiences are audiences.

I'm exceedingly proud of being an actor, but I never recommend it to anyone.
