People in China say: 'If you love your children, send them to New York. If you hate your children, also send them to New York.'
People don't know this, but I'm going through a lot every time I walk on stage, which is part of doing theater. That's why it's so addictive, I must say.
I feel like in 10 or 15 years' time our children are going to look back and say, 'What? You were around when gay people weren't allowed to get married?'
More and more, as I get older, people come up to me and say, 'Thank you for all the laughter.' And my standard answer is, 'It was my pleasure.' But that's the truth.
I am not normally a betting person, but I say that putting your money on the American people is about as close to a sure bet as you are going to get.
Every time a man expects, as he says, his money to work for him, he is expecting other people to work for him.
Politicians are there to try to deal with stuff, but sometimes it's both fortunate and unfortunate that people like us have more... not involvement, but more power in the stuff that we say.
Often people, when they're confronted with a poem, it's like someone who keep saying 'what is the meaning of this? What is the meaning of this?' And that dulls us to the other pleasures poetry offers.

A manager is a guide. He takes a group of people and says, 'With you I can make us a success; I can show you the way.'
I always think, when there's stuff that people don't like, I always say that if I have another success, I'll enjoy it more, but you don't really.
Technology is huge; I wanted to learn about it. People might say that's odd, but I think it's odd if artists aren't interested in the world around them. I'm always chasing that.
Music fills in for words a lot of the time when people don't know what to say, and I think music can be more eloquent than words.
A lot of people are going to hate me for saying this, but one of my least favorite kinds of music, or the kind of music that I feel I've so got out of my system, is musicals music.
I'm excited to be part of a movement that's progressing country music. There's always gonna be people saying, 'It ain't country anymore,' but I don't get into that whole deal.

When you're a mom to three children, nothing bothers you. Trust me. Who cares what people say? I've got other things to deal with.
Don't worry about the negative people may say about you. Learn from it and move on.
When people ask, 'What role are you dying to play?' I always say, 'The one being written for me right now.'
When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why would you keep looking after you've found it?
