Theatre and opera were always the twin kingdoms that I felt I had to conquer, because they were my parents' favorites.

I give so much of myself to my work; I want to be with people who are going to be there with me.

I am always looking for what piece, what artists, what playwrights, what directors, what subject matter is going to catalyze an audience.

In Cleveland there is legislation moving forward to ban people from wearing pants that fit too low. However, there is lots of opposition from the plumber' union.

At the insistence of the Bush administration, Congress in 2006 passed legislation that required the Postal Service to prefund, over a 10-year period, 75 years of future retiree health benefits.

There's never been anything I didn't love that I didn't connect with on a personal level because, to some degree, I projected upon it.
