I am not the we of anyone.

Live in the precious present..

I spent my 30s figuring out how to be a grown up, I guess. I loved my 30s! My 30s were really about being happy with what I was doing..

You can't escape from what you are..

I always sang, I always acted, I always played..

I would like to do some musicals..

When you finally learn how to do it, you're too old for the good parts..

I have seen the future, and it works..

I rewrite everything, almost idiotically. I rewrite and work and work, and rewrite and rewrite some more..

There is so much Everything that Nothing is hidden quite nicely.

We cannot make ourselves safer by making ourselves less free..

When there's nothing to do, you do nothing slowly and intently..

Bette Midler can say four-letter words and make you love it..

It's not how you start, but it's how you finish..

Music to me is life. It's what gets me going..

I keep everything that's private private..

I would also do everything possible to take out their leadership..

The best of Mozart's works cannot be even slightly rewritten without diminishment..

One is a writer, or one is not..

No part of your experience is wasted. Everything you've experienced so far is part of what you were meant to learn..

Once you start on an idea it proliferates in itself..
