Comparison leads to violence.

This is unbearable how I talk.

I did not grow up singing Yiddish.

If you're sick, watch funny movies.

The great love of my life is music.

I'm in a constant state of gratitude.

Our actions are the ground we walk on.

My life exists in an imagined reality.

There's not a lot of money in revenge.

I'm just an actor. I am nothing special.

I'm Jewish and I can sing and I'm alive.

Music is my balance... center of my life.

I'm an obsessive person. I like intensity.

Everyone's entitled to their own experience.

I'm lyrically driven, I'm not musically driven.

I can't believe this, I'm arguing with a woman!

Everything I experience influences everything I do.

Now get in the cartoonishly evil vehicle and drive!

I still have the sword of Inigo Montoya - it's mine!

Who is the bad guy? Is America possibly the bad guy?

My dream has come true, now that I have passed it on.

My mom was a great cook and great baker all her life.

You rarely pay the rent by doing Shakespeare or Ibsen.

Movies were a struggle for me - they didn't come easy.

No one is going to beat the crap out of me more than me.

Sondheim is the Shakespeare of the musical theater world.

So I'm truly an actor who sings, and not a singer who acts.

The time it takes to get something done is the time it takes.

I love my work, I love the people I work with, I do the best I can.

If you told me I could only do one thing, I would choose live concerts.

I love the idea of giving up the vengeful nature that so many of us have.

I think we all lose in the end because we don't get to stay here forever.

The songs I love to sing are story songs, from Yiddish songs to Tom Waits.

I have no problem with violence, I have no problem playing horrible people.

I haven't a clue what's going to happen next, and I can't wait to find out.

I wanted to go to a liberal arts college, I wanted to have that experience.

If I have a tombstone when it's all over, it will say, 'He tried to connect.'

I try to say something about the human condition whenever I can when I'm lucky.

We must not allow the horrific actions of madmen to cut us off from our humanity.

I think it's fair to say I'm attracted to playing characters who are rather intense.

Mandy is not calm. So that's acting. I'm acting. And, and I love playing someone calm.

The real world is far more hellish for all us than any fictional representation of it.

I moved to New York to go to Julliard Drama School. Didn't sing a single note of music.

I would go to war with words, not weapons. I would die talking before I lifted a weapon.

One of the greatest gifts that 'Homeland' has given me is it's affirming on a daily basis.

I'm not frightened about terrorism. I'm frightened about the roots of what we call terrorism.

I have no idea what's coming next or where it will come from; I enjoy the surprise of it all.

As a young man, I think I was in a bit of the revenge business for too many years of my life.

I don't want people to sit and process the song. I want them to just let them bathe over them.

It is a game, the whole ball of wax is a game - your life, my life, politics, economy, hunger.
