“I'm shocked at how early everything closes here. But people start earlier. I miss the late nightlife in NYC, but then again I sing and burn so much energy in the show that it's probably good - I get to go home and sleep.”
“What I like about cooking is that, so long as you follow the recipe exactly, everything always turns out perfect. Itâ€™s too bad thereâ€™s no recipe for happiness. Happiness is more like pastryâ€”which is to say that you can take pains to keep cool and not overwork the dough, but if you donâ€™t have that certain light touch, your best efforts still fall flat. The work-around is to buy what you need. Iâ€™m talking about pastry, not happiness, although money does make things easier all around.”
“My body has taught me many things, all of them filled with soul: how to dance and make love, mourn and make music; now it is teaching me how to heal. I am learning to heed the shifting currents of my body-the subtle changes in temperature, muscle tension, thought and mood-the way a sailor rides the wind by reading the ripples on the water.”

“You have to trust your instincts and know that the right question or the right answer will come to you. You don't always have to have the solution to the problem; sometimes it's very interesting to watch somebody go through the process of solving the problem, but it's got to be truthful.”
“I have an older sister named Haley and she wanted to be an actress. So I wanted to be an actress. It's really funny the way that some people don't give kids enough credit for like really being driven, and really wanting to do things so badly.”
“The Internet will not become a money machine until the banking industry figures out how to transfer money for free so you can charge USD 0.005 (half a cent) for some simple service like, say, reading a newspaper article you have searched for. With today's payment system, the cost of the transfer of the funds completely dwarf the cost of the service paid for. ... This situation, however, is what acutely prevents the Internet from taking off as a network for paid services.”
