“What’s great about [Guettel] is his very distinct voice as a composer. And that distinct voice is something worth cherishing and expressing so we just didn’t want to screw that up.”

I think [Guettel is] probably one of our most special writers now, pushing things in ways that are unique.

[Victoria Clark] is one of those people who has the rarest combination of gifts. I can put her in any classical play tomorrow because she such an extraordinary actress.

Americans like to believe we can overcome all obstacles and always triumph in the end, but that’s not real life and a steady diet of stories like that will give you a pretty unhealthy view of reality.

You have to cherish things in a different way when you know the clock is ticking, you are under pressure.

To succeed, work hard, never give up and above all cherish a magnificent obsession.

It does not pay to cherish symbols when the substance lies so close at hand.

In order to lead a meaningful life, you need to cherish others, pay attention to human values and try to cultivate inner peace.

It’s difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality.

Cherish your visions and your dreams, as they are the children of your soul; the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.

Cherish those who seek the truth but beware of those who find it.

We spend precious hours fearing the inevitable. It would be wise to use that time adoring our families, cherishing our friends and living our lives.
