“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.

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.

Our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children’s future. And we are all mortal.

Anger will never disappear so long as thoughts of resentment are cherished in the mind.

Friends, they cherish one another’s hopes. They are kind to one another’s dreams.

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