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.

Every book that you read has taught you a lesson, a lesson you will cherish forever.

The problem today is that people don’t cherish good people. They try to use them.

The journey is more important, make it something you’ll cherish forever.

Give yourself credit for how far you have come and cherish and build on those happy moments. 

So long as we live among men, let us cherish humanity.

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.
