For a country that makes such a fuss about love on the 14th of February, America has a funny way of showing it on the other 364 days of the year.
The first of April is the day we remember what we are the other 364 days of the year.
We spend 364 days a year surrounded by people who kind of are our family, but we never really get to meet them or break through with them.
I cook 364 days of the year. The one day I don't? Thanksgiving.
I don't like time off - I would prefer to act maybe 364 days a year.
I think if human beings had genuine courage, they'd wear their costumes every day of the year, not just on Halloween. Wouldn't life be more interesting that way? And now that I think about it, why the heck don't they? Who made the rule that everybody has to dress like sheep 364 days of the year? Think of all the people you'd meet if they were in costume every day. People would be so much easier to talk to - like talking to dogs.
Spend the next few days preparing for the year ahead: Forgive everyone, let go of everything, let God take charge.
Amen.
Someone once said that there are probably seven naturally good singing days in a year-and those are days you won't be booked. What we must learn is how to sing through all the other days.
There's nothing I like better than going to my apartment, closing the door, cooking my little dinner for one and just tuning out. My apartment really is my haven. It's a nest where I go to heal.
Doing a musical is not just acting. It's total theater. When you have to justify the enormous projection of energy it takes to just go into song and dance, you realized why it's such a humbling experience every time you go into a show.
If all I did was pretend I was Wilderness Jimmy, I would go stale. You know, I fish maybe 100 days of the year and bird-hunt, but if I didn't go to Paris once or twice a year, I'd be crazy.
I think you should be a fan of something first if you intend to spend your life around it. You're going to have days when things don't go your way at the track. On those days, you just have to realize they happen to everybody in his sport and basically just suck it up.
I had a client who was a professional baseball player once, and he would go to clubs and dance for seven, eight, nine hours at a time. He wouldn't drink, he wouldn't take drugs - he just danced because he had so much physical energy; he was this amazing athlete.
The religion of which you are a part is 7 days a week. It isn't just Sunday, it isn't the block plan, it isn't just 3 hours in church, it isn't just the time you spend in Seminary - it's all the time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
When I go to dance clubs, I always dance with big girls, so we finish at the same time.
People are idiots. Including me. Everyone is an idiot, not just the people with the low SAT scores. The only difference is that we're idiots about different things at different times. No matter how smart you are, you spend much of your day being an idiot.
