“There’s something very special about going through that performance with your mates. People think it’s the bowing to the audience that you miss. It’s not: it’s about standing in the wings with your friends. Being part of a company is a very special feeling.”
RIP Jane Lapotaire (1944-2026)

“I want the color to bounce off the characters, so that it will catch the reader’s eye. I try to bring out the main elements and kill the unimportant details. That gives you impact.”
RIP Tatjana Wood (1926-2026)
“When you write psychologically or intellectually, you have a tune in your mind, and you re-write it. It’s an intellectual approach. The emotional is my favorite because it comes from my kishkas; it comes from my soul.”
RIP Neil Sedaka (1939-2026)
“Frankly, I doubt I could write a non-comedy novel if I tried. That’s not to say I find it impossible to write about serious subjects, or make serious points about important subjects. Though it may be impossible to be taken seriously.”
RIP Rob Grant (1955-2026)
“We had an incredible time making [Revenge of the Nerds]. It was a lot of fun. And I think that the camera records how you actually feel and…the camera recorded that. That was one of the things that made that film work on a massive level.”

“I don’t think you go to a play to forget, or to a movie to be distracted. I think life generally is a distraction and that going to a movie is a way to get back, not go away.”
RIP Tom Noonan (1951-2026)

“Ever since Harold and Maude, people have generally regarded me as an arbiter of weirdness. So, I’ll tell you what I find weird: I find malice, violence and poverty weird.“
RIP Bud Cort (1948-2026)
I’m just waiting for Becky to say “You’re despicable!”
“Treat each song as though it’s going to be the one song that represents you to people. But at the same time, not overthinking it. Just letting it be honest, I think is the most important thing. Sing what you feel. Sing honest.”
