• I know, indeed, of nothing more subtly satisfying and cheering than a knowledge of the real good will and appreciation of others.

• This year, 1.7 million young people will be participating in Olympic and Paralympic sports in their communities-many of them for the very first time. And that is so important, because sometimes all it takes is that first lesson, or clinic, or class to get a child excited about a new sport. This summer, together with our children, we can support Team USA not just by cheering them on, but by striving to live up to the example they set.

• How often you are irresistibly drawn to a plain, unassuming woman, whose soft silvery tones render her positively attractive!

• So many things suddenly made sense for the clowns, for the whole idea. I’d been going through a struggle, particularly after 9/11; I couldn’t figure out what I wanted to say. I still wanted the work to be the same kind of mixture – intense, with a nasty side or an ugly side, but also with a real pathos about the characters – and clowns have an underlying sense of sadness while they’re trying to cheer people up. Clowns are sad, but they’re also psychotically, hysterically happy.

  Hath more in it to tranquilize and cheer
  The darkness of despondency, than years
  Of gayety and pleasure.
