People on both sides of any conflict believe they are right, whether it's on a TV show or in the real world.

I guess I am sometimes over the top on stage, but then, that is my personality. I'm over the top in real life, too.
Mandy Patinkin -
We did a different show every night. We'd open a show, and then two weeks later we'd open the next show. And two weeks later we'd open the third show until we had all eight running. And it was just one of the richest experiences I'd ever had in my theatrical life.
Mandy Patinkin -
I think it's fair to say I'm attracted to playing characters who are rather intense.
Mandy Patinkin -
The way I like to work is to attach personal experiences to what I'm doing, so it helps tremendously if I can write my own play under what the writer has written.
Mandy Patinkin -
I didn't think of myself as a singer. I'm an actor who recites words, and sometimes that happens to be on musical notes.
Mandy Patinkin -
In the hands of good writers, you have the opportunity to present both sides of an opinion equally and that you leave it to the audience to listen and then make up their own minds.

Everything I am came from my parents. I don't take that much credit for who I am and what I am.
Mandy Patinkin -
We need to learn to accept and certainly mourn any harm that comes to any human being on this earth. But we also need to not be vengeful.
Mandy Patinkin -
I think Bill Finn's one of the geniuses of theatre, and James Lapine's one of the diamonds of my generation. The two together are a joy!

Isaac and I are going to Israel to ride for peace enviromental justice and a safer world for us all.

I grew up in Synagogue in the boys' choir. We didn't listen to music in the house; only at temple. Then I went to a mostly African American high school on the South Side of Chicago and joined a gospel choir.
Mandy Patinkin -
I haven't a clue what's going to happen next, and I can't wait to find out.

I try to get that across in the work, to try to, if I'm lucky, to make this world a little bit better for all of us before I check out. And that's if I'm lucky, I don't always get to have that privilege but I try always.
Mandy Patinkin -
We must not allow the horrific actions of madmen to cut us off from our humanity.
Mandy Patinkin -
I'm a Jew. I'm fascinated by our culture and our history, by what made us the people we are. It influences every breath I take. It informs and guides me. Without it, I'd just be a vacuum.
Mandy Patinkin -
Music is my balance... center of my life.
Mandy Patinkin -
If you're sick, watch funny movies.
Mandy Patinkin -
Ted Cruz, who uses phrases like 'carpet-bombing' the people of ISIS and who said, after the incidents in Paris, that we need a war president, is using fear mongering and hate speech. As a citizen of the world, I'm very concerned that this kind of behavior is being cheered on by anyone. It only brings more pain and suffering.

As a young man, I think I was in a bit of the revenge business for too many years of my life.
Mandy Patinkin -
My favorite word was a word James Lapine used repeatedly in 'Sunday in the Park with George,' which was the word 'connect.' All I want to do is connect.
Mandy Patinkin -
My mom was a great cook and great baker all her life.

When I was a kid, they used to say, 'Oh man, you don't ever wanna leave New York.' I don't ever want to stay in New York!
