I'm a spiritual person, I'm an America, I'm a Jew, and all of those things influence every breath I take, everywhere I go.
Mandy Patinkin -
Sondheim is the Shakespeare of the musical theater world.

My sense of religion is Einstein's sense of relativity. I don't believe in God. I believe that energy never dies. So the possibility exists that you might be breathing in some other form of Moses or Buddha or Muhammad or Bobby Kennedy or Roosevelt or Martin Luther King or Jesus.
Mandy Patinkin -
If you live close to an International Rescue Committee office in the United States, find out how you can assist a refugee family as they transition to American life. Invite a newly arrived family to your home for a welcoming meal. Listen to their hopes and dreams, and share your own.
Mandy Patinkin -
One of the greatest gifts that 'Homeland' has given me is it's affirming on a daily basis.
Mandy Patinkin -
The gift I have to give to my fellow countrymen and people around the world, the facts are the Muslim community are our gift. They are the fabric of what makes America great.
Mandy Patinkin -
I have no problem with violence, I have no problem playing horrible people.
Mandy Patinkin -
I encourage all men - and all women who love their men - to make sure to get out every year, from the age of 50 on, and have PSA and DRE tests. With early detection, you can have an early cure.

-
I'm in a constant state of gratitude.
Mandy Patinkin -
I always sang at temple growing up. I got a good reaction from Mrs. Goldberg and Mrs. Rosenbaum and the other old ladies.
Mandy Patinkin -
No one is going to beat the crap out of me more than me.
Mandy Patinkin -
When you work on a text of a lesser quality, as the interpreter or the delivery person, you are obliged to try to fill it out as you see so many people do in lesser work.
Mandy Patinkin -
The great fun for me is these collaborators. I'm nothing by myself. Being with these people, whether it's the 'Homeland' cast or stage collaborators, they make you everything you are. They make you come to work. They make you be alive.
Mandy Patinkin -
I moved to New York to go to Julliard Drama School. Didn't sing a single note of music.

Too often, we think that, when we have a problem with our lives or our country, that the way to fix it is to take an eye for an eye. That doesn't help anything or anyone.
Mandy Patinkin -
It's what Shakespeare's mission was - to illuminate our thoughts and struggles and bring about the possibility of getting the most we can out of a day as opposed to least in this brief moment we're here.
Mandy Patinkin -
I belong on the stage. I love how the day's events, whatever you read in the newspapers or watch on the TV, are reflected in the performance and how it's received.
Mandy Patinkin -
If you told me I could only do one thing, I would choose live concerts.
Mandy Patinkin -
Actually, the language in Shakespeare is wonderfully musical. You need to hear the music to connect with the words.
Mandy Patinkin -
Well, I'm not a critic, I'm just a worker. So, I'm always grateful for anything the critics say - good or bad.
Mandy Patinkin
-
I still have the sword of Inigo Montoya - it's mine!
Mandy Patinkin -
So I'm truly an actor who sings, and not a singer who acts.
Mandy Patinkin -
I don't know what's going to happen in life, so I don't think it's fair that I know what's going to happen in 'Homeland.'
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.
