Football is a simple game. Twenty-two men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans always win.
Quote by -Alice Ripley
Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little.
Quote by -Alice Ripley
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
Quote by -Alice Ripley
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
Quote by -Alice Ripley
You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.
Quote by -Alice Ripley
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
Quote by -Alice Ripley
There are basically two types of people. People who accomplish things, and people who claim to have accomplished things. The first group is less crowded.
Quote by -Alice Ripley
For me, in the audition, the song that you choose should make you cry. It doesn't matter why: it could be because you're happy, but it gives you that feeling that you're overflowing.
Quote by -Alice Ripley
I sometimes write songs on the piano, even though I don't actually play the piano. I always hire someone to play for me whenever I decide to sing a song I have written on the piano. My song 'Rosa' is one.
Quote by -Alice Ripley
The musicals on Broadway have not necessarily been true musical theater. I'm speaking generally, of course: I saw 'Spring Awakening,' and I was completely inspired by that.
Quote by -Alice Ripley
There is genuine healing in a beautifully crafted musical theatre song, like Stephen Sondheim's 'Losing My Mind,' or a pop music gem like Joni Mitchell's 'Help Me.'
Quote by -Alice Ripley
I have fallen deeply in love with songs - musical theatre songs included - over the years, and this experience has taught me to hear and honor the writer's voice in my soul.
Quote by -Alice Ripley
Any kind of grieving that is not allowed causes a break. In our culture, grieving in public is not encouraged, but in other cultures, it is done publicly. Some cultures have walls where people can cry. We don't have that. We have theatre where there's always the chance for you to face things within yourself.
Quote by -Alice Ripley
'Closure' is the word used for a loss that's not acknowledged - and the habit this causes, physically and mentally, for anybody who is participating in that.
Quote by -Alice Ripley
My Mickey Mouse ears were given to me by a dear friend. They remind me of how I need to be silly.
Quote by -Alice Ripley
I come from the Midwest, from the suburbs - growing up hanging out at the mall and looking at the corn fields across the street. I kind of was embarrassed by it for a long time. Then I decided, 'Hey, if everyone else can embrace their homeland and where they're from, I can do the same!'
Quote by -Alice Ripley
I just think Brian d'Arcy James is a dream come true. I've known of him ever since I saw him in 'Titanic,' and I fell crazy in love with him at that moment.
Quote by -Alice Ripley
When you're 20 and you're in acting school and your teachers tell you that 95 percent of actors are unemployed for twenty years, you think it doesn't apply to you. But it does take twenty years to become real, because that's what you have to do to be an interesting actor.
Quote by -Alice Ripley
Chrissie Hynde's from Ohio, and so am I. If there's a Cleveland sound, that's what it is.
Quote by -Alice Ripley
There were eleven kids, and we all shared a bathroom. It was enough to drive us all insane.
Quote by -Alice Ripley
I am always talking to students and telling them how you have to practice every day because you can't wait for someone to hire you. You need something you do for yourself, something that feeds your creative life.
Quote by -Alice Ripley
'Tommy' was my first Broadway show. Long Pause. I don't know how you can surpass the excitement or get more excited or feel more on top of the world than when you are sitting in a room singing The Who, and Pete Townshend is sitting there tapping his foot.
Quote by -Alice Ripley
'Next To Normal' is rock music. It's a rock opera. That, definitely, has a place in popular music.
Quote by -Alice Ripley
I've always looked to that play, 'Virginia Woolf,' for a cue - as far as any cue I might need as an actor for inspiration or as a writer.
Quote by -Alice Ripley
I would say that Cynthia Nixon is somebody I admire, and Toni Collette as well. Those women - their work inspires me, whatever they do.
Quote by -Alice Ripley
Facebook and Twitter and Instagram are excellent ways to keep in touch with the audience and maintain your image an actor.
Quote by -Alice Ripley
Don't get me wrong: I love having my own song and being the center of attention, but I also love being part of the group and making the show work in a more anonymous way.
Quote by -Alice Ripley
'American Psycho' reminds me of my track in 'Tommy,' my first Broadway show. It's similar conceptually and has that rock n' roll streak.
