Sometimes, trying to make a work of art can be very difficult and very painful.
Quote by -Mandy Patinkin
I just want other people to know the kind of joy that I have in my life. I want other people to be able to have fun.
Quote by -Mandy Patinkin
Even if it's a wonderful life, you wanna go somewhere and see the way other people reflect on the world and the lives that we're all living... I think regional theater is the life blood of our cultural lives.
Quote by -Mandy Patinkin
I didn't live far from where Leopold and Loeb lived on Chicago's South Side, so I had heard about them as a kid.
Quote by -Mandy Patinkin
I saw an interview that I did with someone, and I was horrified by it. And I said to my wife, 'This is unbearable how I talk.'
Quote by -Mandy Patinkin
He was a great man. He taught himself how to walk again, to write with his left hand. My father was a hero.
Quote by -Mandy Patinkin
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.
Quote by -Mandy Patinkin
Actually, the language in Shakespeare is wonderfully musical. You need to hear the music to connect with the words.
Quote by -Mandy Patinkin
I never publicise in advance what I'm going to be singing because I never quite know until I start. I often change my mind halfway through. I sometimes throw in stuff about politics or Shakespeare or do songs in Yiddish.
Quote by -Mandy Patinkin
I moved to New York to go to Julliard Drama School. Didn't sing a single note of music.
Quote by -Mandy Patinkin
Peace in the Middle East isn't going to be created by another war or violent act on the other side.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Mandy Patinkin
I'm not frightened about terrorism. I'm frightened about the roots of what we call terrorism.
Quote by -Mandy Patinkin
My wife will tell you that if you feel my hands before I walk on for a performance, you could chill a bottle of wine.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Mandy Patinkin
I have never been asked to be in a movie musical. Other than 'Yentl,' which I didn't sing in.
Quote by -Mandy Patinkin
When I'm on the road with concerts, people ask me to autograph my CDs, but more and more they come up with the cookbooks.
Quote by -Mandy Patinkin
The songs I love to sing are story songs, from Yiddish songs to Tom Waits.
Quote by -Mandy Patinkin
My inner motivation is to make the world a better place; the bad guy and the good guy think the same thing.
Quote by -Mandy Patinkin
The biggest public mistake I ever made was that I chose to do 'Criminal Minds' in the first place.
Quote by -Mandy Patinkin
One of the greatest gifts that 'Homeland' has given me is it's affirming on a daily basis.
Quote by -Mandy Patinkin
During 'Chicago Hope,' I never let directors talk to me, because I was so spoiled. I started off with people like Milos Forman, Sidney Lumet, James Lapine, unbelievably gifted people. So there I was, saying, 'Don't talk to me, I don't want your opinion.' I behaved abominably.
Quote by -Mandy Patinkin
I have the strength from my mother, the survivability. I have wonderful qualities from my mother - but please, Mother, forgive me - I heard judgment constantly about my father.
Quote by -Mandy Patinkin
I desperately want to see the day today and do the best I can not miss a shred of sunlight. It'll be over before I know it.
Quote by -Mandy Patinkin
I think it's fair to say I'm attracted to playing characters who are rather intense.
Quote by -Mandy Patinkin
I have no problem with violence, I have no problem playing horrible people.
Quote by -Mandy Patinkin
In my prayers every day, which are a combination of Hebrew prayers and Shakespeare and Sondheim lyrics and things people have said to me that I've written down and shoved in my pocket, I also say the name of every person I've ever known who's passed on.
Quote by -Mandy Patinkin
I got married because I wanted to do something that was more than I understood, because my feelings were more than I understood.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Mandy Patinkin
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.
Quote by -Mandy Patinkin
I'm on the board of directors for Peace Now, which works tirelessly between the Palestinians and the Israelis to create peace in the Middle East and we've never been closer.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Mandy Patinkin
I wanted to go to a liberal arts college, I wanted to have that experience.
