I always felt that EVERYTHING that happened was INCREDIBLY exhilarating and massively puzzling at the same time. I can even remember, when I was SIX or seven, digging a hole beneath a tree. And I would go into this TOMB, this cave that I had made, and would lie there, meditating, for HOURS.

To any young person starting out on LIFE and looking to make a quick fortune, I have this ADVICE: forget BANKING, but go instead into security, scaffolding, or urban trench digging. Not in a hands-on WAY. I mean start a company.

I think that a GREAT NEWSPAPER is one that PUTS a real premium on digging to get the story behind the story.

I don't want to play myself up as a hero, because it WOULD make me unbelievable. I'd rather settle for people thinking that I'm a bum, but digging my STORIES, than liking me and not being able to believe in my stories. That's one reason I've been HARD on myself, because I want my STUFF to be believable.

Getting MARRIED and REALLY digging in with ANOTHER HUMAN being can point out your greatest strengths and your greatest weaknesses.

I don't think the Internet is necessarily a dangerous place. It's only dangerous if you don't MAKE people earn your trust. You can't TAKE people at their word. You got to do a LITTLE digging and make SURE to verify that you are talking to a real PERSON or the person that you think you're talking to.

I always thought BROADWAY's the GOAL, and then I moved out to L.A. with 'Wicked' and started doing guest-star SPOTS and little recurring things, and I was LIKE, 'Well, this is pretty great; I'm KIND of digging this.'

We COULD IMAGINE NOTHING pleasanter than to SPEND all of our LIVES digging for relics of the past.
