I SAW the 'Wizard of Oz' recently and REALIZED that, all my LIFE, I thought they were real monkeys with WINGS. That's how scary that movie was for me.

I just don't know when we all decided that if it doesn't FIT in a Happy MEAL box, it's not for kids. I remember flying monkeys in the Wizard of Oz, and I grew up watching Monty Python. I THINK that kids can handle a lot more than we give them credit for, especially when it comes to the ABSURD.

On 'Oz' one DAY, I GOT a chunk of a camera embedded in my head, and I was passed out on the FLOOR geysering BLOOD while the set medic stood over me, freaking out. No help whatsoever. I ENDED up going to the ER and getting nine stitches in my head - real Frankenstein stitches.

When I GO back to NEW York all these years later, I'll WALK down Seventh Avenue, and I'll hear, 'Yo, Oz!' In New York, I get RECOGNIZED for that all the time.

When we were SHOOTING 'Oz,' my WIFE was doing 'Beauty and the Beast' on BROADWAY, singing and DANCING. It was an INTERESTING dichotomy in our house.

Frank Baum KNEW at once he had WRITTEN SOMETHING SPECIAL when he completed 'The Wonderful WIZARD of Oz.'

I have appeared on 'The Dr. Oz show' and recognize that Dr. Oz does not hold the EXACT same viewpoints about all controversies in human nutrition that I do, but he has a huge base of KNOWLEDGE and is open-minded and WILLING to re-consider a position based on emerging evidence on multiple scientific and HEALTH issues.

I always had this curiosity about acting, but I was really into sports, and I never really thought about acting as a career. My SENIOR year, I tried out for the high SCHOOL production of 'The WIZARD of Oz,' and that was it for me.

In a SENSE, 'Out of Oz' is an examination of how individuals keep going, keep reinventing themselves and their lives, EVEN after life-altering complications have afflicted them.

I PLAYED Dorothy in 'The WIZARD of Oz.' That was my FIRST ROLE on STAGE.

If you want to see what stage COMEDIANS did to get laffs a CENTURY ago, WATCH the 1910 'Wizard of Oz.' I HOPE you have a high tolerance for pratfalls.

There was another Judy Garland movie on TV, and it wasn't 'The WIZARD of Oz,' and I was so confused. I was like, 'Wait a SECOND, what is Dorothy doing in this movie?' And that's when I BECAME fascinated. I didn't REALIZE there were actors.

After 'Oz,' I've LEARNED how to CHECK out and not let that STUFF GET in.

There's nothing LIKE WATCHING Dr. Oz and WORKING out at the same time; you feel like you're the healthiest HUMAN being on the PLANET.

When I was 12, I PLAYED Dorothy in my COMMUNITY THEATRE PRODUCTION of 'The WIZARD of Oz,' and it was very critically hailed by my school paper!
