'Oz' means strength - and it also means courage.

My whole right arm is tattooed in honor of 'Wizard of Oz.'

I did the 'Wizard of Oz' in third grade, and I was a witch.

I loved 'The Wizard of Oz,' and I'm a huge Judy Garland fan, too.

How much cooler was Oz than seeing the little dude behind the curtain?

Playing the priest on 'Oz' was a fantastic experience. I was very lucky.

After 'Oz,' I've learned how to check out and not let that stuff get in.

I played Dorothy in 'The Wizard of Oz.' That was my first role on stage.

Showbiz and churches are the same thing. You never saw 'The Wizard of Oz?'

On a show like 'Oz,' I was wearing Dickies and a cut-off shirt and a gold cross.

'Wicked' gave us a story that 'The Wizard of Oz' did not. Two sides to every story.

My mum took me to see 'The Wizard of Oz' when I was about three and I was blown away.

I will not cut my film because, because, because, because of the Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

Conan the Barbarian,' 'Star Wars,' 'Mary Poppins' and 'The Wizard of Oz' were my earliest VHS obsessions.

We really enjoy entertaining our children with characters. We'll act out all of The Wizard of Oz together.

I started in musicals. My first professional experience was Dorothy in 'The Wizard of Oz' in Palm Springs.

But, for instance, when I was awfully young, I read all the Oz books. They were an enormous influence on me.

With Ed Wood, it was this sort of blending of Ronald Reagan, the Tin Man from 'The Wizard of Oz,' and Casey Kasem.

When I was a senior, I did my senior class play, and that was pretty much it... It was 'The Wizard of Oz,' and I was Dorothy.

I wouldn't call my work Modernist. I would rust if I try to think about labels. I'd feel like the Tin Man in 'The Wizard of Oz.'

I think 'Oz' is the type of show that makes you turn away in fear and in horror, so for a television show, that's pretty intense.

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.

I never went to business school. I was just bumbling through a lot of my life. I was like the guy behind the curtain in The Wizard of Oz.

One year, my family and I dressed up in the theme of 'Wizard of Oz' for Halloween. We all went as the different characters. I was the Tin Man!

I don't like when actors go around and talk a ton about how they approach their roles, because it's a little like pulling the curtain back on Oz, for me.

I have never believed in the Wizard of Oz theory of consulting, that I am all-knowing and all-seeing, and that everyone around me is kind of a backbencher.

The noun phrase straw man, now used as a compound adjective as in 'straw-man device, technique or issue,' was popularized in American culture by 'The Wizard of Oz.'

I started acting as a child in Community Theatre but I didn't do any serious stuff. It was all musicals like 'Annie' and 'Wizard of Oz.' I was always in the chorus.

I don't think there's a part that I've played or something I've written or directed that hasn't smacked of 'The Wizard Of Oz.' It's the film all roads lead to for me.

I was a rabid 'Seinfeld' fan. Then I did the show, and it ruined the show for me. Not that it ruined the quality of the show, but I had seen behind the curtain at Oz.

The first thing I did that was at all in the public eye, other than on stage, was 'Oz,' in which I played the head of the Aryan Brotherhood in a maximum-security prison.
