Nothing has ever come easy for me.

A show is exhausting when it stinks. It’s exhausting when you have to work overtime to make something work.

I’m sure there are actors out there who work with other actors on a consistent basis – I am not one of them.

The theater is a tough place. It’s not cushioned the way it is in film and television.

All my career, I’ve said this: Critics and producers think audiences want actors that only present the silhouette and hit the points in the silhouette. What I do is too dangerous.

What’s the difference in opening from scratch in Philly or opening from scratch in New York? The old out-of-town tryout circuit – taking the show pre-Broadway to cities like Boston, New Haven, Philadelphia, Washington – has sort of been replaced with the amount of workshops we do.

I don’t listen to the contemporary pop artists. They all sound alike, anyway.

In America, it stands out, because it’s raw, it’s big, it’s emotional. My face is raw, big and emotional. It didn’t work for the longest time.

Sometimes love doesn’t come to us. We have to go out hunting. It’s like pigs looking for truffles. It’s called dating.

I am in musical theatre, but it isn’t necessarily what I listen to in my leisure time, do you know what I mean?
