I didn't know who Langston Hughes was till he met me backstage.

I coach young people. I have a group called BTP - Broadway Theatre Project.

If we plant the right seeds, tomorrow will be better. If you put out good things, then you'll get good things back. That's part of our responsibility as entertainers.

People talk about love and it seems like a cliche but it's a real thing - the more love we spread around the world the more it's going to change lives.

So be encouraged and dedicate yourself to your dream and if your dream should come my way one day then we will dance upon the boards of life.

The stage sharpened my creative instrument and encouraged me to go deeper and try new things.

When people come and see my show, I try to infuse into them that they can walk away feeling like their lives are a victory.
