Every performer should learn a little bit of everything. Most performers today only play the guitar.

I lead such a boring life.

The only way you learn is by failure.

I began as a true beginner, not knowing how to dance or perform. I just entered a local contest in town as a joke, because if you entered you got a free blouse and scarf.

We now have no record of these famous stage plays, so it turned out to be very narrow-minded thinking.

Bobby [Fosse] was very difficult to work with, he wanted to be a big star at MGM, but it was the end of making musical movies at the time.

I still perform live primarily. I just keep traveling and doing live shows. The main difference in film, you know in your mind that you are doing it for posterity, you are doing for the eventual audience and it will be around forever.
