I've been compared to people since the beginning. When you're starting out, you need a comparison so people will understand you right away.

When hands are joined, no one can point fingers.

When I look back at what musical theatre music and show music meant to me, first of all - more than anything - what it meant to me was work. As I was growing up, I realized that singing and performing was my strong suit.

Cause even the stars they burn, some even fall to the earth. We've got a lot to learn, God knows we're worth it.

I can't predict what songs will do to the collective consciousness.

Well, my view before was a Western view, and I certainly understand marriage equality and civil rights, equal rights for all, but having visited developing nations and some of the poorest nations in the world, I realize how deep it goes and how much work really needs to be done to create equality for all.

And it's okay if you have to go away Oh just remember the telephone works both ways And if I never ever hear them ring If nothing else I'll think the bells inside Have finally found you someone else and that's okay Cause I'll remember everything you sang ((You and I both))
