When adversity hits, go out and learn something.

You always do that with movie musicals. You prerecord and then you lip-synch to playback.

If you're tearing around in a panic about something, then it puts everyone else in a panic as well.

I'm thrilled in a way because musicals should be preserved. It's mostly unique to America, and they give us so much joy.

There is no greater thrill than to sing with a beautiful orchestra.

Can I give them what they think they're going to get from me? That's always the big question.

If you can instill a love of reading in your children, they will be ahead of the curve at school and in their lives in general. Their imaginations will be stimulated. I thank heavens for the father that gave me that to begin with.
