I've never minded being disciplined. I'd always rather have a quiet evening in than go to a wild party. Discipline for me has always been the foundation which leaves me free to fly.

In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun. You find the fun and - SNAP - the job's a game!

I love singing, and I came to absolutely adore it in the later part of my career.

When in doubt, stand still.

I've learned a lot of things about myself through singing. I used to have a certain dislike of the audience, not as individual people, but as a giant body who was judging me. Of course, it wasn`t really them judging me. It was me judging me. Once I got past that fear, it freed me up, not just when I was performing but in other parts of my life.

Broadway is a tough, tough arena for singing.

I always knew I had this voice, but it wasn't until I was in my 20s that I realized I had the power to do something with it.
