I'm a real pushover for animals.

You know, actors are fans, too. And talent is very attractive to me.

People ask, 'What's the best role you've ever played?' The next one.

The technique's many benefits for actors include minimized tension, centeredness, vocal relaxation, and responsiveness, mind/body connection and about an inch and a half of additional height.

I see a steady downward slope toward oblivion over the next three years. I'm pessimistic. Everything that's happened to me so far has been kind of flukey. I went into Twentieth Century because I wanted to work for Hal Prince. The part was too small according to my agent. I had been doing only leading parts, and he thought I should continue that. But the part was enlarged in rehearsal: songs were added, and it became more physicalized and showy. Then I won awards and got attention.

I can play characters who sing, but I don't like singing in a nightclub or something. It's not my metier.

Nothing makes an actor feel freer and more inventive and more creative than being trusted.
