Everyday has the potential to be the greatest day of your life

You know, you're doing the same show every day, and your inspiration, you have to look no further than the fact that you know people travel across the country to see you. In a lot of cases, this is that audience's only chance to see the thing, and so, that's what gets you up in the morning, and that's what gets you giving your best performance on stage, is the awareness that this audience is ready for it, and here to have an experience, and so in turn are you.

I'm past patiently waitin,' I'm passionately smashin' every expectation, every action's an act of creation.

I feel like style is like accent. You don't hear it on yourself, and then everyone's like, man, you got a strong accent.

With every word, I drop knowledge. I'm a diamond in the rough, a shiny piece of coal trying to reach my goal.

People who don't like musicals like, 'why are they singing? Why aren't they just talking? If you make the lyric feel really conversational, it's much easier for them to bridge that gap.

I think I started writing because no one had ever told me you can write about the things you know in a musical. They don't have to come from some far off place.
