We perform the show for the people that are in the room and then that performance is theirs forever and ever.
Michael UrieCollaboration is when magic is made with more than one person. It's when more than one person finds common ground on the same page. That's collaboration.
Michael UrieFrom an acting perspective, I would say that you should always try to make your own stuff. Always be ambitious about your own projects and always know better than anyone else what you're good at.
Michael UrieThe theater is a place that doesn't always but can reward hard work and tenacity, unlike television.
Michael UrieWhat I think I know about dating is that you can't take back something you say in a date. You can't lie, and you can't pretend to be someone you're not unless it's not going well and you never see them again. It never works if you try to make yourself seem like someone you're not, and you want to keep dating them. Be yourself. Don't embellish. It will always come back to get you.
Michael UrieI would have to say the most challenging thing about directing is the sheer stamina because... as a director, you're always doing something. Someone always needs to talk to you. There are always decisions to be made and every day for as long as the movie goes on. So it's a marathon... You don't have to look nice, but it's all day every day.
