I love the American musical for the simplicity of emotion that gets expressed.

Thankfully I've been quite lucky in my career, but it's always good to re-evaluate things and think about what else you want to do.

I think, in life, being nervous about something that's forthcoming is very helpful, whether it's an awards show or a family gathering or a job interview. If you're too calm and confident, then I think you aren't executing to the best of your ability. So I try not to let nerves get the best of me, but I welcome them because it tends to fuel me to try harder.

If you don't have any ties to the music industry, you just love 'American Idol,' you can sit there and do exactly what you do in your living room, which is stare at them and judge them.

I'm not trying to climb a ladder - I'm casting a bit of a net.

I think when dance is mediocre, it's painful. But when dance is really impressive, it destroys.

We're in such a volatile climate right now politically. I think they didn't want Assassins to not succeed due to popular opinion and politics, versus on its own merits. I can respect that.
