I don't listen to the contemporary pop artists. They all sound alike, anyway.

My favorite band was The Band, and nobody compares in my mind with The Band.

The only thing we are as actors are messengers. That's all we are. Correct? We are delivering the playwright's intention through the concept of the director. And I come on stage; if I feel confident in the role, then I give it away.

I played the tuba in high school. I wanted to be a member of the marching band. I thought, what can I play that has the most effect? What can I play to get people to laugh?

I'm sure there are actors out there who work with other actors on a consistent basis - I am not one of them.

What's the difference in opening from scratch in Philly or opening from scratch in New York? The old out-of-town tryout circuit - taking the show pre-Broadway to cities like Boston, New Haven, Philadelphia, Washington - has sort of been replaced with the amount of workshops we do.

I think Madonna is a wonderful performer.
