To transform the world women need to demand their place - which is not equal, but superior.

A well-rounded performer will listen to all kinds of music. I like classical, Middle Eastern, and rock a lot.

A show is exhausting when it stinks. It's exhausting when you have to work overtime to make something work.

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'll tell you what I think in general about people who want to make their Broadway debut that are not trained stage actors. Don't they know, Broadway ain't for sissies? It is a tough gig. You are responsible, physically, mentally, emotionally, for eight shows a week, at the top of your game. It's not easy.

The word diva to me means doing something supernatural with something natural.

I just create, that's what I do.
