Anybody that goes to the theater, I think we're all misfits, so we ended up on stage or in the audience.

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

I think the way I can sing the way I sing is because of the way I talk to my animals. I hit some really high notes.

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

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'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.
