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

All my career, I've said this: Critics and producers think audiences want actors that only present the silhouette and hit the points in the silhouette. What I do is too dangerous.

I knew when I was a kid that I had a Broadway voice. I wanted to be a rocker, because I grew up in that era of transistor radios at the beach.

I know what it means to have a leading part, and I know what it means to have a featured part.

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

In America, it stands out, because it's raw, it's big, it's emotional. My face is raw, big and emotional. It didn't work for the longest time.

New York seems to be thriving, which I'm grateful for. But I would hope that they would figure out how to negotiate the traffic and limit the pedicabs, because it seems to me that it's becoming a more chaotic city.
