They want families to come to New York and go to the theater, so the theater is all geared toward family entertainment. It's money, you know.

I like the energy of live performance.

I believe in people living their lives and having privacy.

I think so much of what informs us as performers is what we had to endure as kids growing up. I was the youngest in my family. I always got a lot of attention.

Hip doesn't really come into play anymore as far as I can tell.

If I've learned anything in my 30s, it's about holding back a little bit.

You can't just try to be a performer. It's in your DNA. I really believe that it's either what you are or it's not at all.
