In not-for-profit theater, you don't worry so much about how the audience is going to react. You want to make them absorb the piece.

A song is such a short form ... that 'the slightest flaw seems like a mountain.' And so every song needs to be revised 'til it's close to perfection... But achieving perfection takes a lot of energy.

For me it's more fun to find an unexpected moment for a character to sing when you don't expect them to.

I liked my father a lot, but I didn't see him very often because my mother was bitter about him. He remarried, and I used to have to sneak off to see him.

The more you cling to things, The more you love them, The more the pain you suffer, When they're taken from you.

My personal life and my artistic life do not interfere with each other.

I was raised to be charming, not sincere.
