By the time I was 22, I was a professional. A young and flawed professional, but not an amateur.

I like murder mysteries, the Agatha Christie kinds of things where you know that it's all going to be neatly wound up at the end.

I like songs that are part of a dramatic texture, and therefore I like the scenes to be active. I wanna follow the story and that means you lean on the actors.

All the best performers bring to their role something more, something different than what the author put on paper. That's what makes theatre live. That's why it persists.

It's not so much do what you like as it is that you like what you do.

Everything depends upon execution; having just a vision is no solution.

Work is what you do for others, liebchen. Art is what you do for yourself.
