concert favorite singing stage
Singing on the concert stage is the freest form, my favorite thing in the world,
advance change halfway mind politics quite shakespeare singing songs stuff throw until
I never publicise in advance what I'm going to be singing because I never quite know until I start. I often change my mind halfway through. I sometimes throw in stuff about politics or Shakespeare or do songs in Yiddish.
singing world feels
There's something about singing that I just love. It makes me feel freer than anything in the world.
beautiful men singing
I FEEL THE MOST ALIVE WHEN I'M SINGING. I ALSO GET TO BE THE MAIL MAN FOR SOME OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LYRICS EVER WRITTEN.
singing thrill theater
Singing in Yiddish was a great thrill for me and came about through Joe Papp, the founder of The Public Theater.
eight later next richest theatrical third until weeks
We did a different show every night. We'd open a show, and then two weeks later we'd open the next show. And two weeks later we'd open the third show until we had all eight running. And it was just one of the richest experiences I'd ever had in my theatrical life.
life
I don't know what's going to happen in life, so I don't think it's fair that I know what's going to happen in 'Homeland.'
guess life
I guess I am sometimes over the top on stage, but then, that is my personality. I'm over the top in real life, too.
breath culture fascinated guides history influences informs people
I'm a Jew. I'm fascinated by our culture and our history, by what made us the people we are. It influences every breath I take. It informs and guides me. Without it, I'd just be a vacuum.
I still have the sword of Inigo Montoya - it's mine!
I have never been asked to be in a movie musical. Other than 'Yentl,' which I didn't sing in.
along came musical somebody
If a movie musical came along and the part was right and somebody wanted me to do it, I would do it in a heartbeat.
center life music
Music is my balance... center of my life.
