doors feet long
I learned a long time ago from David Mamet to wipe your feet at the door, get it out on stage and then go about your life.
mean paris scary
It's not easy being an actor, and having said that, everybody's an actor. Do you know what I mean? Paris Hilton's an actor, which is kind of scary. But if you want to honor your craft and yourself, strive for the nobler instincts.
artist sound pops
I don't listen to the contemporary pop artists. They all sound alike, anyway.
mind band my-favorite
My favorite band was The Band, and nobody compares in my mind with The Band.
mean natural
The word diva to me means doing something supernatural with something natural.
beach kids voice
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.
mean knows
I know what it means to have a leading part, and I know what it means to have a featured part.
new-york grateful cities
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.
rocks stories mahler
My favorite composers are the ones that tell the story. I love Wagner. I love Mahler. Prokofiev. The programmatic music. I listen more to classic rock because I don't like the contemporary music very much.
thinking misfits theater
Anybody that goes to the theater, I think we're all misfits, so we ended up on stage or in the audience.
book interesting wife
The book 'A Reliable Wife' is a slice of American history. It takes a part of American history and tells a story about the purchase of a wife by a Wisconsin businessman. The research of that would have been really interesting.
school play laughing
I played the tuba in high school. I wanted to be a member of the marching band. I thought, what can I play that has the most effect? What can I play to get people to laugh?
thinking wonderful performers
I think Madonna is a wonderful performer.
rocks kind middle
A well-rounded performer will listen to all kinds of music. I like classical, Middle Eastern, and rock a lot.
