real thinking voice
I think that Stevie Nicks is one of the greats. Steve Nicks and Grace Slick and Janis Joplin have the real rock voices, to me.
thinking modern-family wish
I wish I could have a recurring role on 'Modern Family'. I think 'Modern Family' is the best comedy on television. It's extremely well written, extremely well acted and directed.
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.
thinking wonderful performers
I think Madonna is a wonderful performer.
thinking careers want
All my career, I've said this: Critics and producers think audiences want actors that only present the silhouette and hit the points in the silhouette. What I do is too dangerous.
thinking eight games
I'll tell you what I think in general about people who want to make their Broadway debut that are not trained stage actors. Don't they know, Broadway ain't for sissies? It is a tough gig. You are responsible, physically, mentally, emotionally, for eight shows a week, at the top of your game. It's not easy.
craft fact love noble responsibility
I love what I do, and I love the audience, and I love the fact that I get to do it, and I love, I love our craft very, very, much, and it's a noble craft. We have a responsibility to it, and to the audience, and to the playwright, and to the message. I won't ever care less.
felt tony
To be nominated was enough, but when I won I the Tony I just felt relief.
We're not show-business people. We have a life.
best demand equally everybody expect hard high money pay people trained work
Let me say I was trained at Juilliard. I have a very high standard. I expect everybody around me to work equally as hard because people pay a lot of money for tickets. They demand the best that we have.
mean musical theatre
I am in musical theatre, but it isn't necessarily what I listen to in my leisure time, do you know what I mean?
television way tough
The theater is a tough place. It's not cushioned the way it is in film and television.
hunting pigs dating
Sometimes love doesn't come to us. We have to go out hunting. It's like pigs looking for truffles. It's called dating.
italian important way
I'm totally Italian, but I'm not a diva. If you could see the way I'm dressed in daily life, that's not a diva. Appearances are so not important to me.
