heart soul faces
Every heart is the other heart. Every soul is the other soul. Every face is the other face. The individual is the one illusion.
wedding-day gowns strange
A lawyer I once knew told me of a strange case, a suffragette who had never married. After her death, he opened her trunk and discovered 50 wedding gowns.
believe desire obsession
I believe that all my work explores the human desire or obsession for utopias, and the structure of all my works is the search for utopias lost and rediscovered.
feelings shapes want
Usually, if I want to just listen to something or sing along to something, I'll put on some Gavin DeGraw or some Billy Joel. Occasionally, if I am feeling vocally in really great shape, I will sing Jean Valjean's soliloquy from 'Les Miz' or something.
sunday play company
I would love to play Bobby in 'Company.' Also, I would love to play George in 'Sunday.'
art thinking average
As an artist, I think you always have to take care of yourself as a person probably even more than the average person because your body is so important to your art.
teacher exercise voice
I have a half an hour warm-up I do that my voice teacher gave me. I exercise at least for an hour during the day. I don't have any superstitious rituals or anything like that.
running morning three
I was completely unhealthy, obese, so I committed to running three miles every morning for six months and following a strict diet, and 100 pounds came off.
growing-up bass way
I will sing whatever I'm given to sing. Growing up, I would sing anything that I was given. If the choir needed a first tenor, I would sing first tenor. If they needed a bass, I would sing bass. Throughout my life, I just figured out ways to hit notes I needed to hit.
flames broadway saws
'Tommy' was the first show I ever saw on Broadway. I was 14. It wasn't 'the show' that started that flame in me or anything, but it did excite me in a way no other show had. I'd never seen a show so brilliantly cast and directed.
pounds lost theater
I lost 100 pounds and embraced theater and music as what I was going to make for the rest of my life.
christianity raised knows
I was raised Jewish. I didn't know anything about Christianity.
song lines forgotten
I've forgotten lines all the time. Sometimes I switch verses in a song. It's just hard not to when you're doing the same thing all the time.
growing-up growing
My favorites growing up were always Billy Joel, Michael Jackson... and Placido Domingo.
