I'm an actor/singer who moves well... sometimes. I'm actually a great mover but not every style fits my body and a dance call back is my worst nightmare.

There are definite vocal trends for every generation as well as accents and I'm not talking about regionalisms.

Think of every audition as a chance to perform and you will have fun doing it.

I was use to wearing things that accentuated and flattered my bust and waist (just shakin' what my mama gave me) and definitely not my thighs.

Try not be resentful or jealous of other people's success. Know that your path as a performer is going to be very different than others. Try your best not to compare.

I initially told people I wanted to be a dancer and ultimately a "Rockette." I didn't really know what a musical theatre performer was other than the Shirley Temple type.

I hardly ever belted; I was a soprano and a comedienne and intended on doing mostly soprano legit roles but my first equity show, to my surprise, was Blues in The Night at The Cleveland Playhouse.

My advice to aspiring performers is trust your instincts, 9 times out of 10 they are perfect.

When you don't get a role, it wasn't meant to be.

My favorite thing to do is transform. The further the character is away from me the more I enjoy it.

I love performing in a good straight play as well and I'm a crossover actor, I crossover from plays to musicals, musicals to plays. This is very difficult for performers.

I do not believe, given her past decisions and comments on the reasons to go to war in Iraq, that Dr. Rice will be able to represent the United States without a predetermined bias from the war.

Little Odessa. Of all my movies, it's the one that I still really love when I watch it and I'm pretty happy with what I didn in that.

Well I think money has been going into political campaigns for a very long time.

We have a master who deserves radical sacrifice.

Writing doesn't come easily to me. It gets more and more difficult.

I don't like to say mean things about people's hard work.

It makes you feel very virtuous when you forgive people, doesn't it?

that darkest of syllables, death.

The further I get away from coaching, the more I know I made the right decision. You almost forget how wonderful family life is.
