Some people have jobs where other people don’t clap for them. I don’t understand that.

Don't wait for people to tell you who you are. Show them.

I think it's good to have an old fashioned musical as well as new musicals. There's a lot of room for different shows.

I didn't love stickers and unicorns and stuff, but just if I were to ride on the back of a beast to work, I want it to be a frickin' unicorn.

I learned to stop saying yes because I then have to back out. I've been trying to prioritize my health.

I think there's that weird bastardization where musical theatre actors are treated as almost like vaudevillians or circus performers - that we're somehow not good actors because we sing and dance.

Being in front of a live audience again. I get that in my concerts but there's nothing like being on Broadway.

I'm not a big weird eater-of-things. I mean honestly I would say like for me, like escargot or sweetbreads is the weirdest thing I've eaten. But I haven't eaten like bugs or... not that I know of.

I try to give the appearance that I have it all together and that I know what I'm talking about, but at the end of the day, I think I might be full of crap.

My biggest influence is someone I really don't know at all: Tina Fey. Smart, funny, beautiful, self-deprecating, also a mom and a wife.

I haven't been trying to be anything other than myself.

Pale Death with impartial tread beats at the poor man's cottage door and at the palaces of kings.

The greatest general is he who makes the fewest mistakes.

I can’t let you go now. I want to go places with you; obscure little places, just to be able to say: here I came with her.

I don't want to be remembered as 'the son of Bruce Lee'.

If you can not win, make the enemy pay a steep price for victory

From nothing else but the brain come joys, delights, laughter and sports, and sorrows, griefs, despondency, and lamentations

Oh how beautiful to fall to give you flight, to die to give you life, to rest under your sky; and in your enchanted land forever sleep.

Because we are a conglomerate of our experiences - you take away any experience and you take away a piece of identity. You take away a piece of identity and we don't really know who we are.

People talk to me a lot about, "Why don't you ever rebel?" And I feel like I do rebel. To me, rebelling is - is that rush you get when you sing a song about someone and you know they're in the crowd.

Our nation and those of the developed world must offer our own resistance to despot leaders who seek to commit murder on the basis of religion or race.
