| My mother was an artist and highly strung, whereas my father was much calmer. |
| The regrets of yesterday and the fear of tomorrow can kill you. |
| You see, that's another thing that my parents gave me: an enormously great sense of humor. |

| Initially, I wanted to be an ice skater, but then when I was 13 I saw Bye Bye Birdie, and that was it - I wanted to be on Broadway. |
| I feel like I haven't done my best work yet. |
