 Anybody that goes to the theater, I think we're all misfits, so we ended up on stage or in the audience. |
| We're not show-business people. We have a life. |
| The theater is a tough place. It's not cushioned the way it is in film and television. |
| To be nominated was enough, but when I won I the Tony I just felt relief. |
| A show is exhausting when it stinks. It's exhausting when you have to work overtime to make something work. |
| I played the tuba in high school. I wanted to be a member of the marching band. I thought, what can I play that has the most effect? What can I play to get people to laugh? |
| I just create, that's what I do. |
| 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. |
| A well-rounded performer will listen to all kinds of music. I like classical, Middle Eastern, and rock a lot. |
| I learned a long time ago from David Mamet to wipe your feet at the door, get it out on stage and then go about your life. |
| The word diva to me means doing something supernatural with something natural. |
| I think Madonna is a wonderful performer. |
| Smile at a stranger. See what happens. |
| I just love chickens. |
