Personal Quotes
Acting is like a high wire act. Your margin for error is very slim.
I wish I didn't have to live up to anything.
I went to one of the world's great music schools, Juilliard, to acting school and never had any voice training. It wasn't until my mid-twenties that I began to go and see a singing teacher, and I discovered I had a voice, but I never felt very much confidence about singing in public and rarely went up for musical auditions.
