I'm interested in all forms of performance yet I think it's difficult to be as equally talented in all of them as they call for such different skills. At the moment I still feel I'm learning and want as much experience and variety as possible.

For me 'Rent' was all about coming out of myself finding out who I was learning the power I could have as a performer.

I've always loved music but I never really played anything. After 'Walk the Line' and learning to play guitar and having that sense of performing I think that certainly opened the door for me for music.

I had a lot of trouble with engineers because their whole background is learning from a functional point of view and then learning how to perform that function.

True leadership lies in guiding others to success. In ensuring that everyone is performing at their best doing the work they are pledged to do and doing it well.

Leadership can't be fabricated. If it is fabricated and rehearsed you can't fool the guys in the locker room. So when you talk about leadership it comes with performance. Leadership comes with consistency.

Music is at once the product of feeling and knowledge for it requires from its disciples composers and performers alike not only talent and enthusiasm but also that knowledge and perception which are the result of protracted study and reflection.

A screen actor is compensated in the knowledge that millions will see his performance at one time where only hundreds will see it on the stage.

I want to be safe in the knowledge that I can tour and play festivals for a long time. The main thing is that I want a good reputation as a live performer. If I have that I'd be so happy.

A manager is responsible for the application and performance of knowledge.
