Don't give up be positive and if you know someone who knows someone at a record company don't stop beating down their door till you get heard. Don't ever say it'll never happen or it'll never happen.

Broadway is such a diverse community. Everybody knows how I believe and everyone believes and it's not a big deal. But in Hollywood if you talk about politics - especially if you're a Republican - or spirituality it's just not something people want to hear about.

My political science degree is always on the back-burner. I took my LSAT so even if I want to take the LSAT again I know what I'm getting into. I'll keep it on the back-burner. Who knows maybe with my popularity I can have a career in politics with a law degree. I think it'll work out either way.

The only reason to be in politics is public service. There's no other reason. Frankly if that's the best job you can get in terms of money that's too bad you know. Because frankly it's not well paid everyone knows that. So for most people it's a big sacrifice.

He who knows how to flatter also knows how to slander.
