Looking back I think I was always musical. My dad was very musical and I think my mom was musical.

I've always been inspired by artists who have shown musical and intellectual curiosity and the courage to take risks.

I definitely wasn't cool in high school. I really wasn't. I did belong to many of the clubs and was in leadership on yearbook and did the musical theater route so I had friends in all areas. But I certainly did not know what to wear did not know how to do my hair all those things.

I would like to do a musical if I could find a cool one. A song-and-dance role is closer to me personally than other characters I play.

I'm glad you asked that question because of any musical situation I've been in the communication feels great here with Russell. He really pays close attention to what I'm doing because he cares.

Change is growth. For me it has been a very spiritual and musical rebirth.

No change in musical style will survive unless it is accompanied by a change in clothing style. Rock is to dress up to.

My parents were what I like to call proper musical fans. Lots of Sondheim was played in the car.

I think that if I had grown up and had been in show business and the movies twenty five thirty years earlier I think I would have made a lot more musical movies.

By 1969 when I celebrated 45 years in the music business I also had 45 people in our musical family.
