Each Character I Play Has

It Is An Ancient Need To Be Told Stories. But The Story Needs A Great Storyteller. Thanks For All Of It, Jo.

I Have Every Sympathy For Writers. It's A Mystery To Me What They Do. I Can Edit. I Can Cross Out And Say, 'i'm Not Saying That' Or, 'how About We Move This To Here? Wouldn't That Make That Bit Of The Story Better?' But Where Any Of It Comes From Is Beyond Me. I Will Never Write A Play Or A Novel.

I Do Take My Work Seriously And The Way To Do That Is Not To Take Yourself Too Seriously.

I Have A Photograph At Home Of Fred Astaire From The Knees Down With His Feet Crossed. It's Kind Of Inspiring Because It Reminds Me His Feet Were Bleeding At The End Of Rehearsals. Yet When You Watch Him, All You See Is Freedom. It's A Reminder Of What The Job Is About In General, Not Just Being In Musicals.

Each Character I Play Has Different Dimensions. I'm Not Interested In Words That Pull Them Together.
