I'm a really good team player. That's what it takes to work in the theater. That's what it takes to work in a band with musicians and writers.

I just want to continue to produce good work. I don't want to do junk.

It's not about the fame and the money because if you do good work all that stuff comes.

It wasn't until later when people became aware of my writing that I would hear begrudgingly, 'You know, you really are a pretty good singer, I guess.'

There's nothing wrong with becoming a role model, nothing wrong with inspiring people to become musicians, to become actors.

...there are a lot of successful writers who never even see their work done.
