I've sat in the theater for thousands and thousands of shows.

Restarting a musical isn't free.

I never made up any investor. I never made up Paul Abrams.

I'm trusting. I don't assume people lie to me.

You can throw away the privilege of acting, but that would be such a shame. The tribe has elected you to tell its story. You are the shaman/healer, that's what the storyteller is, and I think it's important for actors to appreciate that. Too often actors think it's all about them, when in reality it's all about the audience being able to recognize themselves in you. The more you pull away from the public, the less power you have on screen.

From day one, musical theater was my bread and butter.
