Where every moment is about truth and I think it's a great challenge every night. That's what really drove me to wanting to do theatre, and it's great.
We don't have choices about when we feel it. But we do have choices about what we do with it.
We're hoping this Tuesday that there will be even more people coming out. We are hoping for communitywide support for as long as she is in the competition.
When you're angry, you know your needs, rights and opinions in a way that you don't at any other time. When you're happy or sad, you're not necessarily as aware of your individual stake in things as you are when you're angry.
I really think about the times that I've been through with my husband and all the stuff that we've been through together, and I think to those moments for inspiration for the role.
We can't be friends Cause I'm still in love with you.
Singers like her, Patti, Tina Turner, I revere them when I'm in their presence.
He doesn't make it so complicated but just really allows the lyric to come through even though there's a lot of production going on. I think that's the key and that's the magic, it's making sure that people could still connect with the lyrics while they're on the dance floor.
I always thought that it was every performer's dream. That's the epitome of being an artist, being able to express song, dance and acting in a live theatre setting and really connecting with an audience on that level.
I have two favorite songs. My first is called 'Dance of The Robe' and it's a very powerful number where she is feeling the pressure from her people to take on the responsibility of leading them.
I think differently, I think it's about reaching everybody on every different plane and every different level, and if I could remix the song and do a dance remix, that's great. If I could do a classical version, that'll be great too. It's all just about expression.
My opinion is that music is music. As long as you approach doing a remix with truth, I don't see the dance remixes being any different than an hip-hop remix- it's really a different version of the song.
I've tried that love thing for the last time. My heart says no, no! Nobody's supposed to be here, but you came along and changed my mind
I picked up the Joss Stone album, Josh Groban, and the new Norah Jones. I love, love, love Norah.
