In a play, a man comes out and says something. Another man comes out and says something. And by the end of the night, we've learned something we didn't know, In a musical, there is singing and dancing for two hours, but you've got to know everything in 5 minutes. Do it in those 5 minutes or you'll lose them.

Never thank anybody for anything, except a drink of water in the desert - and then make it brief.

When I perform on stage, you have to remember my performance or buy another ticket to the party! In television and film, you can see it over and over again.

Before I do a play I say that I hope it's going to be for as short a time as possible but, once you do it, it is a paradoxical pleasure. One evening out of two there are five minutes of a miracle and for those five minutes you want to do it again and again. It's like a drug.

If you have the opportunity to play this game of life you need to appreciate every moment. a lot of people don't appreciate the moment until it's passed.

I love the sense of how time passes when I'm acting. When you're not aware of the clock ticking, that is always a good sign you're enjoying something.

It's awfully nice when people thank you for the pleasure and laughter you've brought to their lives.

When you hear the first five seconds to a song and you've pretty much heard the whole song, that's kind of a bummer.

I enjoy every minute, because there are going to be a lot of moments in your future that you're going to wish you held onto longer.
