Broadway is one of the hardest things I've ever done.

You see, it took me so long, it was such a struggle, to move myself out of musicals - because I had had a success, nobody wanted to allow me to direct a non-musical picture. It was so hard. And the only way I could get it going was to become a producer myself.

I never wanted to go longer than five years off the stage. Not necessarily musicals, but just doing a play or something.

I never knew I'd be in a musical, let alone win an award for one.

I probably never would have been hired on Broadway had I not moved out to L.A. and pursued acting and film, which is sad, really.

I wasn't planning on doing musicals, but that's how I started.

I mean, I've done musicals, but it's not my best thing.

When I first got to New York, all I did was musicals. After a few years I had to make a conscious choice to close the door on musicals, because I was getting pigeon-holed as a musical theater performer.

All I ever wanted to do was be on Broadway. I mean, remember, I grew up in a trailer.

I did a lot of musicals when I first started my career, so I can carry a tune well.
