I really prefer the actual experience of being onstage and living the character from beginning to end with the energy of the audience. There's nothing that beats that feeling, and yet I really have trouble with the eight shows a week.

For me, making the show work was getting belly laughs - like most variety artists. But the straight actor believes you fix your performance in rehearsal and that's it.

I love the stage - the fact that you only have one take to get it right, the interaction with the audience, and how every show is different even though you're doing the same thing.

Ed is very sexy because his emotions are really there - not forced.

I used to be more involved with every aspect of everything onstage. I'm way more relaxed now. It feels like anything can happen.

I'm as anxious as any viewer would be to see what Temple is going to do next. All I know is that in the second half of the season, he's going to have more sexual tension developing. And it's a great cast - they're all Broadway actors except for me. I aspire to that.

I love stage actors. There's something special about all people who have to do a performance eight shows a week, and musical people, especially, are so much fun.

I'm happy with the way everyone presents themselves onstage.
