To me the thing with 'Grease' was that it was the first movie that as a kid I wanted to get up and do what they were doing.

I grew up with two sisters, and we owned three movies: 'Grease,' 'It's a Wonderful Life,' and 'Grease 2.' And you can only watch 'Wonderful Life' in the last half of the year. So I don't remember a time when I didn't know 'Grease.'

Later, I even appeared in a Rock Opera with Richard Gere.

'Grease' changed my life in the most amazing way, and I've had such an amazing life. When things go wrong, you've got to believe you will get through them and focus on the positive things in your life.

I took 'Grease' to play my trump card, my voice, and get attention that would lead to auditions for serious work like 'Angels in America.' But I backed myself into a corner with 'Grease,' and it took me 17 years to get out.

'Grease' was how I learned that I really liked music and musicals and movies that included music.

I know, for me, 'Grease' was one of the first musicals that I can really remember watching as a kid, and I kind of fell in love that that genre.

Well, once I did 'Grease,' everyone was offering me studio pictures in a similar vein - you know, popcorn movie.

I don't even know how many times I auditioned for Danny Zuko in 'Grease.'

I grew up watching 'Grease,' and 'Grease 2.' I fantasized about walking through school halls and busting out in a song. At that time, I was too much of a chicken to do so. I'd love the challenge now.
