I made my drama teacher cry. I only took drama to get out of writing papers in English and the teacher was this thespian Broadway geek and here I was this Italian guy from Staten Island and I would put her in tears.

I don't like Tommy on Broadway at all. I like the music I'm pleased with Pete's success but I don't like what they've done to it.

I think the thing's that perhaps sad really is that younger people haven't come in and I think it must have been absolutely fantastic to have worked in the 50's when you had all of the great Broadway composers and when West Side Story didn't win the Tony Award.

There is only one thing I respect in so-called Broadway actors... and that is their competitive sense.

Broadway is such a diverse community. Everybody knows how I believe and everyone believes and it's not a big deal. But in Hollywood if you talk about politics - especially if you're a Republican - or spirituality it's just not something people want to hear about.

I sing a mixture of everything from opera folk music Broadway. It's a mix of things.

I always always meant to be on stage. I only ended up even auditioning for television and movies because I was understudying a Turgenev play on Broadway and was so broke that when I got a mini-series I had to take it and was so ashamed because I was such a snob.

I don't stop. It's my nature. People have to tell me to slow down. I plan on playing every role on Broadway. I want to do 'Evita.' I want to do 'Sweeney Todd' with Chris Colfer. We want to do 'Wicked.' I'll be Elphaba and he wants to play 'Guy-linda.' I want to do movies make music. 'Glee' is only the beginning.

The only reason anyone goes to Broadway is because they can't get work in the movies.

I would also like to act once in a while but not get up every morning at 5:30 or six o'clock and pound into the studio and get home at 7:30 or eight o'clock at night or act over and over and over every night on Broadway either.

I've done some TV and I've done a lot of theater obviously and the last character I played on Broadway was a very fast-talking broad. I'm used to learning material and words.

I really feel confident about my dancing now so I hope there could be a place for me in the West End or on Broadway - maybe a musical maybe my own show.

When I was on Broadway I got really sick with walking pneumonia. I decided not to take my health for granted anymore and make it a priority. The great thing is the pounds just started to fall off.

A month before graduation I got an off-Broadway job. Then I did some commercials including one for MCI. You can only see half of me but it paid well. Thank God for commercials.

We are living in the excesses of freedom. Just take a look at 42nd Street and Broadway.

The hope is they would like to bring it to Broadway next year so we'll see that's to come in the end of the finance year and everybody else and also real estate and what theaters are available at the time but I would like to come back with it.

I'm doing a new musical on Broadway which opens in October called 'The Boy from Oz ' where I play Peter Allen. For those of you who don't know he became first famous in America for marrying Liza Minelli.

If you get into a Broadway show and it doesn't work you're a failure. And if it does work you may be stuck for who knows how long. It just doesn't sound great to me!

I've been blessed by doing classic plays on Broadway which was one of my great dreams forever.

When I was on Broadway when I was little I remember always driving through Times Square with my dad to the theater. Now when I go back you can't even drive on Broadway in the 40s. New Times Square is too touristy to me.

I came from somewhat of a musical family. I had an uncle on Broadway. My dad kind of knows how to play instruments. Although I always find it annoying when he does play an instrument.

Every night half an hour before curtain up the bells of St. Malachy's the Actors' Chapel on New York's 49th Street peal the tune of 'There's No Business Like Show Business.' If you walk the streets of the theatre district before a show and see the vast enthusiastic lines it sounds like a calling: there is certainly no place like Broadway.

Maybe I'm old-fashioned. But I remember the beauty and thrill of being moved by Broadway musicals - particularly the endings of shows.

The fact that I even get in Broadway shows is to me still amazing but then to win a Tony was just incredible.
