More quotes by Bebe Neuwirth
Creating a role is an interesting thing - each show or each situation is different.
Bebe Neuwirth
I've seen some very beautiful drag queens.
Bebe Neuwirth
I don't see myself as a diva at all.
Bebe Neuwirth
I have the greatest picture of Ted [Danson]. That was a big caper: There was one person [opening] the door with a butter knife and another person kicking the door in so I could get a photo. He's decapitated, but totally nude. And he's really well-endowed.
Bebe Neuwirth
Kirstie [Alley] saved me, in a way. [At the time], I had a terrible marriage, and I stayed at her house. She was wonderful - just a kind, big-hearted, filthy girl. Somehow she could be vulgar without being vulgar.
Bebe Neuwirth
One of the things that's great about doing a show over and over again... is that you have to find ways to make it spontaneous, as though everything is happening for the first time... to continue to mine the material and find new things.
Bebe Neuwirth
If I'm not in shape, it feels like something is wrong. If I haven't been able to get to class for a while or I've been sick, I don't feel complete. It doesn't feel like the electricity is making its connections
Bebe Neuwirth
Anything that I do, I try to make it as good as I possibly can.
Bebe Neuwirth
Part of the success of the show is that the audience sees themselves in the characters, becomes the characters. The more they inhabit the characters, the more they see
Bebe Neuwirth
The musical stuff I'd go up for was always funny, sexy, tough-as-nails, heart-of-gold characters.
Bebe Neuwirth
I've been very fortunate in my collaborators throughout my career.
Bebe Neuwirth
You have to be aware. Like, I'm not going to do any downhill skiing. It looks like a whole lot of fun, but I'm not going to risk breaking a leg. I want to be dancing the way I'm dancing now for 30 more years.
Bebe Neuwirth
I was not influenced by concerts as a child, but I was very strongly influenced by the ballets I saw.
Bebe Neuwirth
People make snap judgments about me that are frequently misguided.
Bebe Neuwirth
Artists need to express.
Bebe Neuwirth
It's a blessing as an artist to express myself - whether that be via dance, via song or via speech - in so many different ways.
Bebe Neuwirth
I loved Jay Thomas as Eddie LeBec. But there was a point where they [thought] maybe we would live together, and I didn't like the idea of Carla being with somebody because that would make you feel like [you're] not part of the people in the bar.
Bebe Neuwirth
I know when I'm bad, I know when I'm good, and I know when I'm everything in between. I don't have any delusions of grandeur or delusions of failure. In terms of my work, I've got a pretty cold honest eye.
Bebe Neuwirth
Stage and film are just two wildly different animals. Why compare the two?
Bebe Neuwirth
Certainly the life of a dancer is very difficult. The training is very hard and relentlessly grueling.
Bebe Neuwirth
