Our job, you know, in the entertainment profession is to try to illuminate and show people all sides of humanity, and it doesn't just mean that you can only do movies that are only about the good parts of us. You have to be able to eliminate the bad parts.

It takes stamina to get up like an athlete every single night, seven to eight performances a week, 20 weeks in a row.

I think young people, if they are feeling like they are confused, need to know that there are people to talk to and that there are places they can go and not feel alone.
