I'm extraordinarily honored and proud when I am told that I am part of the Broadway community and part of the Broadway family. Because, Broadway is a family. And it doesn't matter if you did one show or if you did fifty shows.

I think every show I do, whether I am doing eight shows a week of a Broadway show... I think, that's a show I'll never get back... I go home at night and I think to myself, that was my favorite.

And what I took away from it was how to live in the now.
