My Definition [of Genius] Would Be About Being Completely Involved In Your Art Form. So That's Outside Of Sciences. Within The Arts It's About Taking People On A Journey, Being Able To Involve Me Completely-whether You're Singing A Song, Whether It's In The Theater, Whether You're Dancing-if You Can Make Me Forget I'm Sitting In A Seat, That's My Definition Of Genius.
