I Like The Tragedies Way More Than

I Think American Actors Are Much More Intimidated By Shakespeare. I Actually Want To Do This Shakespeare Play In New York, But I Think It's Interesting That There's This Gaping Hole In The Repertoire In The American Theater, Which Is Shakespeare. It's Hardly Ever Done, Compared To How Often It's Done In Other Companies, Not Just Britain. Someone From The Roundabout Theater Company - I Said, "you Never Do Shakespeare." And He Said, "yes, We're Not Very Good At It." And I Thought, "what A Terrible Thing To Say.".

I've Actually Found - Especially Doing My Cabaret Show - I'm Connecting With People In A Way I Haven't Connected With Them. I've Found That When You're Open And Honest, People Respond To That, Whatever You're Being Open And Honest About. You Could Then, When You Lay That As The Groundwork, Say, "here I Am. This Is What I Think. I Come In Peace." Then You're Able To Push Out, To Be Able To Talk About More Things. And That's Been A Really Heartening Thing About My Life, Actually.

In My First Year At Drama School, I Did This Kids' Show Called 'let's See.

If The President Of The Country Is Not Actually Saying Something, Allowing Equality To Happen, How Could You Expect To Counsel Kids Not To Bully Other Kids? If They're Not Seeing That Their Society Sees Gay People As Equals, How Could You Tell Them What They're Doing Is Wrong? With All This Stuff Going On, With The "don't Ask, Don't Tell" And Things Like That, We Are Second-class Citizens, Definitely. It Just Seems To Me That It's Hypocritical For Us As A Culture To Say, "bullying Is A Terrible Thing," When Really, They Are Just Reflecting What The Society Is Doing.

If You Are A Cabaret Artist And You Are Mostly Singing Other People's Songs, You're Asking Them To Rethink A Song, Listen To It In A Different Way. The Most Impact You Can Have While Asking Them To Re-listen To A Song Is If It's A Song They Know Very Well.
