"This is what I trained to do, and this is what I love about theater. What I love about being an actress is being able to really look into myself and understand another human being. And out my own self, to shape and form and fashion a real human being--and to present that in such a way that people see something of themselves or their own understanding in that human being."
--Phylicia Rashad
"The stage is where I live and come alive and act out all the things that go on in my life. It's not just what I do for a living, it's my shrink and my love affair. No one in my life has ever or ever will kiss me on the mouth like this lover called my relationship with my performance."
If you're going to choose an Aida song, I'd argue that Elaborate Lives is more popular than Written In The Stars, not to mention it was Elton's favorite.
"It's not always about you!!!" (But if you think I'm referring to you anyway, then I probably am.)
"Good luck returning my ass!" - Wilhemina Slater
"This is my breakfast, lunch and f***ing dinner right here. I'm not even f***in' joking." - Colin Farrell
Your Song is probably the one most identified with him -
Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word has been covered by a lot of other singers -
Philadelphia Freedom was a very big hit -
However, a lot of my favorites weren't singles or hits at all, songs like Blue Canoe, Sixty Years On, Chloe , Cage the Songbird, Someone's Final Song, Blue Avenue, Amazes Me, - the list goes on and on, that's just off the top of my head.
