I am the speech-giver for my school's theatre productions and I want to include an inspirational (or otherwise) quote from a Broadway diva for every performance. I have already used Sierra Boggess, Laura Benanti, Julie Andrews, and Bernadette Peters. Does anyone know any other quotes???

My favorite quote by Patti LuPone:

"Remember, smile at a stranger... see what happens. Be Eastern in your philosophy... acknowledge the other person to the right, left, front, and back of you. Let's all try."

It's from when she wrote down her "ramblings" on PattiLuPone.net

I did once receive an autograph from Sierra Boggess which stated: 'Never Give Up On Your Dreams and Always Follow Your Heart!'

Maybe not inspirational, but very true:

I believe it was Carol Burnett who said:

“I only played leads because I wasn't talented enough to be in the ensemble.”

One of my favorites!
