To me, movies and music go hand in hand. When I'm writing a script, one of the first things I do is find the music I'm going to play for the opening sequence.
I loved old black and white movies, especially the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers musicals. I loved everything about them - the songs, the music, the romance and the spectacle. They were real class and I knew that I wanted to be in that world.
Antonio Salieri: [about Emperor Joseph II's musical tastes] Actually, the man had no ear at all. But what did it matter. He adored my music.
I started out really into musical theater. So you can imagine I was super popular. I wasn't awkward looking at all.
I came to musical theatre from straight acting, and a lot of my friends have a real prejudice about musical theatre - one I probably shared.

A good deed is a good deed.
The future is uncertain, but that can be a good thing.
Any time you can get a muscle car back, it's a good thing.
I don't think there is any philosophy that suggests having polio is a good thing.
I think good things happen to good people.
It is a good thing that life is not as serious as it seems to a waiter.
I'm having a good time. Managing my things takes a lot of time.
Fun is a good thing but only when it spoils nothing better.
Not many men have both good fortune and good sense.
Too much of a good thing can be wonderful.
Too much of a good thing can be taxing.
The great and the good will decide what is good for us and make sure that we get what is good for us, good and hard.
Life is never fair, and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not.
There's never a surefire good career move except doing good work.
