I was a Hollywood musical fan as a kid, and I know how rare it is for someone who originates the Broadway role to get to then do it on screen.

When you look at sort of pop stardom now, some of these singers, it seems like the idea of them was created in a marketing meeting, and then they just found someone to sort of fulfill that role.

It's funny - Frankie Valli's story and that advice that he was just getting from, you know, Christopher Walken's character, is very true for someone who's in a creative field.

I've learned to keep my work on the stage or on the screen.

But when you get to know a character so well, you start to have insights that you can't show because you're confined to your script of your hit show.

It was great to play for a live audience on a stage.

I don't have a Jersey dialect. So when I approached the singing, I approached it the same way as an actor I approach a dialect, just as a singer.

I definitely worked really hard to evoke Frankie Valli, but not do a strict imitation, because I feel that a strict imitation is not as compelling to watch.

I approach the singing kind of like with dialect thoughts in my mind. I have to sound like this on certain things to give that Frankie Valli flavor.

I was with you at the beginning of your journey. It is right that I should follow you to its end.

I'm always feeling like I'm lacking wisdom. This reassurance that one can ask God for that and it will happen is certainly reassuring to me.

Houses turn to corpses overnight when we cease to live and love in them.

Poverty is spiritual halitosis.

I think the most difficult love begins with one's self. How you treat yourself is something you bring to your relationships.

You know, Roland and I were just talking about how we don't have any pyromaniac friends. And everyone knows you need a good pyro to pull off any reform school prank worth the effort.

It is when we act freely, for the sake of the action itself rather than for ulterior motives, that we learn to become more than what we were.

If there's one thing that a study of history has taught us, it is that things can always get worse.

In any situation that calls for you to persuade, convince or manage someone or a group of people to do something, the ability to tell a purposeful story will be your secret sauce.

How do popular attitudes get formed? Do the movies just reflect it or inform it? Where does this particular idea come from? I don't know if I can say anything too illuminating.
