Patti LuPone

I am in musical theatre, but it isn't necessarily what I listen to in my leisure time, do you know what I mean?

Let me say I was trained at Juilliard. I have a very high standard. I expect everybody around me to work equally as hard because people pay a lot of money for tickets. They demand the best that we have.

I'm sure there are actors out there who work with other actors on a consistent basis - I am not one of them.

A show is exhausting when it stinks. It's exhausting when you have to work overtime to make something work.
