Chita Rivera

After about 15 minutes, you feel that you're winning them over.

Mother never said to me, 'Stay out of trouble.' She didn't have to!

You can feel whether an audience is tightened up and pulled back. Of course the opposite is an audience like we've been having in LA, which is fabulous.

It's communication - that's what theatre is all about.

I have to make this love affair believable enough. It's very European.

I've never been bored in live theater.

I'm very competitive. I do like to win.

I have a very young outlook.

Outside of my own home, England is my second home.

Somebody told me once I wasn't Latin enough, and that made me laugh.

I'm not comfortable with just me, me, me. That's boring.

Why not travel, why not see the rest of the world, why not experience life? It's beautiful! Phenomenal!
