(talking about her success) Whether it's my looks or my attitude or my sense of humor, I have always been controversial.
(For any musical she is in with children) When you look at the kids on that stage, there are generations of musicians represented.
(When asked what is going on in America today) We have become an Unconscious Nation. We are locked into our individual worlds that have tremendous needs and no one is allowed to penetrate that world.
(Talking about her family) We're in a smaller house now and bought property on a barrier island in South Carolina, which is looking more and more insane because of the hurricanes.
There are those wide-eyed fans out there. But when gay people come to the theater, they come with a history and a knowledge of what they're seeing. They expect more.
The word diva to me means doing something supernatural with something natural.
The theater is a tough place. It's not cushioned the way it is in film and television.
Smile at a stranger. See what happens.
My music department in high school had all the gay guys.
It's not difficult for me to drop one characterization for another in the same play.
It was obvious to me as a child that this was my chosen path. I was lucky I had direction from the time I was 4 years old.
If it makes one think, then we've done our job.
I'm turning into Michael Jackson. I think I should wear gloves and a surgical mask. I got sick in our first week of previews. I went to the doctor and got antibiotics.
I'm pretty ignorant. I live up in Connecticut and I choose to go see plays rather than musicals.
I'm never reluctant when it comes to things like costumes.
I'm fairly tough on anybody who isn't there for the play. I'm very tough on people who are in it for the wrong reason. I'm very tough on people who don't remember that there's an audience paying a lot of money.
I wouldn't want to do an hour-long show. You have no life. I'd like to do a nice fat hit situation comedy.
Patti Lupone: I would love to see all of our young composers have a voice.
Patti Lupone: I think in our business, in musicals, people don't always consider the people who do musicals to be trained actors.
Patti Lupone: I say two things: Thank God! and It's about time!
Patti Lupone: I play the orchestra bell! Orchestra bells are really hard. They're like playing the piano. You hit it wrong, it will resound the wrong note.
Patti Lupone: I love to travel. I write about different restaurants and things I've been to.
Patti Lupone: I learned a long time ago from David Mamet to wipe your feet at the door, get it out on stage and then go about your life.
Patti Lupone: I just create, that's what I do.
Patti Lupone: I can't leave my dressing room without everything being in order. Sometimes I won't even let other people hang up my costumes - I know it sounds crazy, but it's all part of being mentally focused.
Patti Lupone: Evita was such a strong image that people thought I was that person.
Patti Lupone: Childhood memories I'll never forget.
Patti Lupone: As far as the bad behavior is concerned, I think it depends on your circumstances. If you behave badly, you're a miserable human being in your life.
Patti Lupone: A well-rounded performer will listen to all kinds of music. I like classical, Middle Eastern, and rock a lot.
Patti Lupone: For a long time, I don't think people thought I was capable of comedy. I mean, I'm Italian, so crying has always been easy for me - our emotions are just underneath the skin. But I've always had a black sense of humor, and I've always been able to find humor in any situation.
