When I'm on stage, the songs that we've chosen to play from the back catalog are things that still resonate with me, and matter to me. And the songs that I couldn't be a part of, we don't play anymore.
I don't think I make decisions as an actor based on what I think the fans will or will not want at this point.
I don't really have choices in the material I get. So I have to make the choices in the way I play the characters.
As an actor you make choices that are either right or wrong, and you find the ones that are right for you. As an understudy, the choices have been made, so you have to make those choices right. Going into the role, you can't really question it.
Actors make choices for different reasons.
The only thing that we as actors really can control is to be able to say 'yes' or 'no' to the material.
That's one of my problems is that there are so many songs to sing that I sort of get indecisive about what I want to do in a show - because there are so many possibilities! There are so many great songs out there.
You always have to make positive choices as an actor, even when you're playing someone who may not be doing the best things.
