Michael Cerveris's quotes
- My life/career is more filled with left-field thrills than I could ever have hoped for.
- I've never been good at making smart career decisions or doing the right strategic thing, and yet somehow it's all led me to exactly the kind of career that I would have dreamed of having - if only I'd been smart enough to dream something like that.
- Anyone who finds a murdering barber sexy is someone you gotta be kinda nervous about, but I'm grateful for any attention.
- I guess it's good advertising for my barber skills if I shave myself well. I've been shaving my head since 'Tommy' [in 1993] because I wore a wig all the time; it was so much more comfortable to have it shaved.
- I do feel pressure. I have always been able to surprise people because they didn't know to expect anything from me. And now people are starting to have expectations. They're not necessarily expectations that I plan to satisfy.
- I told my agents, This time I'm serious, I don't want to do another musical for a long time. Though I would do Sondheim, I never expected I would get to.
- [on 'Sweeney Todd'] They are actually taking human lives and grinding up people to serve to other people. We can watch stories about it on Court TV until we're nauseous, but you don't usually go to the musical theater to confront those things.
- [on working with the legendary Patti Lupone] "There's a real comfort zone, a kind of shorthand between us, and we know we can count on each other. That comes in handy when you're trying to create such complex characters in a short time."
