Creating a role is an interesting thing – each show or each situation is different.
BEBE NEUWIRTHCreating a role is an interesting thing – each show or each situation is different.
BEBE NEUWIRTHI’ve been on stage since I was 7. That’s where I’d rather be than anywhere else. Just because you can do a bunch of things doesn’t mean you are a bunch of things.
BEBE NEUWIRTHThe first Broadway show I saw was when I was 11. I saw ‘Hair.
BEBE NEUWIRTHThere was one person [opening] the door with a butter knife and another person kicking the door in so I could get a photo. He’s decapitated, but totally nude. And he’s really well-endowed.
BEBE NEUWIRTHI’ve never danced professionally as a ballet dancer, but all of my training is ballet, and I am a Fosse dancer.
BEBE NEUWIRTHI know when I’m bad, I know when I’m good, and I know when I’m everything in between.
BEBE NEUWIRTHI don’t see my dancing or acting as two separate things. I don’t define them separately, so I can’t say one has helped the other, It’s all the same thing.
BEBE NEUWIRTHPeople make snap judgments about me that are frequently misguided.
BEBE NEUWIRTHIt’s a blessing as an artist to express myself – whether that be via dance, via song or via speech – in so many different ways.
BEBE NEUWIRTHStage and film are just two wildly different animals. Why compare the two?
BEBE NEUWIRTHPart of the success of the show is that the audience sees themselves in the characters, becomes the characters. The more they inhabit the characters, the more they see.
BEBE NEUWIRTHShakespeare feels very natural to me.
BEBE NEUWIRTHI’m not a performer who will come on stage and tell you everything about my life. It’s just not who I am.
BEBE NEUWIRTHMore than anything I love being on stage and performing
BEBE NEUWIRTHAnything that I do, I try to make it as good as I possibly can.
BEBE NEUWIRTHI made jokes about kissing Murphy Brown. But if that’s what cost me my job, my wife will probably say, “Hey asshole, I told you so”.
