Kirstie [Alley] saved me, in a way. [At the time], I had a terrible marriage, and I stayed at her house.

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 NEUWIRTHI was not influenced by concerts as a child, but I was very strongly influenced by the ballets I saw.
BEBE NEUWIRTHMore than anything I love being on stage and performing
BEBE NEUWIRTHThe musical stuff I’d go up for was always funny, sexy, tough-as-nails, heart-of-gold characters.
BEBE NEUWIRTHI really loved Kelsey [Grammer]. It wasn’t a romantic love, but there was something about him. It’s very difficult to see someone you care about having a hard time.
BEBE NEUWIRTHCertainly the life of a dancer is very difficult. The training is very hard and relentlessly grueling.
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 NEUWIRTHThe first Broadway show I saw was when I was 11. I saw ‘Hair.
BEBE NEUWIRTHArtists need to express.
BEBE NEUWIRTHI can act. I can sing. But I am a dancer
BEBE NEUWIRTHI’ve seen some very beautiful drag queens.
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”.
BEBE NEUWIRTHWhen I was born, they put casts on my legs ’cause I had some kind of dysplasia or something. My legs were all messed up.
BEBE NEUWIRTHI’ve never danced professionally as a ballet dancer, but all of my training is ballet, and I am a Fosse dancer.
