~ Bebe Neuwirth Quote
Ballet has always been how I defined myself - even as a child. It's never been just a thing to do.
~ Bebe Neuwirth Quote
I am just a plain Jew; I mean have no training.
~ Bebe Neuwirth Quote
I 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. More than anything I love being on stage and performing.
~ Bebe Neuwirth Quote
I kept getting asked to sing places, but I didn't have any material. I didn't want to do some kind of cabaret revue, and I wasn't comfortable talking to the audience. I prefer to have a character in a world set by the conceit of a theater piece.
~ Bebe Neuwirth Quote
I know when I'm bad, I know when I'm good, and I know when I'm everything in between. I don't have any delusions of grandeur or delusions of failure. In terms of my work, I've got a pretty cold honest eye.
~ Bebe Neuwirth Quote
I missed New York. Every break I had from the series, I'd fly back to the East Coast just to get back onstage.
~ Bebe Neuwirth Quote
I really abuse the substance unapologetically. There was one good year where I gave up sugar completely. Then, when my birthday came around, I decided I wasn't going to celebrate without chocolate cake. So I eased myself back on sugar. Besides, it makes me happy.
~ Bebe Neuwirth Quote
I really liked that my character was Jewish, yet she wasn't a stereotype.
~ Bebe Neuwirth Quote
If I'm not in shape, it feels like something is wrong. If I haven't been able to get to class for a while or I've been sick, I don't feel complete. It doesn't feel like the electricity is making its connections.
~ Bebe Neuwirth Quote
I'll always be a dancer first.
~ Bebe Neuwirth Quote
In a really well-written musical, you talk until you just can't talk anymore, you're going to have to sing. And when you're just so full you can't sing anymore, then you have to dance. It's a natural progression.
~ Bebe Neuwirth Quote
It's always hard for me not to dance when I'm on camera; I've had great times doing (TV and movies), but physically I feel very restricted.
~ Bebe Neuwirth Quote
It's an example of how well the shows were written and produced. The only way you knew Lilith was Jewish was that her son had a brit (ritual circumcision).
~ Bebe Neuwirth Quote
It's more about who Oscar is that these women are falling in love with him than just his age. In that sense, it's a little more European than we're used to.
~ Bebe Neuwirth Quote
It's very hard for a performer to trust the material and trust that we don't have to do anything but speak the truth.
~ Bebe Neuwirth Quote
I've always loved to dance on stage. I've been doing ballet since I was five, and stage dancing since I was seven.
~ Bebe Neuwirth Quote
I'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. I can act. I can sing. But I am a dancer.
~ Bebe Neuwirth Quote
My parents are such great people, ... They wanted me to do whatever it was that I loved doing.
~ Bebe Neuwirth Quote
Part 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 Neuwirth Quote
People are at their happiest if they are true to themselves. I think that applies to their chosen profession, friends and relationships. It goes for your health too. If you are true to yourself, it seems to me everything should work out pretty well.
~ Bebe Neuwirth Quote
Stage and film are just two wildly different animals. Why compare the two?
~ Bebe Neuwirth Quote
The ‘Cheers' character Lilith is not based on the Jewish myth.
~ Bebe Neuwirth Quote
The laughs are earned by the really well fleshed out characters.
~ Bebe Neuwirth Quote
The show reveals itself to me sometimes; it's kind of spooky. I really dig that.
~ Bebe Neuwirth Quote
This had better not be all about Lilith.
~ Bebe Neuwirth Quote
You have to be aware. Like, I'm not going to do any downhill skiing. It looks like a whole lot of fun, but I'm not going to risk breaking a leg. I want to be dancing the way I'm dancing now for 30 more years.
~ Bebe Neuwirth Quote
