I never take on anything that is just for the money or just for, you know. I always have to connect with it in a very personal way because I believe the audience will sense whether I`m into it or not, so I don`t take on projects that I`m not really passio...
I just bought a bunch of CDs and downloaded them into my I-pod. I bought the Seal record, a Swahili drum album, and there`s some original African drums that I listen to before the show.
I have two favorite songs. My first is called `Dance of The Robe` and it`s a very powerful number where she is feeling the pressure from her people to take on the responsibility of leading them.
I had this instinct and I just knew it. It was a very strange thing and as soon as I finished recording it, we were all in the studio saying we have something really special here.
I always thought that it was every performer`s dream. That`s the epitome of being an artist, being able to express song, dance and acting in a live theatre setting and really connecting with an audience on that level.
