I don’t seem to take vacations, but I must say, a jaunt into Central Park can be mighty transporting. My boy and I can spend hours in the Ramble scaling rocks and sword fighting with sticks. I often forget I’m in Manhattan when I’m in there. Spencer Kayden Read Quote
If I weren’t performing, there is a real chance that I would be a ‘One Man, Two Guvnors’ groupie. I think that production is masterful in every way. Spencer Kayden Read Quote
Sometimes I feel like ‘Avenue Q’ or even ‘Book of Mormon’ might not have happened without ‘Urinetown.’ ‘Urinetown’ sort of paved the way, just in terms of what Broadway would accept in its houses. It just blows my mind, the stuff ‘Book of Mormon’ gets away with. It’s way farther across the line than ‘Urinetown’ ever was. Spencer Kayden Read Quote
In my mid-twenties, I said to myself: ‘I can’t perform anymore!’ I didn’t know what I wanted to do. I didn’t perform for a while, then ended up doing a one-woman show about Gilda Radner having cancer. It was called ‘Gilda Defying Gravity,’ and I did it on the Lower East Side. It was great; people really came out and supported me. Spencer Kayden Read Quote
I choose to live without hope to protect myself from disappointment. It’s very effective! Spencer Kayden Read Quote
To be honest, I didn’t even know what the Drama Desk Awards were until I was nominated. Spencer Kayden Read Quote
I surround myself with people I admire and respect. I have never tried to make anything happen. I don’t know how long ‘Urinetown’ will run on Broadway, and I find myself strangely unconcerned about it. Spencer Kayden Read Quote
