I am not a comedian, I am an actor.
I was more of a light opera singer, not really much of a lounge singer.
I don't think I was considered to be a cabaret singer because I didn't have patter that was written.
Obviously musical theatre is not my thing, but dramatic theatre is much more up my alley.
Whether it's animated, whether it's live-action, whether it's Broadway, whether it's television, a musical is a musical is a musical. So, pretty much, you approach the songs in pretty much the same way.
I would like to work in both comedy and drama.
I always fancied myself more of an actor than a comedian before I realized that only assholes make that kind of distinction.
I don't like rock. Honestly, I like to listen to it, but it's not for me. There's a lot of musical genres that I find interesting, but they don't suit me. It's one thing to listen to different genres, but to perform a genre that isn't yours is counterproductive.
I think my time on 'Australian Idol' really helped train my voice for a lot of genres.
I have done all of the genres, and the dramatic role is my favorite.
I am an opera virgin; I'd far prefer to see a musical such as 'Guys and Dolls.'
I've done a lot of drama in my career, but I'm actually more comfortable doing comedy.
Firstly, I will never leave comedy because I love doing it. Secondly, it's the genre that has given me acceptance and immense love from the audience.
I like musicals that look more like plays.
You can easily become boxed in and be only identified with musicals or plays.
