I love to sing with my daughter. Audiences like it because a mother-daughter pairing is a curiosity.
I like coming up with these spectacular extravaganzas that will, hopefully, totally blow people away. But I also like the intimacy of stopping it all and sitting at the edge of the stage and connecting with individual people in the audience.
Sometimes I know a film might not pull the audience to the theatres and have a great collection at the box office. But I need to do these films for creative satisfaction and give something different to the audience.
Competition is always good, but I truly believe that 'Lucha Underground' has nothing to do with WWE or their programming. We are completely different, you know. And, in a way, we have more to offer.
Starting with a party scene for 600 cast and end up singing on top of a giant elephant...does it get any better than this?
Television has always been our No. 1 competition. But I know firsthand that you can create an experience you can't get on television. I also know that the social experience has an appeal.
The Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players are the most wonderful creatures.
I make the most money, I think, in Russia and Paris, for the people of those countries are so willing to be amused, so eager to see something new and out of the ordinary.
The creative brand of Cirque du Soleil is creativity.
You've got Marvel films, sequels, franchise movies, so much noise out there. You're trying to brand your entertainment. The musical is its own brand.
I'm thrilled in a way because musicals should be preserved. It's mostly unique to America, and they give us so much joy.
With 'Barely Famous', we've tapped into and created something really exciting that we'll always be proud of going forward.
I love doing my surreal sing-along that had words that no one could follow.
I like to present something that the people haven't seen or haven't heard before. Otherwise they might as well just stay home and play the record.
Improv is always seen as something that's funny, but worth a $5 ticket, $10 at most. I think ISC is one of those shows that is worth a real ticket price. It's hard-hitting and great and different every time.
