Zitat des Tages von Darren Criss:
I'm not a mean person.
When I play live in restaurants and cafes, I don't play my own stuff. I play jazz and 'American Songbook' standards, and I'll fuse it with top 40.
When you're an artist, you have to hope for everything and expect nothing.
I never let my politics supersede my manners.
As a musician, I hear the harmonic value of everything - I just enjoy music.
We are a categorically obsessed culture, where we have to compartmentalize everything in reference to another thing, like, 'What does it sound like? Does it sound like this?'
I always make time for the things that are important to me.
I'd like to be writing songs for other people - I just like writing songs.
I wish I was old Hollywood.
When I'm in the U.K. I find myself using a lot of Britishisms.
I'm like any other composer. If you give me five years to write a symphony, I'm still going to be asking for more time two days before it's due.
Theater is a living creature. It takes a while to break in, like a new pair of shoes.
I'm always just waiting for someone to cut me off; I'm a chatty guy.
I mean, come on, Beyonce's the queen of pop music. She's the queen. If you could run for queen... I would put her name in the suggestion box. She's incredible.
I was inadvertently raised in the 'gay community.' I had straight parents, but I spent massive amounts of time at a very early age with gay, theater-hopeful thirty-somethings.
When I was in college, I was in the theater department, which for anyone who has been involved in any kind of theater program, you know that it's really wacky and tight-knit, a real family. Me and my good friends from college would do random shows and plays that were sometimes serious, but most of the time really goofy and funny.
I think people love to attach themselves to the idea of an overnight success. That may be true about me.
Fashion is about owning whatever you're wearing, regardless of if it's a high fashion statement or not.
I remember seeing 'Aladdin' when I was five or six and loving it. I looked at the big screen and said to my mum, 'Whatever this Genie guy does, I want to do.' Mum said I couldn't be a genie, but that Robin Williams, who did the voice-over in the film, was an actor. So I said, 'OK, then, I want to be an actor.'
