Jonathan Groff Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Jonathan Groff:

I smile a lot in my real life.

I ended up doing three very complicated off-Broadway plays that, in certain ways, were not successes in that they were received in a complicated way. But for me they were successes because they forced me to act without singing, which I'd never done before.

I'm not on Twitter. I'm not on Facebook. I'm not on Instagram.

Jonathan Groff

If I've had roadblocks along the way for being gay, I'm not aware of them.

Jonathan Groff

When I was doing 'Spring Awakening' the first couple of years I was living in New York, I was gay, and I was living with my 'roommate,' who was my boyfriend but was my roommate to everyone else.

Jonathan Groff

It's one thing to experience your Broadway debut alone, but to share it with an entire company was like summer camp or a college experience, where you were really growing up together.

Jonathan Groff

I love going to the movies.

Jonathan Groff

I love the you-never-know-what's-going-to-happen aspect of doing concerts.

Jonathan Groff

I did 'How to Succeed in Business... ,' 'Kiss Me Kate,' 'Godspell,' and 'You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown' in high school, all of which were fun.

Jonathan Groff

When you get to really involve yourself with a piece and the other people, and you get to feel like it's a community and you're all building something together, it helps me to produce better work, I think.

Jonathan Groff

'Looking' is more than just a television show. It's contributing to the cultural conversation, and for me, those are the most exciting projects to be a part of.

Jonathan Groff

I smile a lot in my real life.

Jonathan Groff

After 'Spring Awakening,' I wanted to do things that are really challenging and outside my comfort zone: things that scare me a little and make me grow.

Jonathan Groff

The difference between being in the closet and out of the closet as a gay man is such a huge shift. I feel so connected still to that 22-year-old, but the idea that I was not open with that part of my life - which I am now so open about - is sort of surreal.

Jonathan Groff

It's so awesome to be a part of something that is successful not because there's a famous person in it or because it's a revival of something, but because it's so fresh and original.

Jonathan Groff

I'd rather be a working actor and not hiding anything in my personal life.

Jonathan Groff

I'm very selective about television because you sign away so much of your life to it.

Jonathan Groff

I beat 'Super Mario Bros 1,' '2,' and '3.'

Jonathan Groff

Make sure that you always follow your heart and your gut, and let yourself be who you want to be, and who you know you are. And don't let anyone steal your joy.

Jonathan Groff

Alfred Molina is one of the nicest people on the planet and a complete master.

Jonathan Groff

I taught a class about the Tony Awards at a summer theater camp the year after I graduated from high school. So, the first time I was nominated for 'Spring Awakening,' it felt like a surreal dream: it was every childhood dream I had come true. It felt like a fairy tale.

Jonathan Groff

I feel like loyalty is such a rare quality in this world, particularly the entertainment world.

Jonathan Groff

I guess I think of myself as an actor before I think of myself as a gay actor.

Jonathan Groff

I've never had trouble sleeping in my life.

Jonathan Groff

I feel like, with a television show, you're always biting your nails hoping you're going to get that next season.

Jonathan Groff

I don't hate dating people, but I'm not on social media or anything.

Jonathan Groff

When I was a senior in high school, I worked at a theater where they hired New York actors. And they told me about 'Backstage,' and so I got my school in Pennsylvania to subscribe. And there was an audition for a tour of 'The Sound of Music,' and I got the job. Deferred my admission to college just to go on tour.

Jonathan Groff

Musical auditions are always the worst because you have to sing and act, and that's so stressful.

Jonathan Groff

Personally, for me in my life, I think every journey should be an ongoing journey, for anyone.

Jonathan Groff

I was journaling in Florence, and I was like, 'Oh, I have to come out of the closet. I have to break up with this guy' - he was my 'roommate.' So that was my awakening moment, when I stepped into my own skin while in a foreign country by myself and had a very stereotypical moment of revelation.

Jonathan Groff

There is really nothing like doing a play in New York.

Jonathan Groff

Just follow your joy. Always. I think that if you do that, life will take you on the course that it's meant to take you.

Jonathan Groff

As a kid growing up in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, all I wanted to do was be on Broadway in a musical. 'Spring Awakening' kind of answered all of my questions and fulfilled all of my dreams - beyond my wildest dreams.

Jonathan Groff

While I was in high school, I saw Sutton Foster in 'Thoroughly Modern Millie,' and she was the one that was most inspiring to me for sure. I saw 'Millie' 6 times in a span of two years or so.

Jonathan Groff

Trying to sound good at 10 A.M. is the worst.

Jonathan Groff

I think about 'Will & Grace,' and I think about 'Modern Family,' and the way that being gay has become sort of middle America... in the way that they show gay people in their specific way.

Jonathan Groff

Playing King George, for me, was a lesson in stillness and timing.
