I had been a kid that moved so much, I didn't have a lot of friends. Theater really represented camaraderie.

I do prefer theater. The whole process of film is just so tedious. You're there for 18 hours a day, there's so much idle time. You just burn out. Also, there isn't the camaraderie you get in the theater.

Also, it was a cultural moment that wasn't being represented in terms of women who were successful and had choices they didn't have before. They needed a show that they can watch that they felt like represented them.

Theater is liberating because it only works if it's truthful. That's what it requires. That's not true of film: the camera does lie. You can be moved by a performance on set, but when you see it on screen, it does nothing. Yet there will be someone you simply didn't notice on set that on screen: bam!

The Big Red Bus
All nationalities, races and religions
Represented on this world on wheels
As sights of Paris pass by, our senses
Now immune to their immensity
One monument to history merges into another
Each story of glories and achievements
Relating to past battles against foes
Now considered friends
Each represented on the Big Red Bus

My Elusive Dreams
You followed me to Texas.
You followed me to Utah.
We didn't find it there,
So we moved on.
You went with me to Alabam,
And things looked good in Birmingham.
We didn't find it there,
So, we moved on.
I know you're tired of following
My elusive dreams and schemes!
For they're only fleeting things'
My elusive dreams.
You had my child in Memphis.
Then I heard of work in Nashville.
But we didn't find it there,
So we moved on'
To a small farm in Nebraska'
To a gold mine in Alaska'
We didn't find it there,
So we moved on.
Now we've left Alaska,
'cause there was no gold there.
But this time,
Only two of us moved on.
Now all we have is each other,
And a little memory to cling to.
Still, you won't let me go'
Go on alone.
I know you're tired of following
My elusive dreams and schemes!
For they're only fleeting things'
My elusive dreams

The knights of the theater represented to me not only the pinnacle of the profession but the esteem in which the profession was held. To find myself, to my astonishment, in that company is the grandest thing that has professionally happened to me.

My Elusive Dreams
by Curly Putman and Billy Sherrill
(added 10/25/97, thanks to Pauline Buchanan)
You followed me to Texas, you followed me to Utah,
We didn't find it there so we moved on.
Then you went with me to A-la-bam',
Things looked good in Birmingham,
We didn't find it there so we moved on.
I know you're tired of fol-low-ing
My elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things,
My elusive dreams.
You had my child in Memphis then I heard of work in Nashville,
But we didn't find it there so we moved on.
To a small farm in Nebraska, to a gold mine in Alaska,
We didn't find it there so we moved on.
I know you're tired of fol-low-ing
My elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things,
My elusive dreams.
Now we've left A-las-ka because thewas no gold mine,
But this time only two of us moved on.
And now all we have is each other and a little memory
To cling to and still you won't let me go on alone.
I know you're tired of following
My elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things,
My elusive dreams.

Barbara's Been a Bad Girl
Barbara's been a bad girl
Someone should have said
Then taken away her candy
And sent her straight to bed
Barbara grew up with people
Who would never scold
Who were always within reach
Without even being told
She starting meeting friends
Just to keep the blues away
Soom they moved in
And were there to stay
We never really knew little Barbara
When we met she'd already been sold
To friends who didn't care
She only wanted more and not to get old
Barbara had a bad time
Always trying to get more
For Barbara's friends came in bottles
From a prescription drug store
Barbara's been a bad girl
Someone shouold have said
Then taken away her pills
And pulled her out of bed

Sad Friends
its sad you were not there
people like you just dont care
i some times just think
do i care or may i dare
friends stand by their friends
just cant think, why you tripped
you should have been there
still me thinkin you cared
how sad, of me to belive
that the sad friends
was not real friends
so now i ve moved on
and got rid of them friends
and got great friends
who cares,
Theater in Chicago will always be my first love. It started careers for me and about 50 of my friends. We all love coming back. As soon as the TV show is over, I'll be back in Chicago, doing live theater.

I've always wanted to do theater in Chicago. Chicago is a big theater town-and, in some ways, I think this city is savvier and smarter than New York. Sometimes, I think it's a little too chic to go to theater in New York these days.

I believe in things that move people, if the audience isn't deeply caught up and moved to either laughter or tears then I don't think it is theater.

Moon after the earth
She didn’t turn her face but turned my phase.
She didn’t move her eyes but moved my vibes.
She didn’t slide her lips but shook my ribs.
She made me revolve her as the earth does the moon.

I Shall Not Be Moved
You will take my breath away,
Gild my heart with your love-
I shall not be moved.
My eyes will gloat at your sashay,
My lips will droll at your pulchritude-
I shall not be moved.
You will come with religions of faiths,
A heap of mountains you have moved-
Still I shall not be moved.
You will give me strongest of philtres,
Your touch will erect my one weakness-
But I shall not be moved.
You will light my darkest paths,
Move me here to there-
Yet I shall not be moved.
You will sing our song,
Your love for me will exceed eternity,
Even then, I shall not be moved.
You will live for me,
Die for me- For the last time-
I shall not be moved.

Dream About It
I didn't wanna talk
I didn't even know your name
But the way that you moved your body
I could tell that you were game
As I moved a little closer to you
You cast your spell on me
I didn't wanna stop
Didn't wanna miss a beat
Cos the passion inside of you
Knocked me off my feet
There was nothing I could do about it
You had a hold over me
It must have been plain to see
But don't go jumping to conclusions
I ain't looking for romance
I'm having the best time now
But please understand
Don't even think that I
Wanna run away with you
Never assume that I
Could ever feel the way you do
Who said a thing about
Love forever true
Don't even dream about
Dream about it
You led me to your ride
Pulled the soft top down
I could tell I'd got your motor running
As we cruised through town
As a warm breeze strokes your body
I felt you touching me
It wasn't just a fantasy
Don't ever dream that this could be
More than just sexuality
Just 'cos I'm knocking boots with you
You ought to think yourself lucky
To land yourself a squeeze like me
So you just appreciate it
Before you go and waste it

I was inspired by a lot of people when I was young. Every band that came through town, to the theater, or the dance hall. I was at every dance, every night club, listened to every band that came through, because in those days we didn't have MTV, we didn't have television.
