Lea Salonga Quotes

I was doing TV work, theatre work, and some film work in the Philippines when I left Picture Quote #1

I’d love to do just straight theatre. I’d love to do film and television, too Picture Quote #1

I watch a lot of TV - ‘Perfect Strangers,’ ‘Family Matters,’ ‘Who’s the Boss?’ - then I go over my notes in the script, lock it into my head and go to bed Picture Quote #1

Don’t expect a pat on the back for merely doing your job, but know that you’ll get one for doing it exceptionally well Picture Quote #1

I’m interested in just about anything that’s right for my voice, and that’s a good fit for my personality in the part as well. ‘Evita’ has always been a dream part for me, but it’s really, really high to sing. I’d love to do Elphaba - heck, I’d even do Glinda. For me, I’d do anything to get into ‘Wicked!’ Picture Quote #1

When I was about 6, my cousin was very active in a Filipino repertory company, doing musicals and plays. Her aunt was one of the founders of the company, and she told my mom that there were these auditions for ‘The King and I,’ and that they needed kids. I auditioned, got in and the love affair started from there and just kept going Picture Quote #1

I just refuse to date actors. I’ve done that, and I don’t want to do that anymore. It’s just the stress of traveling and being away from each other so much Picture Quote #1

I was 28, and my mom was living with me. I had to decide. You have to claim it; you can’t ask permission. After a gig in Singapore, she went home, I went to New York on my own, I packed her stuff in boxes and sent it home. I don’t think she liked me for a while for doing that. It was something I needed to do to carve out my own space Picture Quote #1

When I’m doing a one-on-one with somebody, I have to speak in a language that that person can understand, using a vocabulary that they instantly get, and I always have to feel my way around to figure that out. It’s a lot of fun, and it’s also really challenging - challenging in a different way from performing Picture Quote #1

I took some voice lessons here and there as a teenager but nothing too serious. I started taking it more seriously when I was in Miss Saigon. I needed to improve my technique in order to survive doing that show as many time a week as I was doing it. It’s not an easy show to sing, so I needed all the help I could get Picture Quote #1

I seem to have a soft spot in my heart for Australia and Australian actors. After having worked with one in ‘Cinderella’ and a multitude of them in ‘Cats,’ I’ve wanted the opportunity to actually perform ‘down under.’ Picture Quote #1

In the modern operas that ‘Miss Saigon’ and ‘Les Miz’ are, nobody breaks out into song from conventional book dialogue. Everything is sung from beginning to end, including the recitative Picture Quote #1

I would love to do some straight drama. A lot of times it’s not up to the actor, it’s up to the producer. It’s up to the powers that be Picture Quote #1

Love your enemies... it’s not always an easy tenet to live by... and I have more often than not been inclined to wish my enemies ill than well Picture Quote #1

I don’t think I would’ve been performing this long if I didn’t love it sincerely to the degree that I do. It’s not enough to like it. Dilettantes like things. Professionals love things and I consider myself a professional Picture Quote #1

I just refuse to date actors. I’ve done that, and I don’t want to do that anymore. It’s just the stress of traveling and being away from each other so much Picture Quote #1

I play video games a lot... I love to read... I enjoy spending time with my husband and daughter, who are my most favorite people in the world Picture Quote #1

I think I will always be performing; I don’t think I can take that away. Because I really just enjoy it. I like getting up to sing; I like the challenge of learning new material and singing it in front of an audience Picture Quote #1

I like vodka tonics and gin and tonics. I also like gimlets. I like things that have sweetness with a bit of a kick Picture Quote #1

My singing technique is really strong and I have to thank my teachers for really instilling a sense of discipline about how to sing properly and how to maintain your voice in a run Picture Quote #1

Don’t expect a pat on the back for merely doing your job, but know that you’ll get one for doing it exceptionally well Picture Quote #1

I think that if an audience is truly appreciative of a performance, they will show it. Sometimes though, there are little differences, and there are audiences that are very reserved even though they are enjoying the show Picture Quote #1

I’d love to do just straight theatre. I’d love to do film and television, too Picture Quote #1

I believe that everyone has the fundamental right to head to city hall with the person they love and get married. Period Picture Quote #1
