Memorable Quotes[]
| “ | Just call your publicist and get rid of them! And get your ass to my rehearsals on time and stop messing about with your understudy! In fact, stop messing about with me! This show is going to Broadway where it's going to be a blinding hit. I am not about to let some stupid little movie star with childish power issues stop it or me! | ” |
