“More than anything I want to get up there and hang out with the audience, make everybody feel like it's fun and they're involved and are just, like, friends hanging out in somebody's living room. I went to see Carole King on her 'Living Room' Tour, and that's the kind of feeling I'm aiming for.” WantFeelsKindFeelingsFunRoomsAudienceKingsInvolvedGet UpHanging OutLiving Room Author:Kate Voegele

“The funny thing is that the studio that we recorded in was the same studio that Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby and Nat King Cole used to warm up their voices in before they went across the street to CBS Radio. The owner has preserved it exactly the way it was in 1925. It was such a perfect coincidence that we were doing music inspired by that stuff in that room. It was incredible.” WayUsedStuffVoicePerfectRoomsStreetsKingsInspiredIncrediblesRadioStudiosWarmOwnersFrankCoincidenceFunny ThingsCrosby Author:Hamilton Leithauser

“I had been emotionally affected by the story [of Steven King], on my own, and I knew how I wanted to feel watching it because I had felt it already reading it.

“In my school, the library was forbidden. I was accused of turning on the radiator so that the [class]room was uninhabitable and the ceiling came down below; I'm pretty sure I didn't do it. But then we were moved to the library. And there was a really boring history thing, about the Spanish Armada: how could you make that boring?!So I reached my hand out, and slid a book off to read under the desk, and it opened at King Lear Act Four Scene Six. I was astounded. I'd never seen language like it. I was awestruck. I think that may be one reason why I got involved in theatre.” ThinkingMayBookReasonHandsSchoolLanguageRoomsClassFourKingsInvolvedSceneSixMovedLibraryBoringTheatreReason WhyDesksForbiddenAccusedCeilingsLearAstoundedAwestruck Author:Keith Johnstone
“The White House is such an extraordinary, simple, beautiful place. It's an extraordinary piece of our history, because it is the one thing that binds our country together. We don't have a king obviously, but we have this president, and the fact that almost all of them have lived in the same place, and so much history took place in those rooms. You can't help but feel awe-inspired by being there.” FeelsCountryFactsHelpingTogetherBeautifulHousePresidentSimpleWhiteRoomsPiecesOne ThingKingsExtraordinaryInspiredOur CountryAweWhite HouseBeing ThereBeautiful Places Author:Doris Kearns Goodwin
