“I took part in a theatre festival in Massachusetts two summers after I graduated from college. Then I was in Los Angeles thinking: "I'm going to go to New York."

“I'm not a person who believes that Broadway is the only place. I think there's lots of work that goes on outside of Broadway and outside of New York that's better than anything Broadway has ever seen. But, it's historically the place. It's one of the centers of the universe, in many ways.” ThinkingWayBelievePersonsUniverseNew YorkGoes OnBroadwayCenter Of The Universe Author:Billy Porter
“I think it is all about creating characters, mixing them up with the stars and the light-years, and coming back to Earth, because we're from this universe.
