The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Leslie Odom Jr.
- None of us wants to be judged by our worst act on our worst day, and we consistently judge Burr for that. He was not a perfect man, but he’s not a villain. He’s a dude, just a guy.
- My dad was always in sales. My mom had a heart for the ages. Worked in recreation, doing rehabilitation in nursing homes. Very nice, practical folks who were very proud of me but had no inclination toward the stage in any way.
- None of us get to divorce ourselves from the world. We walk into the theater and bring all of our grief and our pain and our joy with us.
- The only reason to keep talking about history is if you are juxtaposing it with the world that we live in today, if you are learning something about our world by looking at the way they shaped their world.
- I studied at Carnegie Mellon. I went there with a bunch of really, really talented kids.
- Josh Gad was in my class. Katy Mixon. Griffin Matthews. Josh Groban – he ended up leaving to become a huge star, but he was in our class in freshman year. I remember Josh was this nerdy kid in a turtleneck with a voice from heaven.
- I got my Equity Card with my Broadway debut when I did ‘Rent.’ I was in high school, and I came to New York to do that show.
- I think art, at its best, happens on a conscious and a subconscious level.
- If you’re an open channel when you’re onstage, if you’re just a vessel, things are going to come out that are stored away deep in your DNA.
- At 14, 15 years old, I started reading ‘Backstage’ regularly. Eventually, I got enough courage to look at the auditions section.
