It was surreal to play opposite Angela Lansbury and Elaine Stritch, Bernadette Peters and Catherine Zeta-Jones. There was so much to learn just from watching them, and it was an honor to share the stage with women who have accomplished what they have.
I'm like Elaine Stritch everywhere.
I met Patti LuPone and Elaine Paige in a party. I didn't speak too much with Patti, but she was lovely with me.
In the early 1980s, I spent a year working as an assistant at the Elaine Markson Literary Agency.
I think Elaine would go out with anyone if they showed interest in her. She's nuts. The woman's nuts.
Elaine is just in pain. I think Elaine has become very, very sad woman. She is someone who is in deep need of many hours of analysis and I like to think that I'm not that type of person.
Getting to perform at the Carlyle, following in the footsteps of women like Elaine Stritch, Barbara Cook, Christine Ebersole, Kelli O'Hara, and so many others, is nothing short of a dream come true.
I'm a massive 'Seinfeld' freak, and growing up, I always wanted to be Elaine - but I think everybody has a little bit of George in them, even if nobody wants to admit it.
One year was so bad for me and my wife that we were going to have to sell our house until Elaine decided to change career and earn some money.
It was really my grandmother who was the biggest influence because she'd talk back to the celebrities and politicians on TV. She was a combination of Joan Rivers, Elaine Stritch, Betty White, and Bea Arthur rolled into one.
