“To be rapping in a musical on Broadway is just - that sentence doesn't...” — Daveed Diggs Quote

“To be rapping in a musical on Broadway is just - that sentence doesn't make any sense in my brain.”

“I feel like, anytime I'm onstage, I tend to feel very connected with people in the audience or with the sort of heartbeat or tempo of the audience.”

“The reason you write something that is exciting and visceral is to force people to hear what you have to say, especially if you're in any kind of marginalized community where people don't want to listen. You have to come up with tricks to make them listen.”

“I went to the Paradise Restaurant on 49th Street and Broadway which was where they were playing, and I sat in.”

“I mean these people who work on Broadway, in my opinion, are the most gifted of everyone. I mean they really know how to dance. They really know how to act. They really know how to sing. They know how to perform.”

“By 1949, there was no more work for me out there, and I went to New York in 1950 and just did whatever I could. Mainly television. Some Broadway. A lot of dinner theater work, which is not a very satisfactory medium.”
