“Life in New York can be so, I don't know, chaotic, overwhelming, busy,...” — Aaron Lazar Quote

Life in New York can be so, I don't know, chaotic, overwhelming, busy, frantic, and often, seniors can easily get overlooked.

My dad's paternal grandparents were musically inclined. And I remember as a little kid going to visit them in their senior building, and they were, like, the stars of the building, especially hosting and performing in their senior talent show.

Before 'Giant,' I had only ever worked with Michael Greif, Michael John LaChiusa and Kate Baldwin in readings. It's really exciting to be blessed with the opportunity to work with so many I would put in the 'genius' book.

I've always been excited at the idea of performing a solo show.

My mother was a pediatrician, and she kept busy hours. I learned from her you could pack a lot into the day. Every minute had to count, and multitasking was a given.

I didn't have the opportunity to go to college. I was busy touring since the age of 17.

It can feel like such a hectic lifestyle. We are always busy and always under pressure. So giving myself that 10 minutes of meditation each day has really helped me to relax, restore some perspective, and gain that meditative state.

I always feel like I'm so busy.

My kids need to be around me. And the times that I'm out of town, if I'm not too busy, they can come to me.
