“I do feel pressure. I have always been able to surprise people because...” — Michael Cerveris Quote

“I do feel pressure. I have always been able to surprise people because they didn't know to expect anything from me. And now people are starting to have expectations.”

“I've never been good at making smart career decisions or doing the right strategic thing, and yet somehow it's all led me to exactly the kind of career that I would have dreamed of having - if only I'd been smart enough to dream something like that.”

“I studied voice at Yale with Blake Stern from the music school, and he had me singing German lieder and Italian songs.”

“I just know when I'm on the sideline, I can't expect somebody to push me out of bounds.”

“My goal was always to sell out theaters. When it happens you never expect it to be like it is, but you know it feels right.”

“I think there are definitely times when I feel the expectations on my shoulders and I think it's because even before I race people expect me to get a gold medal and it's not the case.”
