“I love singing, but I feel very naked and very vulnerable when I'm sin...” — Jake Epstein Quote

“I love singing, but I feel very naked and very vulnerable when I'm singing sometimes. With acting, I always think that it doesn't matter what you are as long as you're truthful in that moment. But with singing, you always have to hit the note. It's not like you can just go, 'Oh, it doesn't really matter what note you sing!'”

“When I was 12, I played the Artful Dodger in Cameron McKintosh's production of 'Oliver!' when it came to Toronto. Just getting the role shocked my whole family, and I don't think I realized until then just how much I loved getting up in front of people and performing.”

“To write well you must be willing to go naked into the world.”

“The end was surely near. The Nazis killed you only when you were naked, because they knew, psychologically, that naked people never resist.”

“The moment that you feel that just possibly you are walking down the street naked... that's the moment you may be starting to get it right.”
