It was a lot of things to juggle, but that was never hard, that was all intellectual. There are things that are technically challenging about that number: on top of the words, there’s the movement and the fact that we’re doing the previous number in reverse the whole time. What is the most difficult component of performing this song? Even watching it on film, I’m still like, “Am I worthy of this great, wonderful moment?” Lin told me on the phone the other day, they were more protective of that song than anything else. Then they gave me that amazing beast of a song, and I had that awesome but very daunting responsibility of being worthy of it. After a couple questions, Tommy slid a glass of water over to me before I did it again. I went into that audition and I did it once. And then, by the grace of God, I just suddenly got it. I did that old thing I used to do when I was a kid, where I kept rewinding over and over and over again to learn a lick. So, the way I learn lines is an understanding of the thought process that’s why I’m good at playing a lawyer who says rational arguments and bad at playing a doctor who says all this medical jargon I don’t understand.
