Where can I find an interview with Bernadette Peters where she talks
about the differences between movies and live theatre and which one
she prefers?

Here are two questions on this subject, and Bernadette Peters'
responses:

"Question:  I haven't had the pleasure of seeing you on broadway, but
I have
had the pleasure of seeing you onscreen. Which do you prefer?

BPetersLive:  They are both very different.  I like the run of a
Broadway show, because to you get to keep growing in the role. But the
great part about film is the spontaneity you bring to it...meaning
from take to take."

"What does making movies satisfy for you that's different from being
onstage?

They're different kinds of challenges, which is exciting. The
challenge of [film is] making it right there at that moment, and then
you get to move on."

On a related topic, at the end of a recent interview, Ms. Peters had
these thoughts "as to mixing movies, TV, Broadway, concerts and
albums":

"'I love the options, being able to choose what I'm going to do next.
I like to do the same thing for a while, get to perfect it -- that's
why I love a run in a show, growing and growing, learning about the
character. I think life is also about learning.'"

and searched on Google for various combinations of following terms:

I reviewed only the first three pages (90 results) for each Google
search;  there are so many pages on Bernadette Peters on the Internet!

Very quick to answer.  Got back to me within a few hours.  I was
looking for some better sources than what I got, but they will serve
the purpose.  All in all I was happy with the work that was done.
