funny love needs played version women
I would love to play 'Funny Girl' or 'Evita,' but I idolize the women who have played those parts. I don't know if there needs to be another version of those shows.
identify singer
Who am I, if I'm not this singer with big high notes? I identify with my voice. But I'm more than just the acrobatics.
accessible camp focusing income kids love
I'd love to open a camp focusing on the arts accessible to kids from all income brackets.
bruce name performance video
I was once an extra in a Bruce Springsteen video where they did a live performance video at Tramps. I forget the name of the song.
food home life order outside tv
I pretty much have no life outside of the theatre. I go home every night, and I put the TV on, and I veg out and order food.
great jewish knew
I don't think I ever really knew the right words to 'Hava Nagilah,' which isn't great for a Jewish singer.
following people
Everything's always about being homogenized and following in a group. The people who stand out always have the most problems.
appreciate both cast experience forth helps life musicians performing serve solitary stage studio whether
Performing live on stage is such a community, whether it's my musicians or a cast of a show that I'm in. And then when you're in the studio or on set, it's a much more solitary experience. Both can serve me at different times in my life. And when I go back and forth from one to the other, it helps me appreciate all of them much better.
armor cover raw required
You can't be the vulnerable, transparent, raw person required to be an artist, and then cover that stuff up and meet the world with some kind of armor on. It just doesn't go.
afraid build harder learn looking paying people skin start success
The more success you get, you start to be harder on yourself or more afraid of the looking glass. You have to learn to build a thicker skin because people are paying more attention.
broadway excitement experience kid learning opening realizing thinking
That experience with 'Rent' went by so fast. I was younger. I didn't even really know what opening night was. And now I'm thinking back on the times I went to Broadway as a kid and the excitement I felt... And I'm realizing that I'm actually a part of that, so I'm learning to take it in, 'cause so often I shrug it away.
everywhere impetus since singing walking
I've been singing since I was born. It's something I do everywhere I go. In the shower, walking down the street. I don't need any impetus to do it. I just sing.
add great performance shared sing
I sing in many different colors and, hopefully, they add up to a great performance that, after you leave the theater, makes you feel like I've really shared something of myself.
buy great maybe older shows tickets younger
I keep saying, the older I get, the younger my audience gets. Because 'Wicked' and 'Rent' and 'Glee,' each one was a young audience, so it's a great thing to have, so then you know that as they get older and have kids, they'll maybe still buy tickets to my shows when I'm 80 and in Vegas!
