Every time I see a live performance of something, I'm like, 'I want to be doing that!'
I'm not one of those people that goes into the movies that are based off of books going, 'I know what this is really about.' I want to go and have a good time.
As an actress, I learned a long time ago that there is a lot of this business that is just out of my hands. All I can really focus on is going to work every day and doing my best.
I've never been so star struck in my life as when I met President Obama and Bill Clinton... and at the same time, no less! I'm not one to be at a loss for words, and that was a moment when I really was speechless. It was a big, big night.
Yes, yes, theater in general is just going to always be my first love, performing for a live audience.
Breakups are hard for anybody, and no matter how it happens or ends up, they're just hard.
I could sit around and cry about losing jobs because I'm not a TV star, or I could go and take something into my own hands and try to make it in this world, too.
I am constantly on the move, and if I experience foot discomfort, it makes my job really hard to do.
I always wanted to make an album, but I knew that I didn't want it to be a musical theater album. It's not that I don't love them - I own every musical theater album ever made - but it just didn't seem right for me.
My feet are my foundation, and they should always feel good!
I'm a sucker for French fries - I love that they're salty!
I'm a huge holiday person. I love having parties and giving gifts.
Theater was a big part of my life from the beginning.
Well, as an actor, at least from my standpoint, I can't not like who I'm playing.
