My mom's side of the family is from Arkansas!
I love playing an ingenue, and I love doing revivals, and I will continue to do that.
I'm proud to be Irish.
My father named me Kelli because 'Kelli O'Hara' just sounded so Irish.
I'm a mother, and when you have children, there's a protection. You'll do a lot to protect them, to do what's best for them.
I've always wanted to do a Shakespeare play.
We didn't have a lot of live theater in Oklahoma. I didn't visit New York when I was growing up. I watched movie musicals, and I believed in an idealistic, idyllic version of Broadway.
I don't read reviews, because if you believe the good ones, you have to believe the bad.
If I get tickled in a certain way, I actually lose the ability to stand. I don't mean to, but something happens to my knees, and I fall on the ground.
I don't have that many family and friends.
With a revival, you're compared to somebody else.
I love to play things that are out-of-the-box. It's just that I don't always get the chance to do it!
