Being in a recording studio is a very different feel from performing onstage. I mean, obviously, you can't just go in and do what you would do onstage. It reads differently.
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.
I think the only way you can really grow is if you push yourself and put yourself in uncomfortable positions and doing things that you're not used to; it's exciting.
I look at my Twitter feed sometimes, and there's just people tearing apart other performers.
I get nervous about everything. I think there's something wrong if you don't get nervous.
I always joke that everything else that I do is to support my theater habit.
Everybody's entitled to their opinions, but I don't understand why we have to saturate social media with all the negative stuff.
The great thing about doing a series about the Broadway community is that the possibilities are endless.
My feet are my foundation, and they should always feel good!
I look at the people's careers who I want to emulate, like Audra McDonald, Kristin Chenoweth, Bernadette Peters... They've all found the key to longevity in this business, and that is diversifying, doing as many things as possible to keep yourself relevant, and so hopefully I'm on the same track as all those amazing women.
I always thought Broadway's the goal, and then I moved out to L.A. with 'Wicked' and started doing guest-star spots and little recurring things, and I was like, 'Well, this is pretty great; I'm kind of digging this.'
