It's important to be able to keep things fresh, no matter what age you are, or how many years you've been in the industry.
There's nothing like the buzz of live theater. You put it out there and receive an instant reaction: laughing, crying, yelling, applauding.
I grew up on a tiny little island.
We all have an escape. Mine was theater.
I've found that musical theater is my passion.
I would love to have a varied career, like Hugh Jackman. He started in musical theater, then established himself in film, but he still does a lot of stage work. And he does it all beautifully.
I want to make smart choices.
I'd love to be a 'Bond' girl.
I began with dance, doing ballet at 3, then tap, jazz, modern. Then I sang in church choirs, learned how to play clarinet and drums, sang with rock bands and only then did I get into musical theatre.
I just sing the songs that people don't expect you to sing, because I just love having fun at karaoke and I'm always a bit nervous to sing something serious.
I love singing some Johnny Cash, which is interesting because it's in a guy's key; I love singing Elvis Presley.
It's important to make your social life and your friends and family - make that a priority.
I like to walk around Central Park and take in the vibe, have a picnic if the weather is good, and people-watch.
You don't realize how much you miss it until you get back onstage and feel that buzz.
I grew up on such a small island, and professional theater seemed so far away. I never, ever thought I'd get so lucky to be appearing in movies.
I absolutely love my fans, and I get to chat to them a lot on Twitter, and that's why I think Twitter is really great. They call themselves 'The Sprouts' and they are really, really wonderful, so passionate, and they make me smile.
I'm always at my fittest when I'm doing a show - even when you're not on stage, you are running around backstage doing quick changes.
