We all have to go through our own experiences of growing up.

Going to Broadway - then to be invited to the Tonys - I really tap into what that feels like now to fulfill lifetime goals.

When you do something eight times a week, you fall into those little places where sometimes things can get a bit stagnant. That's why I always welcome a new face on the stage.

My mother had people lay hands on me to cast demons out of me when I was 8. Then two or three times when I was in college.

I like my cheese, I like my milk in my coffee, and nobody's gonna tell me any different.

Just stay present in the moment, and what will come will come.

I don't think I've grown up easily.

I wasn't ready for 'Bright Star' to end when it did.

I love 'South Pacific.' It's got beautiful music. But there have been so many, you know, renditions of this in high school or college productions.

It's nice to be able to go do what I love and come home - and get in my own bed.

I think I've gotten to the point in my life where I have to do everything that I'm scared of because you're not going to learn anything if you don't, so you just have to dive in the deep end and see if you can swim.

I've been singing Rodgers and Hammerstein all my life.
