It's been 32 years of learning to communicate. We have had ups and downs.

I am very down to earth and practical.

It doesn't mean I'm not interested in Hollywood. I like the way it operates; I like the people who are involved and the sense of possibility. But if I ever get back in, it's not going to be as an actress.

I don't think of myself as hot or cool or anything, just a dork.

The relationships we have with people are extremely important to success on and off the job.

Theater, especially musical theater, is a collaborative endeavor. The success of the venture is about the team.

I've always been too hard on myself to behave like I've arrived or even to enjoy whatever success I've had. I've always envisioned myself higher than where I was and I still do. With each success I think, 'That's nice but I'm supposed to go there!'

We do not know, in most cases, how far social failure and success are due to heredity, and how far to environment. But environment is the easier of the two to improve.
