I'm a T-shirts, sweatpants and jeans kind of gal, I dress really simply and comfortably.

I was a very outgoing, gregarious, full-of-energy kid.

Ballet is an incredibly difficult, beautiful art form that takes a lot of training, a lot of time, and a lot of hard work.

Even when I’m not working, I’m still working on something because I just want to create something.

I don't think of myself as a dancer. I think of myself as a singer-actress who moves really well.

I made things a lot harder than they needed to be out of fear and anxiety.

I'm used to working hard. Theater can be very grueling, and that's all I've ever known. It's what I've done for 20 years, which is crazy.

I've done some TV and I've done a lot of theater, obviously, and the last character I played on Broadway was a very fast-talking broad. I'm used to learning material and words.

I feel like my life now, it's only getting better, which feels nice.

It's a bit of an outside-in approach - so often the clothing can reveal so much about a character. It's like part of her superhero costume that she gets to put on and become someone else.

It's okay not to know everything; that would have calmed me down.

Waiting, waiting, waiting. All my life, I've been waiting for my life to begin, as if somehow my life was ahead of me, and that someday I would arrive at it.

The word spiritual, not the word religious, is the key.

The more I abandon ideas of myself as a musician, the better a singer I become.

To those in the executive branch who say ‘just trust us’ when it comes to secret and warrantless surveillance of domestic communications, I say, ‘Remember your history.’

I still believe in rock and roll, it pays my bills.

Odd that we think definitions are definitive.

Part of the experience of being entertained is sitting back and plugging into someone else's vision.

I’m ready to stop waging war and start washing feet.

No human being ever spoke of scenery for above two minutes at a time, which makes me suspect that we hear too much of it in literature.

I have a very strong passion to sing and paint. I'm really a student.
