I'm such a goody two-shoes, I don't even taste the fruit at the grocery store. Like oh, are these grapes good? I can't even do that. I'm that much of a rule-follower.

Don't wait for people to tell you who you are. Show them.

I think it's good to have an old fashioned musical as well as new musicals. There's a lot of room for different shows.

I didn't love stickers and unicorns and stuff, but just if I were to ride on the back of a beast to work, I want it to be a frickin' unicorn.

I learned to stop saying yes because I then have to back out. I've been trying to prioritize my health.

I think there's that weird bastardization where musical theatre actors are treated as almost like vaudevillians or circus performers - that we're somehow not good actors because we sing and dance.

Being in front of a live audience again. I get that in my concerts but there's nothing like being on Broadway.

I'm not a big weird eater-of-things. I mean honestly I would say like for me, like escargot or sweetbreads is the weirdest thing I've eaten. But I haven't eaten like bugs or... not that I know of.

I try to give the appearance that I have it all together and that I know what I'm talking about, but at the end of the day, I think I might be full of crap.

My biggest influence is someone I really don't know at all: Tina Fey. Smart, funny, beautiful, self-deprecating, also a mom and a wife.

I haven't been trying to be anything other than myself.

I wish you a joyful Christmas and a miraculous New Year.

As the purse is emptied the heart is filled.

You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.

You start with what you believe in. I believe in building a football club rather than building a football team.

Memory, like so much else, is unreliable. Not only for what it hides and what it alters, but also for what it reveals.

There is a flower, a little flower With silver crest and golden eye, That welcomes every changing hour, And weathers every sky.

The nobility of a human being is strictly independent of that of his convictions.

In economic panics throughout history, the wiping out of the savings accounts of lower earners and the middle class has often led to social revolution, sometimes violent upheavals.

Advertising is the foot on the accelerator, the hand on the throttle, the spur on the flank that keeps our economy surging forward.

When people say "clearly" something that means there's a huge crack in their argument and they know things aren't clear at all.
