I was always a little adult. Even as a little kid, I just couldn't understand why I was surrounded by all these kids. I took things very seriously.

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.

The day after Paul Newman was dead, he was twice as dead.

Be the love the world needs. Think and act from your heart.

The best way to get through any challenge is to step back, look up at the sky, breathe deeply in and out, smile if you have to…then dive in.

We're living through the greatest jobs theft in the history of the world. Our jobs have been stolen from us and we have people that don't know what they are doing, in particular our leadership.

We've got paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions, and god-like technologies.

This post-college world felt different from everything that had come before it.

Material blessings, when they pay beyond the category of need, are weirdly fruitful of headache.

You have learned enough to see that cats are much like you and me.

The whole concept of the devil is a metaphor on one level.

I was informed yesterday that there's a Twitter account for my laugh. Very hard to get used to things like that. Pretty amazing.
