My favorite thing to do is transform. The further the character is away from me the more I enjoy it.

There are definite vocal trends for every generation as well as accents and I'm not talking about regionalisms.

Think of every audition as a chance to perform and you will have fun doing it.

I was use to wearing things that accentuated and flattered my bust and waist (just shakin' what my mama gave me) and definitely not my thighs.

Try not be resentful or jealous of other people's success. Know that your path as a performer is going to be very different than others. Try your best not to compare.

I initially told people I wanted to be a dancer and ultimately a "Rockette." I didn't really know what a musical theatre performer was other than the Shirley Temple type.

I hardly ever belted; I was a soprano and a comedienne and intended on doing mostly soprano legit roles but my first equity show, to my surprise, was Blues in The Night at The Cleveland Playhouse.

When you don't get a role, it wasn't meant to be.

I love performing in a good straight play as well and I'm a crossover actor, I crossover from plays to musicals, musicals to plays. This is very difficult for performers.

You did say something I found offensive yesterday.What was that?I believe the word you used was friends.

The universe is almost 14 billion years old, and, wow! Life had no problem starting here on Earth! I think it would be inexcusably egocentric of us to suggest that we're alone in the universe.

When you use the steroids, you use them for a long time. When you use the steroids for a long time, you have a problem. It’s a drug and it’s not good for the sport.

I'm not a gamer. But I am very aware of the escapism of drugs. In my mind those kind of do the same thing. They dull us to the aches and pains of our status quo.

I'm really fun. I'm ridiculously fun. I hope I'm infectiously fun.

As my mind can conceive of more good, the barriers and blocks dissolve. My life becomes full of little miracles popping up out of the blue.

What women have achieved in the last 50 years, I wish men would have achieved in the last 100.

Salvation for our educational ills... will have to come from within an educational community willing to say we have met the enemy and it is us.

In the divorce my ex got everything. Even kept her composure
