My parents were in 'Brigadoon' on Broadway when I was a couple of years old.

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.

In the darkness time, no human can save you, only the sacred divine light.

People blush at praise--not only praise of their bodies, but praise of anything that is theirs.

If you want to avoid Alzheimer's disease, sleep 8 hours a night.

The press is like the peculiar uncle you keep in the attic - just one of those unfortunate things.

One should always look to the end of everything, how it will finally come out. For the god has shown blessedness to many only to overturn them utterly in the end.

I was as content Off-Broadway as I was in a big Hollywood movie, and, I just try to be content wherever I am, you know.

Life on earth, filled with uncertainty and change, seemed far more difficult than what lay beyond the grave.

I know of nobody who is purely autistic, or purely neurotypical. Even God has some autistic moments, which is why the planets spin.

I have a difficult time sitting down for long periods.

Nonviolence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind.
