People saw me as just a singer - yeah, a pretty face who could sing - and not more than that.

It's every actor's dream to work in a hit show on Broadway and also shoot a television show.

I still sing every day - in the shower or on the set all day. I'm sure everyone will tell you that I never shut up. But it's not in the capacity that I would like to.

It used to be that you kind of got pigeonholed into one thing - you're either a stage actor or a TV actor or a movie actor. Today, there's a lot of crossover with film actors doing television, which never happened before, so those lines are a little bit more blurred than they used to be.

Things don't always tie up in a nice bow. Even when you make strides with people and relationships, it's complicated.

'Rent' was my first professional job, ever.

It's interesting, a lot of my friends and family thought that was the moment I kind of showed everyone my humor; the silly side of me that friends and family know, so that could be what people were responding to. I have a big sense of humor, and people who know me know that silly side of me, so moving forward, I think it gives me the freedom and confidence to do more of that.
