I've done a ton of theater work and dramatic work, but nobody really knows me that way.

I'm not a standup, but I play one on TV.

You know, once somebody knows you can sing Elphaba, it's like being able to sing Evita - people shut up about it already.

It’s funny, there are so many women who are former executives and have taken all that stress and anxiety and transferred it onto their kids.

Comedy's been really liberating for me because I've been able to sneak the singing part in through the back door.

Losing yourself in the character opens you up in a way that no amount of precise preparation can.

I always tried not to be too mean, but my problem is that the people I tend to find hilarious don't usually have senses of humor. So interacting with them is a little bit of an awkward engagement, because I can't really make them laugh, on top of which I've been doing an impression of them.
