I started doing regional theater. My first job was "The Importance of Being Earnest" at Dallas Theater Center.

Sometimes you just can't hear yourself. Maybe ears are too close to the mouth.

Well, I'm from the South originally. I grew up in South Carolina definitely learning about manners and being proper and having to go to cotillions.

It's shocking when someone who is really bad thinks they're really good. It's heartbreaking, because singing is such a vulnerable thing to do.

I've been acting since second grade, telling stories, making my parents laugh here and there, so I'm hoping my "thing" is acting. But I also make a really good bread pudding.

I went to college at North Carolina School of the Arts and took a lot of singing classes, and it really is so connected to emotions.

You always envy someone else's life and, as a woman, you're always comparing your life to someone else's life.
