Everything that I have ever hoped to accomplish, she has done and done better than anyone I have ever seen.

Mia: I can't do this, I'm a girl. Gym Teacher Harbula: What am I? A duck?

I believe I've always been a big believer in equality. No one has ever been able to tell me I couldn't do something because I was a girl.

It's definitely a thing to be sitting there, getting a pedicure, and you look over and someone is reading an article about an aspect of your life that you know is not true. It's weird, it's uncomfortable, but I don't see it changing anytime soon, so I should figure a way to laugh through it.

There's no magic bullet; there's no pill that you take that makes everything great and makes you happy all the time. I'm letting go of those expectations, and that's opening me up to moments of transcendent bliss. But I still feel the stress over 'Am I thin enough? Am I too thin? Is my body the right shape?'

I found it liberating to sing on camera. On stage, you have to indicate having a thought, and the word you are singing must indicate it as well, but on camera, you can have ideas, you can take in all the stimuli that the character would be taking in, there's a freedom you get, and you don't have the obligation to transmit each idea to the back of the house. It felt so much closer to reality for me.

The best part about working is that you never know what you're going to learn when you start out.
