I wouldn't make it through the day without singing. It is my solace and my meditation and my release. It lets me know how I'm processing things, what I'm processing, if I'm out of touch in some area.

I'd love to go back and do theater. There's nothing like that instant response and the connection to a live audience.

I used to be so hard on myself. So hard on myself. Just my own worst critic to the nth degree. Absolutely undermining my confidence in every moment. Bad tape in my head all the time.

It's a lot of fun to just say to people, proudly, 'I get to play the First Lady.' It's just fun to say.

I think true beauty is everywhere. Be it. See it. Notice it. Love it. Be grateful for it. Marvel at it. It's everywhere. It's all around us all the time.

Nothing is all good or all bad, nothing is black or white, everything is just messy and human and difficult.

'Notorious' is a masterwork. I can watch it every day.
