I was hugely relieved to discover there was a purpose for girls with loud voices.

I love Mary Chapin Carpenter songs. I love her songs 'Come On, Come On' and 'I Am A Town', they're two of my favorite songs.

Our stories are different; our pain is the same.

Broadway has changed tremendously from the early days when the shows were referred to as musical comedies. Musical Theater is now a more expanded art form. Back then, singer/actors were not the norm. From the 60's to now, it is necessary to do it all to be a consummate Broadway performer.

There's a lot of maintenance that goes into being a professional singer.

It was critical to finding a way out. I had assumed young women knew the history of feminism and must have felt gratitude to the movement for the opportunities that the work we have done has afforded them.

We cant compare stories. We can only know in our hearts that we are the same. That may be the best we can do.
