I think I'm going to have to live vicariously through my daughter's rebellion because I certainly never did go through adolescence.

I have a place in the Broadway community that can only be earned.

I was always considered the athletic one, and that translated into big. I was the big one. Thankfully, so many more body types are accepted these days. What I've been trying to do, and I'm seeing more now with my girlfriends, too, is celebrate other people.

I was Hannah Montana's mother ... Where did I go wrong?

I'm so naive about finances. Once when my mother mentioned an amount and I realized I didn't understand, she had to explain: 'That's like three Mercedes.' Then I understood.

Don't waste a minute not being happy. If one window closes, run to the next window- or break down a door.

Eight shows a week is daunting, and it can be terrifying. But it just instills such a sense of confidence and growth.
