I'd love to be able to be invisible, because I like to eavesdrop.

Nobody is ever just a straight up protagonist or antagonist - everybody's morally ambiguous.

Initially, in starting to pick the songs for the live show, it was really a matter of picking songs that I loved over the years. As far as the album goes, it happened very naturally.

Looking at the original lyrics [of "A Song For You" ] as I was preparing it, I thought, "Wow! I feel like it was written for me." That's what a great song does. You don't have to do a lot of homework. You can just say the words and it springs to life.

I'm a Broadway baby, through and through. It's my first love, and it's what brought me to New York in the first place.

Theater dressing rooms are my home away from home - my second home, really.

You sing songs hundreds of times over and over, but certain ones just morph and naturally, as you age and get life experience, take on a different form as well. When I was looking at songs for the album, I thought, "Which are the ones that connect with me the most? What do I think would work in album form?" Almost all of them I've done in shows.
