I love working with a cast and a group of people every day, which is different than recording because you're usually pretty isolated and alone. They serve as a good balance for each other.

I know I'm known for singing some of those high notes but that's really not what giving someone goose bumps is all about. It's about really trying to find what makes you unique...

It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small, and the fears that once controlled me can't get to me at all.

I always use my husband's cocoa butter stuff. He has amazing skin!

Performing isn't only about the acrobatics and the high notes: It's staying in the moment, connecting with the audience in an authentic way, and making yourself real to them through the music. I am more than the notes I hit, and that's how I try to approach my life. You can't get it all right all the time, but you can try your best. If you've done that, all that's left is to accept your shortcomings and have the courage to try to overcome them.

When you sit back and you just do what you love, things happen

I don't do too much looking back and regretting things - not that I haven't made tons of mistakes. But I do think people are in our lives so we can learn lessons and evolve as better human beings.
