The one who tried too hard, the outsider, the oddball. Yeah, that was me.

I find that, maybe because I'm also a singer, I hear music in characters all the time, even if they don't sing. I hear what affects me in my heart.

I will never leave the theater. My heart is there and I love being on stage eight times a week.

The cold never bothered me anyway.

I love my husband very much. I knew it was real true love because I felt like I could be myself around that person. Your true, true innermost authentic self, the stuff you don't let anyone else see, if you can be that way with that person, I think that that's real love.

I definitely use my music to kind of alleviate my stress and get me through specific moments in time where I'm just being really tough on myself.

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.
