I can still impress my family, yeah. In fact, I always text my family when I meet someone famous. I ran into Anna Faris and I texted my niece, and I said "Just hugged it out with Anna Faris," and she was like, "Oh my God! OMG! OMG!" She got a big kick out of it.

Don’t deprive yourself of the exciting journey your life can be when you relinquish the need to have goals and a blueprint.

But now that I've matured, I've realized that - at the end of the day - what's really important is the work, not what people think of me.

Do I feel famous? I feel more famous than I did 10 years ago, absolutely.

I have acting technique; I have singing technique; I don't have a writing technique to fall back on.

We have some extremely talented people that we've ripped off the Broadway stage. It's awe-inspiring how talented they are, and how can-do they are. They're at that stage of life where it's like, "Yeah, let's put on a show!" That's really fun to watch.

You can't make a cloudy day a sunny day, but can embrace it and decide it's going to be a good day after all.
