I learned to focus and work hard and not give up. I learned that every obstacle is really an opportunity.

I wasn't a huge fan of reality shows, because I'm like 'they're taking away from the actors,' but sometimes mindless is just wonderful.

I started when I was in 'The King and I' when I was on Broadway when I was nine.

A mistake is just a temporary pause in your plan.

If you say, 'You've made it,' then you kind of come to a standstill, and I don't think any actor wants to do that.

Watching Bernadette Peters perform is like an acting class. She's amazing.

I wanted to be a vet when I was little, so it never really dawned on me that acting was my career, it sort of chose me more than I chose it.
