I am an optimistic lady.

Mary Poppins is magical and fun.

I've never minded being disciplined. I'd always rather have a quiet evening in than go to a wild party. Discipline for me has always been the foundation which leaves me free to fly.

I am told that the first comprehensible word I uttered as a child was 'home.

And I think as long as a song has beautiful lyrics, I'm so happy.

Don't you get a swollen head. There's always someone who could come and do what you do, maybe even better, so be grateful and work hard.

I'm thrilled in a way because musicals should be preserved. It's mostly unique to America, and they give us so much joy.
