I've finally graduated from 'I don't give a hoot.

But there's the beauty of life beyond the bubble. It's possible for someone to see your wicked bits and still love you.

I'm trying to learn, as I'm in my 40s, to embrace what I've been able to achieve and be proud of it. And I know there's roles that I will want to play before I die but, you know, I'm still just taking one day at a time.

Lots of these songs I hadn't performed, but I've always wanted to. These are songs that I wanted to get in my wheelhouse. I sang them over and over and over and over again. Of course, I've fallen in love with them all.

Chicago - it's a mini-New York.

I was a spiritual kid.

I think, for me, I have to remember that I'm telling a story in some way.
