I don't think theater is dying, and musicals are a great American art form. We've got apple pie, jazz and musical theater.

We learn by watching. That's what concerns me a little about the society we're in now because so much of what we're watching is entitled, self-centered, brats with no talent becoming very, very famous for literally no reason.

Do I want to write a musical? No. I like to do musicals.

I'm such a goody two-shoes, I've never stolen a single thing. I would not be able to handle it. I would not be able to live with the guilt of having stolen something.

I did a lot of lying. I went through a big lying phase when I was in like third and fourth grade. I told all my friends I was in Les Misérables, and I was not. I also told them I was an Indian princess. Also not an Indian princess.

Just because you're a belter doesn't make you funny; it just means that's how your pipes are set up.

I think it's good to have an old fashioned musical as well as new musicals. There's a lot of room for different shows.
