Being in front of a live audience again. I get that in my concerts but there's nothing like being on Broadway.

I am a feminist with a capital 'F' .

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.

I am not so secretly a comedian. I write a lot of my own material if you've seen videos I've done. I write jokes.

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

My biggest influence is someone I really don't know at all: Tina Fey. Smart, funny, beautiful, self-deprecating, also a mom and a wife.

I feel like people used to leave their homes and go to their local theatre, and they used to watch ballet dancers and musical theatre performers and tap dancers and orchestras and dog acts. You had to leave your home, be in the presence of other people, know how to behave, and enjoy the human being whose beating heart was in front of you.
