You don't need to look like everybody else. Love who you are.

I'm very comfortable with my own body. I come from Broadway — everybody's naked on Broadway. I like to think of myself as more granola. I'm not going to run around naked or anything like that unless I'm at my own home. Today, I walked into my backyard and was standing out there naked for a while. Don't tell: my neighbors will freak out!

I was never pretty enough to be the pretty girl and I was never quirky enough to be the quirky girl. Boys didn't look at me in high school and think I was the pretty girl.

I've known since day one of working on Spring Awakening - back in 1999 - that it was special.

Uniqueness is what makes you the most beautiful.

It is important to have someone that supports you and encourage you, someone that makes you feel that you are unstoppable, that you can do anything in the world because you have him.

How many managers told me, 'Get a nose job. You're not pretty enough'? But I proved them wrong.
