I worked consistently on Broadway from when I was 8 years old through 'Spring Awakening,' which I left in 2008.

I don't think I've gone a day in my life without being inspired by Celine Dion. If you would've seen me at her concert in Las Vegas - like, I'm surprised I didn't get kicked out. I was literally sitting at the edge of my seat like the happiest girl in the entire universe.

But people are going to say what they want to say. I know who I am, and I'm not perfect.

I'm dating my celebrity crush!

I always knew that I wanted to work and I knew I wanted to be a singer and an actor. I knew that every choice I made would help me get to that point. So the better the choices I made, the more of a chance I would have to get to where I wanted to be.

I've always been proud of my body, my Jewish nose and all of that. Hollywood's Hollywood, but that's not going to change.

I'm Italian and we curse a lot when we talk.
