When I'm doing a one-on-one with somebody, I have to speak in a language that that person can understand, using a vocabulary that they instantly get, and I always have to feel my way around to figure that out. It's a lot of fun, and it's also really challenging - challenging in a different way from performing.

Don't expect a pat on the back for merely doing your job, but know that you'll get one for doing it exceptionally well.

My singing technique is really strong and I have to thank my teachers for really instilling a sense of discipline about how to sing properly and how to maintain your voice in a run.

I can't be an ingenue forever, and I wouldn't want to be.

Love your enemies... it's not always an easy tenet to live by... and I have more often than not been inclined to wish my enemies ill than well.

I like vodka tonics and gin & tonics. I also like gimlets. I like things that have sweetness with a bit of a kick.

I play video games a lot... I love to read... I enjoy spending time with my husband and daughter, who are my most favorite people in the world.
