I grew up sort of a geeky, tall kid, and I think I was always the one trying to make my friends laugh.

I loved New York, but I never quite felt like New York was my home either.

I don't think of myself as a dancer. I think of myself as a singer-actress who moves really well.

I've never had to deal with ageism - so far - in my career; I have been able to navigate my career and getting older and the roles and opportunities that have come to me.

I've done some TV and I've done a lot of theater, obviously, and the last character I played on Broadway was a very fast-talking broad. I'm used to learning material and words.

So I'm studying ballet every day and really training so people will see me as a ballet dancer, which no one's seen before.

I think everybody has something that takes them away or makes them happier. To some people it's baseball or sports or knitting or the movies.
