I don't draw attention to myself or have security pushing people away.

There are a lot of things that you don't realize that your parents are going through when you're a kid.

And at 19, you think you rule the world, and you can control things. And a lot of times, you don't.

Broadway is really my life.

Here we are standing face to face, isn't this world a crazy place, just when I thought the chance had passed, you go and save the best for last.

My parents are both teachers, so we had the summers off.

The greatest thing about being a mother so young, I had my first child at 24, is that I cook, I clean, I love to be independent and kind of hate to be waited on and hate to be taken care of. So, I guess that demonstrates my fiercely independent nature which is kind of anti what I portray on a weekly basis.
