I, for one, have a great momma.

I did clown training for months.

I come from a family of educators.

It's very unusual to be playing something other than human.

This is magic - the people of Broadway. There's nothing better!

We don't often talk about the quarter-life crisis, but it is a real thing.

I've been lucky to play strong women who are trying their hardest to do good.

I have always known mosquitoes love me, but they really love me in Central Park.

Vocally, it's important to sing every day. It's a muscle, and you have to keep it in shape.

I played Tina Denmark in Ruthless the Musical when I was 9 at the Theatre on Broadway in Denver.

Sondheim has been a part of my musical collective since I was eight. I was a dramatic little kid.

I grew up listening to cabaret. At 7 and 8 years old, I was already singing like a club performer.

I think there's something beautiful about the art of making art, and it just will live and breathe.

I don't know how to explain it, but ever since I was a little girl, I knew that I wanted to perform.

It's important to remember to pinch yourself to remind you where you came from and how lucky you are.

Since I was a little girl, I've collected ladybugs. Not real ones - I never had a weird ladybug farm!

I always have multiple ladybugs around because they're lucky, and they're good for flowers and the environment.

There's no better gift to an actor than when you walk into an audition, and the casting director is your partner.

Even though technically the fundamentals of acting are always the same in every medium, what's different is the size.

I just hope to tell stories that help change people's minds about loving and accepting others. And one of the best ways we can do that is through laughter.

Donna Summer was one of the strongest female singers in pop music. She was very underrated as a vocalist and a writer, and her songbook is just outrageous.

I started performing non-professionally at birthday parties and family gatherings doing 'Saturday Night Live' impressions at four. Then I started for real at seven.

My mom is an elementary school gym teacher and a track and cross-country coach, so she really wanted me to be a runner. But I was not a runner. I was horrible at running.
