Keala Settle

“I wake up in the morning, and I look in a mirror, and I go, 'Is this really all I got? Is this all the universe has given me?'”

“I love people that go the distance. I hate things that are lukewarm. They've got to be one way or the other and go all the way.”

“Musically, I'm a huge fan of Stephen Sondheim, and I love, love 'Sweeney Todd.'”

“We weren't wearing shoes on a full-time basis until prom.”

“No one can bully me better than me. I'm the first person to the party going, 'Don't worry - you don't have to cut me down, 'cause I'm already there.' I struggled with all those voices and gave them so much power, to the point where they took over my life.”

“No one was created to be alone.”

“I was successfully hiding from the world on Broadway for about 25 years.”
