“I'm a huge holiday person. I love having parties and giving gifts.”

“I come from the theater. Nothing is as difficult as working eight shows a week. Period. End of story.”

“Everybody's entitled to their opinions, but I don't understand why we have to saturate social media with all the negative stuff.”

“The thing about making a musical is that you can and will be replaceable really quickly.”

“People think that theater actors are too big for the camera. It's like, 'No, we're actors and we adjust for our audience.'”

“I'm a sucker for French fries - I love that they're salty!”

“My version of lip-synching is singing full-out with the track.”

“You always hear about how women working together will catfight.”

“I always thought Broadway's the goal, and then I moved out to L.A. with 'Wicked' and started doing guest-star spots and little recurring things, and I was like, 'Well, this is pretty great; I'm kind of digging this.'”

“My feet are my foundation, and they should always feel good!”

“I look at my Twitter feed sometimes, and there's just people tearing apart other performers.”

“I think the only way you can really grow is if you push yourself and put yourself in uncomfortable positions and doing things that you're not used to; it's exciting.”

“I could sit around and cry about losing jobs because I'm not a TV star, or I could go and take something into my own hands and try to make it in this world, too.”

“Theater was a big part of my life from the beginning.”

“I've been very lucky to work with a lot of amazingly supportive directors.”

“I always wanted to make an album, but I knew that I didn't want it to be a musical theater album. It's not that I don't love them - I own every musical theater album ever made - but it just didn't seem right for me.”

“The great thing about doing a series about the Broadway community is that the possibilities are endless.”

“Breakups are hard for anybody, and no matter how it happens or ends up, they're just hard.”

“I totally let myself indulge, but I make little deals with myself. If I have an extra cupcake, I'll run a couple of extra miles. I think it's all about balance and not getting into extremes with dieting and exercising. Having a healthy attitude is important, too!”

“I decided I was going to be an opera star. I was about 12.”
