“I look at the people's careers who I want to emulate, like Audra McDonald, Kristin Chenoweth, Bernadette Peters... They've all found the key to longevity in this business, and that is diversifying, doing as many things as possible to keep yourself relevant, and so hopefully I'm on the same track as all those amazing women.”

“It's so funny because people always think of me as being a little bit country or assume that I am from the South - I don't know why!”

“I secretly love the song 'No More Tears.' It's my go-to karaoke song that I do with all my friends.”

“It's every singer's dream to get to Carnegie Hall.”

“The musical based on my life would most likely be called 'Something Fabulous.' 'Something Fabulous' - that's a great title!”

“I have two Jack Russell terriers, Harley and Gracie, who I like to go running with in the park.”

“I get nervous about everything. I think there's something wrong if you don't get nervous.”

“I am not a writer.”

“Don't get me wrong - I like to rest a little bit. But I don't do well with downtime.”

“It's so much easier to complain about something than celebrate it.”

“I'm not one of those people that goes into the movies that are based off of books going, 'I know what this is really about.' I want to go and have a good time.”

“I am constantly on the move, and if I experience foot discomfort, it makes my job really hard to do.”

“I wanted to be Whitney Houston at first, and when I started taking voice lessons, my voice teacher kind of geared me more towards opera.”

“The show tune I can never get out of my head is 'Oh, What A Beautiful Morning' from 'Oklahoma!' I don't know why.”

“I always joke that everything else that I do is to support my theater habit.”

“Well, as an actor, at least from my standpoint, I can't not like who I'm playing.”

“I'd love to do 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes' again - especially on Broadway.”

“To be a series regular for two seasons taught me so much about what it takes to be on a TV schedule and work those kind of hours and just work in front of a camera in general.”

“Being in a recording studio is a very different feel from performing onstage. I mean, obviously, you can't just go in and do what you would do onstage. It reads differently.”

“I have to say, speaking from experience, just because an actor starts out in a role in the workshop, they won't necessarily play it when it goes to Broadway.”
