“Firing insults anonymously behind the keys of a message board, slandering other people's beliefs or opinions, this happens on a daily basis in my comment section or on my feed. Cyber-bullying and, further, online social ignorance, is a very real problem, typically without any real consequence.”

“When I moved out to L.A., I went on 156 auditions before I booked a single thing.”

“I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I think it's really important to remake things. If you never remake the classics, no one would know Shakespeare.”

“I don't think I know better than what the cosmos has in store for me.”

“When they made 'Rocky Horror' in the '70s, they had no idea it would become this 41-year phenomenon that it has become.”

“Everyone sort of has that voice of self-doubt in their head, but as an artist, you relinquish your right to have that voice.”

“'Rocky Horror' is not a movie - it's a movement. It is a made by the fans, and it is what it is because of what the fans have done.”

“My relationship to 'Rocky Horror' probably started when I was younger than my parents would like me to admit.”

“I don't think of bouncing between acting and singing as a transition but rather as an expansion. I love both crafts so deeply, I feel my heart and soul have no choice but to explore both. I could never choose between the two of them. I am passionate about both for equal yet different reasons.”

“I just always wanted to get married young.”

“Wearing heels is no joke.”
