“When you get to Hollywood, it takes you out of your life. It makes you feel cool when you think about all the great things to come out of this town.”

“It's important to believe in yourself because if you don't believe in yourself, then no one else can believe in you.”

“'Once on This Island' is one of my favorite musicals, so to have the lead in that would be great.”

“I was one of the ones in my generation who actually did connect with 'The Wiz,' even though it was not on Broadway or the movie wasn't big anymore by the time I was of age to notice. But I was into it in middle school.”

“I think it'd be cool to be in film and television, but I never thought that would happen.”
