“The first Broadway show I saw was when I was 11. I saw ‘Hair.”

The musical stuff I’d go up for was always funny, sexy, tough-as-nails, heart-of-gold characters.

On the rare occasions I go to the gym, I prefer silence.

When I was born, they put casts on my legs ’cause I had some kind of dysplasia or something. My legs were all messed up.

I don’t see myself as a diva at all.

I don’t see my dancing or acting as two separate things. I don’t define them separately, so I can’t say one has helped the other, It’s all the same thing.

More than anything I love being on stage and performing

I’ve never danced professionally as a ballet dancer, but all of my training is ballet, and I am a Fosse dancer.

Creating a role is an interesting thing – each show or each situation is different.

Artists need to express.

I am a very complicated person.

I think that applies to their chosen profession, friends and relationships. It goes for your health too. If you are true to yourself, it seems to me everything should work out pretty well

I can act. I can sing. But I am a dancer

She was wonderful – just a kind, big-hearted, filthy girl. Somehow she could be vulgar without being vulgar.

In New York I was always offered the hot, sexy roles. But in L.A. I was offered the plain, dowdy roles. It says a lot about the difference between the coasts

I missed New York. Every break I had from the series, I’d fly back to the East Coast just to get back onstage.

You have to be aware. Like, I’m not going to do any downhill skiing. It looks like a whole lot of fun, but I’m not going to risk breaking a leg.

If, for instance, we’d made the film after the show had been to Broadway, it would have been exactly the same film but we would have been assured that they would have understood it.

I live in one of the coastal cities in Southern California, and every so often I like to take a walk down the boardwalk in Venice during the weekends when it is abuzz with lively activity.

I started in the music business I was first introduced to 1650 Broadway, uh, which was in reality where everything happened in the ’60s.

One of the first memories I have was watching Whoopi Goldberg perform her one-woman show on Broadway on HBO.

Maybe I could be Supergirl on Broadway! That would be perfect.

OK, Supergirl is number one. Maybe I could be Supergirl on Broadway That would be perfect.

But I started in theater and I’d love to be on Broadway.

I would love to do Broadway. I dont think theres anything more amazing than theater.
