“I feel like I’ve been dealing with that building over the years because of the Broadway community, so I’m treating it in the same way – I’ve always tried to keep my personal life private. I didn’t get into this business for notoriety or fame. I don’t go to places to be seen and that’s not going to change.”

Things don’t always tie up in a nice bow. Even when you make strides with people and relationships, it’s complicated.

I watch a lot of television. I always have.

Sometimes chemistry does the trick, and other times, you have to forge that with the people.

You always have to make positive choices as an actor, even when you’re playing someone who may not be doing the best things.

People saw me as just a singer – yeah, a pretty face who could sing – and not more than that.

I’m ready and open to meeting the person that hopefully I’ll share my life with. It takes a long time to get to that place.

What is wrong with you people?

After 9/11, the amount of applicants the FBI received increased exponentially. Whereas you used to require a college degree, and it was a small group of people who were just out of college, after 9/11, it changed.

I was a very awkward high schooler, especially in early high school. I had the middle part with a swoop, all that. It was the late ’90s!

Singing for stage, if you don’t hear yourself, that’s when you push, and that’s when you can hurt your voice sometimes. So if I can hear myself in my ear, it really helps me to find that balance of how loud I needed to be singing.

Once I came to acting, it was almost a thing where there weren’t enough hours in the day to work on stuff because I was so passionate about it.

Coming from a background of being onstage, you’re onstage for two and a half hours and you’re in it for the whole time no matter what you’re doing. Even if you don’t have a line, you have to stay in it.

I watched so many movies when I was a kid, and I’d watch them over and over.

In an ideal world for me, I would like to go back and forth [between film and theater]. I kind of want to do it all

Life doesn’t move in a linear fashion. Life makes lefts and rights, and it doubles back.

I was very unsure about what I wanted to do in high school.

Whether it’s animated, whether it’s live-action, whether it’s Broadway, whether it’s television, a musical is a musical is a musical.

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.
