“I'd been a wedding singer through college, but after a few years of do...” — Idina Menzel Quote

I'd been a wedding singer through college, but after a few years of doing my best renditions of jazz standards to clinking glasses and the sound of forks on salad, I thought, 'Oh God, if this is all I do, I'll never be able to live with myself.'

After 'Rent,' I tried to make a record, and it didn't work out, and it was the Broadway community that welcomed me back. It's where I feel the most understood, most at home.

I will never leave the theater. My heart is there and I love being on stage eight times a week.

I'd love to open a camp focusing on the arts accessible to kids from all income brackets.

The lehenga I was wearing for my wedding weighed almost 10 kilos. It was a challenge, but I gave it my best.

I have a memory of my mother kneeling in front of a cabinet in our home, tenderly cradling her wedding china. We never used the plates; she died in her 40s without ever letting herself enjoy these gorgeous pieces. I told myself that I would use my precious items.

It is sweet that people want to know everything about my wedding, but they should also respect my privacy.

Having made all the decisions, I think a wedding day is a day when you want to forget what you are wearing and be in the moment.
