“I started acting as a child in Community Theatre but I didn't do any s...” — Michelle Williams Quote

“I started acting as a child in Community Theatre but I didn't do any serious stuff. It was all musicals like 'Annie' and 'Wizard of Oz.' I was always in the chorus.”

“Grief is like a moving river, so that's what I mean by it's always changing. It's a strange thing to say because I'm at heart an optimistic person, but I would say in some ways it just gets worse. It's just that the more time that passes, the more you miss someone.”

“Maybe it has something to do with turning 30. I don't feel as shy or nervous or self-conscious. I have more confidence that I can handle what life brings me. I don't feel scared to have an idea and express it.”

“I released my own album, had a hit single, met people like Annie Lennox and Stevie Nicks. I even won an Ivor Novello award.”

“When I was six years old my friend was auditioning for 'Annie,' and I decided I wanted to audition with her. My mom was worried I would fall flat on my face because I'd never opened my mouth to sing, so she sent me to vocal lessons. I did the audition and fell in love with the entire process of a show.”

“My idols are Janis Joplin and Annie Lennox, who are neither of them from the typical pop culture.”
