“I always try to make sure that I stay connected to theater so I continue to be inspired. Not that I'm not inspired by television.”

“My grandmother is very liberal, but... she still has her opinions.”

“I still see myself on TV and think, 'Oh my God, I'm on a television, and there are millions of people watching,' and I get really nervous and embarrassed and insecure.”

“I want everyone who's listening to know who I am and not just see me as this singer. I want them to feel connected to my story.”

“I really feel that the best actors out there are very centric. They're really connected. They're not in a, 'What about me' state, and I think that's a good lesson in life.”

“I want to keep an element of myself in every character I play. And maybe that's connected to finding something that you like in every character. Maybe they coincide.”
