“I have always wanted to make art that I thought was a conversation starter.”

“When I left 'Hamilton,' my goal was just to take on work that was more challenging, like, a leading lady, heavily featured role.”

“I actually thought I was going to be a politician. I like people and I like to argue, and I like to help others, which, to me, sounds like a politician, but only if you're doing it for the right reasons.”

“I like raconteurs; I like conversation. I liked the 'Tonight Show' when it was 90 minutes, I like when people aren't plugging things per se, and they're just in the moment being interesting.”

“When you're in a conversation, genuinely be in it. Stare people in their eyes. Know what you're talking about. Enjoy that moment.”

“I think a dream date for me is some kind of fantastic conversation where you end up learning something really wonderful about a person.”
