For me, Twitter has given me a direct line to the world - it gave me an opportunity to be like, "This is my voice.

Don't wait for people to tell you who you are. Show them.

I think it's good to have an old fashioned musical as well as new musicals. There's a lot of room for different shows.

I didn't love stickers and unicorns and stuff, but just if I were to ride on the back of a beast to work, I want it to be a frickin' unicorn.

I learned to stop saying yes because I then have to back out. I've been trying to prioritize my health.

There's no such thing as simple. Simple is hard.

I never really understood how movies were made, because it was such a technical accomplishment.

Getting recognized is sort of weird anyway. I'm 17 now. You get the odd person sort of shouting out "Ron!" or something. And my hair at the moment sort of stands out a bit, can't really avoid it.
