I knew from a young age that I could sing and it was impressed upon me that if I got a classically trained education in voice, it would serve as a foundation for whatever I chose to do.

My Mom is a ballet director, so I had this idea in me that classical training is the best foundation for anything you do, so I wanted to get a classical background and voice.

The most important thing about my profession is finding the truth, finding the reality of these shows.

Im a character actor at heart.

I'm really an actor first. I'd love to do more straight plays.

Improving the world can be a nasty and ugly and difficult and dangerous business...because when you improve the world, you threaten the entrenched interests of evil people.

Then perhaps we should carve a world one day where the strength lies in who you are, rather than in what they expect you to be.

Give me an athlete and I'll give you an army.

At least once in their life, every man should feel what it's like to wear high heels.

O pusillanimous Heart, be comforted And, like a cheerful traveller, take the road Singing beside the hedge.

No law's gonna change us We have to change us Whatever god you believe in We come from the same one Strip away the fear, underneath, it's all the same love About time that we raised up!

I feel like my purpose on earth is to help other people and give good advice about some of the same things I have gone through.

I'm not a vintage/thrift shop girl. I don't have the patience.

If there were no way into God, I would not have lain in the grave of this body so long.

My sorrow is my castle.
