An athlete learns how to hold her breath, but that doesn't work in singing. You have to learn to relax.

It's that athlete's obsessiveness - the need to prove yourself and work harder than anybody else. I think it's what helped me do well in the theater.

I never realized until recently how much my life parallels Peter Pan.

Flying is such a joy. You just want to hoot.

Actually, performing is a lot like golf. You are alone, so vulnerable.

I remember secretly going off and crying. All of a sudden I'm being blocked and have to be intimate in a scene, and I'm going, 'I can't even look people in the eye very well. How am I ever going to do this?'
