I'm really good at gymnastics, and that's about it.
I saw some musicals at dinner theaters where I grew up. But I didn't go to a big theater to see one until probably after I graduated from high school when I took myself to see 'Tommy' when it was on tour. I absolutely loved it.
I've always been really comfortable around athletics, I've just never been comfortable playing anything.
I grew up as a Mormon, and that had more of an impact on my values than my beliefs. I'm afraid I will always feel the weight of a lie. I'm very hard on myself anyway. Religious guilt carries over too. You can't really misbehave without feeling badly about it. At least, I can't.
I do believe that you don't have to act like a man to be strong. You can still be feminine.
That's how I prepare for anything - I read whatever I can get my hands on, talk to people. I'm a bit of a nerd like that.
It's just very homey in Ireland. It's very comforting and comfortable. There's lots of fireplaces with fires. It's just really cozy.
I like Cinderella - she has a good work ethic and she likes shoes.
You're nothing to me until you're everything
We’re only here briefly. And while I’m here I want to allow myself joy.
Falling in love is a crazy thing to do. It's kind of like a form of socially acceptable insanity.
You know, I love traveling and I love being exposed to different cultures, but really it's the people that I've met along the way, not the places I've been, that have opened my eyes.
My natural response to a stressful situation is to shut down. I do weird things, like, I don't cry, I get really cold.
My dad is a singer. He used to sing in nightclubs, or pizza joints.
