outsiders oddballs yeah
The one who tried too hard, the outsider, the oddball. Yeah, that was me.
nerves alive overconfident
Nerves are good. They keep you alive.
stress being-real just-being
I definitely use my music to kind of alleviate my stress and get me through specific moments in time where I'm just being really tough on myself.
unique giving singing
I know I'm known for singing some of those high notes, but that's really not what giving someone goosebumps is all about. It's about really trying to find what makes you unique.
reason happens-for-a-reason happens
Things happen for a reason, and in their own time.
husband real love-is
I love my husband very much. I knew it was real true love because I felt like I could be myself around that person. Your true, true innermost authentic self, the stuff you don't let anyone else see, if you can be that way with that person, I think that that's real love.
distance frozen seems
It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small, and the fears that once controlled me can't get to me at all.
what-you-love happens things-happen
When you sit back and you just do what you love, things happen
character heart singers
I find that, maybe because I'm also a singer, I hear music in characters all the time, even if they don't sing. I hear what affects me in my heart.
real trying done
Performing isn't only about the acrobatics and the high notes: It's staying in the moment, connecting with the audience in an authentic way, and making yourself real to them through the music. I am more than the notes I hit, and that's how I try to approach my life. You can't get it all right all the time, but you can try your best. If you've done that, all that's left is to accept your shortcomings and have the courage to try to overcome them.
role-models roles being-true
Being a role model is about being true to myself.
trying done overcoming
You can't get it all right all the time, but you can try your best. If you've done that, all that's left is to accept your shortcomings and have the courage to try to overcome them.
cool everybody hit thinks
Everybody thinks it's going to be so glamorous, so cool, you're on 'Glee,' you know, a hit show or whatever.
buy great maybe older shows tickets younger
I keep saying, the older I get, the younger my audience gets. Because 'Wicked' and 'Rent' and 'Glee,' each one was a young audience, so it's a great thing to have, so then you know that as they get older and have kids, they'll maybe still buy tickets to my shows when I'm 80 and in Vegas!
