what-you-love happens things-happen
When you sit back and you just do what you love, things happen
reason happens-for-a-reason happens
Things happen for a reason, and in their own time.
nerves alive overconfident
Nerves are good. They keep you alive.
outsiders oddballs yeah
The one who tried too hard, the outsider, the oddball. Yeah, that was me.
follow-me
Not like [Adele Dazeems] going to follow me around for the rest of my life.
olaf frozen cold
The cold never bothered me anyway.
leave love stage
I will never leave the theater. My heart is there, and I love being on stage 8 times a week.
contrast genre music
They're always so serious, the orchestras, you know? It's always a fun contrast of that song and the genre of music. And me.
everywhere impetus since singing walking
I've been singing since I was born. It's something I do everywhere I go. In the shower, walking down the street. I don't need any impetus to do it. I just sing.
following people
Everything's always about being homogenized and following in a group. The people who stand out always have the most problems.
funny love needs played version women
I would love to play 'Funny Girl' or 'Evita,' but I idolize the women who have played those parts. I don't know if there needs to be another version of those shows.
absorb accolades allow country hard rest
It's hard to absorb and to allow all that attention and accolades for 'Rent' because the rest of the country doesn't know who we are. Once I walk out of the door of 'Rent,' and I'm on the subway, it doesn't matter. It's an exaggerated sense of fame.
coming finding harnessing learning power strength
For me, 'Rent' was all about coming out of myself, finding out who I was, learning the power I could have as a performer. And 'Wicked' was about harnessing all that strength.
studied
Growing up I studied classically and did lots of shows in school.
