Yes, I have a good sense of humor to sort of last a long time in show business, and I think to be able to find comedic value in who you are and the people that you work is always a good thing.
The fact that I even get in Broadway shows is, to me, still amazing, but then to win a Tony was just incredible.
I think of the Roundabout as my musical theater family here in New York City.
Cheyenne Jackson is just a dream.
When I do scenes with Alec Baldwin, he just stares at my boobs. That's how good of an actor he is, he finds a way.
I had a really tragic cut at the beginning of Season 2 of 'Ally McBeal.' Someone convinced me that it would be good to layer my hair. I basically looked like Ronald McDonald.
I still get thrilled by the energy that is a live performance, the fear and the panic and the electricity that happens on the night. I think jolting myself every once in a while with that fear is a good thing for me.
I was one of those people who watched and videotaped the Tonys every year and kept a highlight reel every year. I saw every Broadway show as a kid.
Oh, I'll tell you about 'Anyone Can Whistle' - the lesson I learned with doing that record is that the simplest songs are the hardest to do.
I never thought I'd sing or dance on national television.
If I could do theater during the hiatus and then do '30 Rock' in the winter, that would be my ideal job.
If I'm ever lucky enough to be part of an awards tribute, I hope they play 'Muffin Top' in my little clip. That's how I want to be remembered.
My new favourite smell is new baby smell. It makes me so happy. If someone could bottle that, I'd love to have it.
My parents were involved in community theater in New Jersey. Instead of hiring a baby sitter, they would take me with them. So my love of acting seeped in from watching my parents and seeing them having fun.
