I look at my Twitter feed sometimes, and there's just people tearing apart other performers.
I'm not one of those people that goes into the movies that are based off of books going, 'I know what this is really about.' I want to go and have a good time.
I always wanted to make an album, but I knew that I didn't want it to be a musical theater album. It's not that I don't love them - I own every musical theater album ever made - but it just didn't seem right for me.
I have two Jack Russell terriers, Harley and Gracie, who I like to go running with in the park.
The show tune I can never get out of my head is 'Oh, What A Beautiful Morning' from 'Oklahoma!' I don't know why.
I always joke that everything else that I do is to support my theater habit.
As an actress, I learned a long time ago that there is a lot of this business that is just out of my hands. All I can really focus on is going to work every day and doing my best.
Breakups are hard for anybody, and no matter how it happens or ends up, they're just hard.
The musical based on my life would most likely be called 'Something Fabulous.' 'Something Fabulous' - that's a great title!
I always thought Broadway's the goal, and then I moved out to L.A. with 'Wicked' and started doing guest-star spots and little recurring things, and I was like, 'Well, this is pretty great; I'm kind of digging this.'
I'm a sucker for French fries - I love that they're salty!
I have to say, speaking from experience, just because an actor starts out in a role in the workshop, they won't necessarily play it when it goes to Broadway.
You always hear about how women working together will catfight.
To be a series regular for two seasons taught me so much about what it takes to be on a TV schedule and work those kind of hours and just work in front of a camera in general.
