Sutton Foster quotes about
I'm single. I just moved to a new city. I'm sort of starting over. I'm in Los Angeles. I don't really know what my life is right now. It's not what I thought it'd be at 37, and I think a lot of people can relate to that.
I think Amy Sherman-Palladino has a very specific voice; it's unlike anyone else on television.
I think everybody has something that takes them away or makes them happier. To some people it's baseball or sports or knitting or the movies.
I think the one thing of me that they really wanted to capitalize on is my dorkiness
I don't know, think for that relationship in particular age doesn't really come into play.
I think if I had just slowed down a little bit it could have a little easier. I multiplied how difficult it needed to be instead of just saying, fair enough. You don't have to make it hard.
People have asked if I would go back to my 20s, and I'm like, "Only if I could hold onto the wisdom and the things that I've learned." But in reality, I don't think I'd want to even go back then. I'm so happy with where I'm at. My life is very content. Everything feels really good. I wouldn't want to change any of that. I'm happy for all the ups and the downs, and everything that has led me to where I am. I wouldn't want to lose any of that.
It's a bit of an outside-in approach - so often the clothing can reveal so much about a character. It's like part of her superhero costume that she gets to put on and become someone else.
I don't think it necessarily makes me want to go back to my 20s, but what I love about playing any type of character is the escapism.
I found myself again and then found love.
I've done some TV and I've done a lot of theater, obviously, and the last character I played on Broadway was a very fast-talking broad. I'm used to learning material and words.
I am much more settled in who I am. I think a lot of your 20s is trying to figure out who you are - you're on your own, you've got you first job, you've got your first apartment, you're living away from your parents, you're just discovering who you are. I have deep, long friendships now and real relationships and I am so excited about the rest of my 40s.
I don't think of myself as a dancer. I think of myself as a singer-actress who moves really well.
I've never lied about my age.
