Late night writing is also good, too, but in New York, you’ve got neighbors. I try to be a good neighbor.
I love the morning time. There’s something about having the day in front of you.
If I get frustrated, the first thing I’ll do is get up from the piano – completely mindlessly – and walk over to the cupboard and pull out something salty to eat.
I have a tendency when I feel myself getting stuck, my impulse is to go to my cupboard and find chips to eat.
I love the morning time – a cup of coffee and to sit at the piano, that’s probably my favorite time.
The music industry can feel wonderful, but it can also feel very cold.
I’m happy to be working with all women.
I am passionate about young women and advocating for them.
The struggle is to stay present enough when you’re taking your next step forward that you’re really making your most honest choices.
My proudest moment of my career was opening night in Cambridge and watching the cast take their curtain call. No one was looking at me, and I was floating off the ground. It was just euphoric.
When I look back, I was so mean to myself, and I was so uncomfortable in my own skin. I still feel that very loudly sometimes, but to try and really nurture that sense that you are your own friend.
I certainly have dreams of being on a Broadway stage someday, if they’ll have me. I think I want to stay really open to whatever possibilities present themselves.
There are so many wonderful classic roles, but I also would be really interested in developing something brand new. I think my heart would probably be in developing something brand new; I think that sounds really exciting.
I’m that person who owns all of the seasons on DVDs, including the Lifetime intimate portraits showcasing The Golden Girls. I am a massive fan. I think I’m Dorothy. She’s my favorite.
I go straight for Seinfeld, Modern Family, Friends, and Golden Girls. Those are my pillars of strength on TV.
I got really into rock – soft, romantic rock was my jam.
I’d like to think I could physically manage doing that, but I don’t think it feels authentic to the kind of performer that I am. I think that, for me, being stationary and just sort of singing the songs seems to be the most connected and authentic expression for me on stage.
I think it’s one of those things about live performance – anything goes, anything can happen, and you have to just be ready and able to roll with the punches.
My dance move has seemingly turned into push-ups. Sometimes, especially if I’ve indulged a little bit in an evening, it’s not out of the ordinary to find me, for some reason, doing push-ups. That seems to be my go-to dance move.
I don’t like karaoke very much. I like being around it, but I don’t like singing it. If I had to sing a karaoke song, it’s usually “Son of a Preacher Man” by Dusty Springfield.
