Not everyone is going to like what you do or what you have to offer. However, if you can’t see yourself doing anything else, and you have the drive and ambition, get the training and go for it.
I’m an actress and a singer and I’m also a Christian. We’re not all crazy right-wingers. I just want to be like Jesus, forgiving and loving and nonjudgmental, accepting of everyone even if they don’t agree.
They had me all happy, singing. It was very awkward. I think the writers are frantically planning something appropriate to honor him, but we don’t know what.
Broadway is such a diverse community. Everybody knows how I believe, and everyone believes, and it’s not a big deal. But in Hollywood, if you talk about politics – especially if you’re a Republican – or spirituality, it’s just not something people want to hear about.
I’m finally dating. It’s fun.
Faith is something a lot of people relate to as a God-thing, but it’s also faith in yourself.
We sing because we can’t speak anymore.
I used to want to be tall, and then I thought, ‘If I were tall, then people would say I was pretty and not cute.’ And then I realized that there are worse things than being called cute.
I’m a wild lady. Not.
Well, you know, people don’t know me as a country artist and I am new to the genre. But that’s how I grew up singing.
I’m kind of a weirdo; I love prison movies and war movies.
I want to eat good Italian food and get better at their language. It seems so romantic too.
Chicago – it’s a mini-New York.
New York. It’s home to opera, Broadway, museums, the ballet and orchestra – everything that I love. The most real people in the world live there.
Norman, Okla. That’s where my folks live, so it’s home to me.
I love London because of the history. The times I’ve been there have been some of the best memories in my life. Singing there, seeing great theater – and the people like a Southern accent.
I am a creature of the sun. I don’t ever mind being in the heat.
I enjoy going to Palm Springs when I’m living in Los Angeles.
I love eating at Sonic with my family in Oklahoma. And no, I’m not kidding.
I don’t speak during the day. I warm up physically and, obviously, vocally, constantly. And I try to live like a nun.
We were all given our opportunities to be ourselves. A little bit of ourselves.
