I am a Christian and I don’t want there to be any confusion about what I believe or who I am.
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.
