Food is the most basic forum for discussing things like love and the absence of love; how we hurt ourselves and how we heal ourselves.

Musical theatre is my first love.

I love doing concerts. For me, it's the favorite thing I do. I get to communicate with the audience in a direct way.

Of course I’ll hurt you. Of course you’ll hurt me. Of course we will hurt each other. But this is the very condition of existence. To become spring, means accepting the risk of winter. To become presence, means accepting the risk of absence.

I've worked so hard since I was 18 years old, and I'd hate for the memories to be boiled down to being a Melania Trump impersonator.

If you can hear music, you can hear the musicality of the way someone speaks. It's easier to nail down the way that they talk. So much of it is listening, just like in acting. If you're listening, you pick up the nuance of why a person behaves the way that they behave.
