I was pregnant, and, like, 'Being a mom's going to be easy!' And now I'm like, 'Great.'

Of course I wanted an agent from the time I was like 5, but my mother was like, 'No, you're going to be normal, you're going to go to school, you're going to get good grades, you're going to play soccer, and if you do well, if you keep your grades up, you can do one community-theater show a year.'

I don't think theater is dying, and musicals are a great American art form. We've got apple pie, jazz and musical theater.

Do I want to write a musical? No. I like to do musicals.

When I was 5 years old, I was coming up the stairs, and I saw my mom standing there, singing 'A Quiet Thing' a cappella, and it was such a differentiating moment for me. I realized that we are separate from each other - she has dreams and goals.

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.
