It was always my dream, to do a leading role on Broadway. It's what I went to college to do, in hopes of one day someone taking a chance on me and saying, 'You know what? You're going to be our girl.'

I always tell friends you can't judge your success by someone else's. You can't be afraid to fail.

I got into hula hooping at age six - I hula hooped all day, every day. That was something I was comfortable with, but I never tried walking or singing while hula hooping! It's actually pretty difficult and tiring. But I like challenging myself. It's hard, but it's really fun.

That was a really special day. It was a chance for me to go back to my college and get a big honor, and it happened on my birthday.

The day they told me I'd have to have a reconstruction, they kind of said there wasn't a great chance I'd ever throw again. It was probably the worst day of my life.

I'm always afraid someone's going to tap me on the shoulder one day and say, 'Back to North London.'
