The most rewarding thing is being on Broadway. I went into Cabaret as a replacement and was really challenged beyond anything I could have imagined.

The thing about Broadway, they always welcome you with open arms.

I have a place in the Broadway community that can only be earned.

The thing I'm the most proud of in my personal life is that my daughter actually thinks that I'm fabulous.

Everybody says, 'When you have kids, you really get away from yourself.' But really, it's the most selfish thing I've ever done. It's like, Okay, I'm going to create unconditional love for myself, and I'm going to need it and want it and ask for it every day, and I'm going to get it.

Don't waste a minute not being happy. If one window closes, run to the next window- or break down a door.
