“Ambition, motivation, and determination are all great qualities to possess. They help us keep fighting for our dreams. It’s important to fight the good fight. But it’s important to care for yourself as well.”

“These degrees teach valuable life lessons that can be used in other careers and realms beyond those of theatre.”

“All the cues, all the scenes, all the good times, and chemistry are now about to become nothing more than a memory.”

“About a year ago, I decided to take a break from acting. I decided to focus on my job and on other important priorities in my life.

If your heart and soul are happy, if you are content with your life and can do what you love - then you are fulfilled. And if it means you’re never on Broadway, if you aren’t in the next superhero blockbuster but are happy - that’s ok. Because fame isn’t the only form of fulfillment.

I’m still giddy over the news we are getting a Broadway version of Hercules.It is, in my opinion, one of the most underrated Disney films. That, and Meg is one of my favorite characters of all time.

To be honest, the idea that I have the potential to play a character who means so much to me on stage is thrilling.
