I Am A Very Outspoken Person, And

I Was In Choir In School. I Kind Of Just Did It. I Already Knew I Wanted To Sing. My Music Program In My School Wasn't Really Great - People Didn't Really Want To Be Part Of The Choir, They Didn't Want To Do The Plays And Stuff Like That. It Definitely Wasn't The Cool Thing To Do.

I Consider Myself Lucky To Be An Only Child Because If I Had Other Siblings, My Mother Would Not Have Been Able To Take Me To Every Audition And Be So Supportive Of My Career.

Every Now And Then, I Have Blissful Moments Of Thanking God For All The Amazing Things That Are Happening. When I Leave The White House After Just Meeting Obama Or When I See My Face On The Cover Of 'rolling Stone' Or When I Meet Someone Who Tells Me That Their Daughter Is Inspired By Me, Those Are Moments That Are Incredibly Joyful.

One Of My Favorite Things About 'spring Awakening' Is That It Is Enjoyable And Important For Both Kids And Adults To See.

When I Wasn’t Working On Broadway, I Worked In A Bat Mitzvah Dress Shop And Was The Cinderella Of The Shop - Always Cleaning And Vacuuming!
