Annaleigh Ashford

The cast of 'The Big C' is such an amazing group of people. They're so joyful and just open their arms to you as an actor.

I've been lucky to play strong women who are trying their hardest to do good.

This is magic - the people of Broadway. There's nothing better!

I've chosen a career that's quite tricky. You have such high highs and low lows, and it's outrageously inconsistent. But it is what I love, which is so rare, and I'm so grateful for that every day.

I loved reading 'Anne of Green Gables' and 'Little Women' and Jane Austen. Those were times when people really did have only one true love in their life.

I love working in television and film, but it's completely different. The theater will always be my home. So I would love to be a lady who gets to work in all of the mediums and who calls the theater her home.

I have always known mosquitoes love me, but they really love me in Central Park.

Love is never not going to be a problem.

I love to share in a scene - I'd rather share than be alone.

In 'Kinky Boots,' I looked for moments to be bold, showing Lauren's gutsiness and smarts. She's a little bit kooky now, too, and I love me some kooky.

A dog's heart chakra is always open; their aim in life is to please.

It takes skill to sing bad and dance bad, because there's a certain amount of unawareness that people have when they can't sing and they can't dance, so I have to say that it is a challenge!
