Alice Ripley

Sometimes a job comes to you, and you didn't ask for it. Your work in the past hires you, and that's nice.

With a lot of contemporary musicals, the songs are like a calling card: the action stops for them.

I'm like a prize fighter. When I'm not on stage, every action that I take has to be focused on my next performance.

I've been committed to personal growth since I was a teenager, and I'm a believer in the idea that your thought is the only thing that matters.
