My performing inspiration all started at my performing-arts school back in Atlanta. That was the spark that made me want to perform.

I definitely want to keep on doing Broadway. But maybe when I get tired of Broadway, I'll want to move onto some Disney shows or movies or being a pop star. In general, I think I'll stick with performing and acting and singing.

I wouldn't want to miss out on life, on being a mother and a grandmother.

Living in New York and doing a Broadway show is a dream come true. I've been training for this ever since I was five years old. Actually doing it and living my dream is incredible.
