Personal quotes
"I used to go around looking as frumpy as possible
because it was inconceivable you could be attractive
as well as be smart. It wasn't until I started being
myself, the way I like to turn out to meet people, that
I started to get any work."
"I like
women who look like women. I hated grunge. No one's
more feminist than me, but you don't have to look as
if you don't give a - you know. You can be smart, bright,
and attractive aesthetically to others - and to yourself."
"It
was really special, the whole thing was. I remember
so many moments, one of pain from going at it gung ho
and then not being able to walk the next day. Just amazing
moments of."
"Well
I think just casting-wise, I just saw myself as Velma.
And I knew the score of the show before I even knew
what it was about."
"Well
I worked really hard before and during rehearsals. Some
days I could hardly walk. I just wanted to try to keep
up with the girls who do this eight shows a week, every
night of their lives, and they were so supportive to
me. I was never going to get up to that standard but
I wanted to give it my best shot so I was doing a lot
of stretching just to be supple again and a lot of cardio
just to keep up my stamina."
