'Miscast' is a family affair. It highlights so many different aspects of the industry in that one night, and it's a great evening.

I was causing trouble in high school, and in order to get me to stop and to pass, they put me into theater, and I ended up winning a Shakespeare competition. All I had to do was imitate people properly, and I ended up going to the finals when I was about 16.

I never got to see the circus... I was always in love with being a trapeze artist, though.

There were pockets of this career - whatever you want to call it - where I said, 'I've tapped out. I don't want to do this. I'm gonna go be a stage hand. I don't want to do this. I don't want to talk to people. I'm afraid of people. I'm going to walk away from everything that this was and is.'

I used to be a pop singer; well, not used to be. I am an R&B singer. My emphasis was on Stevie Wonder and Chaka Khan and Aretha Franklin.

It doesn't matter if you're a Victoria's Secret model or you're someone's 90-year-old grandma or you're a little kid who's getting bullied or you're that kid's bully - everybody feels like there's something going on that's more correct than what is. We all have to reach out to one another in that fear, and we'd be surprised to hear, 'Me, too.'

Music was always a part of my life.

Sometimes I get frustrated with my own self because I'm such a perfectionist.

I love people that go the distance. I hate things that are lukewarm. They've got to be one way or the other and go all the way.

There's always doubt and fear. If you're a human being, everybody's got it.

I was born and raised in Hawaii.

I used to want to look like every European person that was being held up as a standard of beauty, whether in the industry or in life. Then I just realized that it's not in my genetic make-up. I decided instead to go for the gold in whatever I'm doing and just be as healthy as I can be.

For me, I want to say whether or not you believe in God - or a universe of any kind that's watching over any of us - you can have faith that things will go your way as much as you want to, and they won't.

My goal is to stay in good health, and every day, I wake up and pray that I do.
Keala Settle -
I've always been the biggest bully to myself.

I would have loved to play Atticus in 'To Kill a Mockingbird.' There's no music in it, but it doesn't mean I wouldn't want to do it!
Keala Settle -
If anybody says they're not afraid of themselves, they're lying!

There is a struggle when you do represent so many countries within you, but that makes you who you are.
