Greg Grunberg is so beautiful and charming and funny and heartbreaking.

I'm really excited to share cabaret, the art form, not just with the generations that are above me, but also my generation and the generation under me. I think it's an art form that's incredibly important, and I think that my generation is a little unfamiliar with it.

I come from a family of educators.

I think every New York actor's dream is to do Shakespeare in the Park. Each show is so special and unique and diverse because of the elements that we're performing in. Every live show is truly a one-of-a-kind.

My go-go dancing was not your typical go-go dancing: I really was doing performance art. I would do dramatic, elaborate lyricals across the bar. I learned a lot, actually, as an artist during that time.

My mom is an elementary school gym teacher and a track and cross-country coach, so she really wanted me to be a runner. But I was not a runner. I was horrible at running.

I came out of the womb singing, dancing, and telling awkward jokes.

Donna Summer was one of the strongest female singers in pop music. She was very underrated as a vocalist and a writer, and her songbook is just outrageous.

I always have multiple ladybugs around because they're lucky, and they're good for flowers and the environment.

I'll be, like, grocery shopping or doing something totally mundane, and once a day, you'll hear a Cyndi Lauper song on the radio. It is astounding what an icon she is, not just in popular music but in popular culture.
Annaleigh Ashford -
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!

If you've ever been to a great clown show, there's always a moment where the clown goes into the house and fuses with the audience. There's something fantastic about the improv of it all.

Sadly, I never really tell people what I think. So it's a real treat to play a woman who's able to speak her mind unabashedly.

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

We had a cabin in the mountains - and I remember, one year around this time, a moose came down the river, and one night he came to our cabin and hung out on the back porch for hours. They're really, really, really big animals. And dangerous, especially if they're a momma.

In the late 1950s, the woman's place in society was second-class.

I'm a modern girl with old-fashioned sensibilities.

I always try to have a positive and warm intention that is not about me. It is easy to make everything about yourself. But you take the weight off when we make it about the audience. It's about the joy you can bring to somebody else instead of the joy that you get from doing it.
Annaleigh Ashford -
I don't know how to explain it, but ever since I was a little girl, I knew that I wanted to perform.
Annaleigh Ashford -
Sondheim has been a part of my musical collective since I was eight. I was a dramatic little kid.

There's no better gift to an actor than when you walk into an audition, and the casting director is your partner.
Annaleigh Ashford -
I feel that since I was a little, little person, I knew that one of my life goals was to tell stories and bring joy to people.
Annaleigh Ashford -
I was born and raised in Denver, CO.
Annaleigh Ashford -
I, for one, have a great momma.
