"I beat Patti LuPone for a Tony Award. Which is, was huge for me because she is my idol in a lot of ways. And after the Tonys and stuff she did a two person show with Mandy Patinkin, called Patti and Mandy, so clever. And I went to see it and I was invited backstage and she paid me huge compliments. And she mentioned, when she was doing Evita, which was her big Broadway debut and she won a Tony Award for it, and she said you don’t get to have this time twice. And I’m happy it happened for you in this way and - and you should, you know, hold on to it for as long as you can. And so I did. I’m going to try to, anyway, remember the last year."

"I mean, I live in a New York City apartment. It’s small, walk up in Chelsea. Like I don’t have a lot of area, so my Tony is just in my living room on a side table. It’s the only thing on the table. Well there’s a lamp, so it sort of has a spotlight. When I first got it, I moved it around with me, like weirdly, in the apartment. So when I went to sleep I would bring it into my bedroom. I didn’t take it to the bathroom with me because I wasn’t sure what kind of metal it was made of. I didn’t want it to get like rusty from the sweat, you know. And I - you know I would take a lot of pictures of it. And it was really like - it’s the best toy I’ve ever received. And I’m an actress right, a musical theatre performer, my whole life, so I didn’t play sports, I never got a trophy, so this is my first trophy. And it’s a good one."

"I knew how good it was, and I knew that I loved it, and that was the most important thing about committing my time and energy and talents — of which I hope I have a few — to this project. And I thought, ‘If it bombs, we just did the greatest bomb in musical theatre history.’ People are gonna love it or people are gonna hate it, and I sort of liked the anticipation."
