I have to go back to my younger days, when I just adored Hollywood musicals.

I used to watch a lot of musicals as a kid. Musical movies, not so much musical theater.

Oh, when I was a kid, I was raised up with all the Disney classics.

I think that kids need to grow up watching what I grew up watching - great entertainment; you know, Judy Garland and all these musicals that bring song and dance and acting all together in a polished way.

I've loved musicals ever since I saw 'The Lion King' on Broadway.

When I was growing up, there were so many musicals you could watch. I like the fantasy of musicals and I love music.

Honestly, I grew up with Disney.

Before the whole Disney realm had undergone this huge revamping, as a kid, I always saw myself doing these dramatic indie parts. And then I fell in love with doing comedy and doing kid shows and really working for kids.

I don't know if I really watched any Disney animation as a kid.

I grew up in a time when the only musicals were animated musicals because nobody wanted to see people to break into song.
