When I was a freshman, I didn't have that much time for extra-curriculars, so I didn't do any theater stuff. Actually, I didn't do it with my school. I did theater with this thing called Teen Source.

I grew up doing theater and music, and in fact, I spent more time doing theater, and I'd do music when I could.

While I was growing up all over, in all my different schools, I was always doing theater, auditioning for plays.

I started in high school and regional theater. Anything that came into town, I wanted to be involved in, because I just wanted to learn.

I grew up listening to music and going to the theatre.

I had all the normal interests - I played basketball and I headed the school paper. But I also developed very early a great love for music and literature and the theater.

I've always been interested in music. In high school, I did a lot of musical theater, and I loved it.

My interest in theatre started in high school, mostly because my dean forced me to do it. I was creating trouble in the hallways, so he demanded that I do something with my spare time.

I'm actually one of the few kids in my grade, especially girls, who didn't end up going to college, just because I already knew what I wanted to do. I had already been actively working in music before I graduated.

I went into college undeclared. I had no idea what I wanted to do, but I knew that music was obviously this central big important thing in my life that I was gonna keep doing.
