I do not want any child in America to have my childhood because it was taken away from me because I just wasn't good enough; well I am good enough now.
I put a spell on people so they don't know they're working out... An enchanting spell, where they just don't think about it, or over think it, and then at the end they go, 'Wow, I feel good.'
You just don't know when you get all the paint across the canvas how it will turn out. When you step back after you've finished, you say, 'This one is not so good. This one is good.'
It has been more wittily than charitably said that hell is paved with good intentions; they have their place in heaven also.
I don't think it's important to be that good at singing. I think people who are good at singing sing backing vocals for pop stars. It's about how you project. I wouldn't consider myself to be a singer.

I'm proud of my triumphs. I've dreamed of being world champion, I've had some difficult times and they've made me value the good times.
You realize you can get good at something, even though ballet almost felt like you could never be good enough. No matter how hard you worked, it was so hard to be a great dancer.
Style offers concrete rules you can follow. You can use it as a resource rather than a barrier to feeling good about yourself.
If a comic comes out on the scene and it's really knock-out brilliant, the community is pretty good about getting the word about good newcomers.
The good thing about Broadway is that you don't have to worry about an airdate. It gets done when it gets done.
