My younger sister had kids before I did, and managed to earn a master's degree while raising them as a single parent. Now she's a brilliant second-grade teacher. I'm in awe of her ability to juggle everything and still be a great mother. Idina Menzel abilityawebrilliant share on social

I used to take 40 minutes to warm up before going on stage. If you want to spend time with your child as well as having a career, you have to get up there even if your head's a mess. It's made me more relaxed, and I'm having some of my best shows. Idina Menzel careerchildhead share on social

Who am I, if I'm not this singer with big high notes? I identify with my voice. But I'm more than just the acrobatics. Idina Menzel acrobaticbighigh Change image and share on social
I always like to sing barefoot, but when I first started doing these dates with the symphonies, I of course thought I should clean up my act, being a Jewish girl from Long Island with a little bit of a trucker mouth. So I wore a gown and some high heels. Idina Menzel actbarefootbite share on social
