Usually I'm pretty myopic. It's hard for me to multi-task, so to speak. If I'm in a show and I'm creating a character, I'm just completely into that. It's really hard for me to do anything else like write music. I have to sort of shut down different sides of my head and just focus. Idina Menzel charactercompletelycreate share on social

There has to be a balance between power and vulnerability. That's something I feel I have in my own life, something I struggle with and - on a good day - like about myself. Idina Menzel balancedayfeel Change image and share on social
I pretty much have no life outside of the theatre. I go home every night, and I put the TV on, and I veg out and order food. Idina Menzel foodhomelife Change image and share on social

Believe me, I don't take that lightly. To have struck gold twice with 'Rent' and 'Wicked.' I know it's rare and I'm very lucky to have that kind of phenomenon in my life. They're not just great shows, they're shows that resonate with young audiences. Idina Menzel audiencegoldgreat share on social

I set the bar high because I don't want to do just any other show just to keep working. I want to do something special that means something to people and speaks to them. Those kinds of opportunities don't come along all the time! Idina Menzel barhighkind share on social
