Kelli O'Hara

We didn't have a lot of live theater in Oklahoma. I didn't visit New York when I was growing up. I watched movie musicals, and I believed in an idealistic, idyllic version of Broadway.

When I was a kid, I would sing in people's living rooms and for different little family things.

I don't mind talking about my family and how to balance it all. But, in today's world, we should probably be asking both women and men about work and family and how to balance the two.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I'm trying to portray.

Being famous gets me good concert tickets, good tables in restaurants, good seats at sporting events and that's really about it.
