I think that every therapist that I know, including my dad and my sister, have their own issues. But that empathy is what makes them good at their job.

More quotes by Laura Benanti
Think of life and the world as a wall and that we're all climbing up the wall. So just put one hand in front of the other, keep your eye on the prize, and then get there. And then turn around and help the other people - because you're already there, so start helping.

I am not so secretly a comedian. I write a lot of my own material if you've seen videos I've done. I write jokes.

How did we go - in a relatively short amount of time - from Audrey Hepburn to Kim Kardashian? I don't know how that happened. Like did we all collectively slip and hit our heads as a society? Why are we accepting garbage as nourishment? I don't know what's going on.

Some people have jobs where other people don’t clap for them. I don’t understand that.

I feel like people used to leave their homes and go to their local theatre, and they used to watch ballet dancers and musical theatre performers and tap dancers and orchestras and dog acts. You had to leave your home, be in the presence of other people, know how to behave, and enjoy the human being whose beating heart was in front of you.

Musical theatre is my first love.

I did a lot of lying. I went through a big lying phase when I was in like third and fourth grade. I told all my friends I was in Les Misérables, and I was not. I also told them I was an Indian princess. Also not an Indian princess.

There were TVs everywhere. When we weren't on stage, we were watching what America was watching and rooting for each other and our leading lady. That experience was incredible, and I was just enjoying myself.

The average age of a model is fifteen years old. It's so crazy to me. And how confusing for men they're like, Well, I'm supposed to be attracted to that image - like that's what it's designed for - but it's a fifteen year old girl. I think it's a very confusing thing for every single person involved.
Laura Benanti
I don't like the word brand. When I see people creating a brand, it feels disingenuous.

I think it's good to have an old fashioned musical as well as new musicals. There's a lot of room for different shows.

My parents took me to see Stevie Wonder when I was about 3, but my mom made us leave because everybody around us was smoking pot.

I really do love the Muppets. My sister used to call them the Muffets. She'd be like, Can we watch the Muffets? So anything that reminds me of how adorable my sister was, I'm a big fan of.

I think it's a deeper issue on the lack of communication in our culture in general. It's not abnormal to see a family out to dinner and every person is on their phone instead of communicating with each other and that's pretty sad.
Laura Benanti
I finally stopped complaining about 'Why isn't everybody else making me what I want to be?' You can't rely solely on your agent or your managers to educate people as to who you are.
Laura Benanti
Don't wait for people to tell you who you are. Show them.

If we had an audience to play to, the performance would have gotten too big. Sizing our performances to the camera was an important journey for me at least.
Laura Benanti
Being in front of a live audience again. I get that in my concerts but there's nothing like being on Broadway.
Laura Benanti
I don't think theater is dying, and musicals are a great American art form. We've got apple pie, jazz and musical theater.
Laura Benanti
People want to go to a musical to be razzled and dazzled, so to have an opportunity to do a musical that feels serious and moving is exciting to me. Especially since people think of me as a silly, funny person, so I like to be able to show that other side of me.
