More quotes by Laura Benanti
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.
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.

For me, Twitter has given me a direct line to the world - it gave me an opportunity to be like, This is my voice.

I'm such a goody two-shoes, I don't even taste the fruit at the grocery store. Like oh, are these grapes good? I can't even do that. I'm that much of a rule-follower.
Laura Benanti
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.

Musical theatre is my first love.

My mother was an actress and my voice teacher, an incredible voice teacher. My biological father is an actor, and my stepfather, who raised me along with my mother, is a psychotherapist. I was always supported in creative ventures.

I don't like the word brand. When I see people creating a brand, it feels disingenuous.

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.

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.
Laura Benanti
There's an infantilization that happens to actresses in general - musical theatre, straight theatre, television, film - we're spoken to like children. Actors are spoken to like children a lot of the time.
Laura Benanti
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.
Laura Benanti
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.

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 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.

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.
