More quotes by Laura Benanti
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.
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.

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

I sing songs from the theater and pop songs. When I say 'pop songs,' I mean from the 90's. And I tell jokes. So it's sort of a stand up show meets a concert - not your traditional lounging across a piano cabaret show. It's much looser.
Laura Benanti
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 didn't love stickers and unicorns and stuff, but just if I were to ride on the back of a beast to work, I want it to be a frickin' unicorn.
Laura Benanti
Well, I'm grateful for all the experiences that I've had.

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.

Just because you're a belter doesn't make you funny it just means that's how your pipes are set up.

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'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
For me, Twitter has given me a direct line to the world - it gave me an opportunity to be like, This is my voice.
Laura Benanti
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.
Laura Benanti
I have to create opportunities for myself. But the thing I really have learned is that you gain nothing from sitting around waiting for the phone to ring - you have to do it for yourself.
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
We learn by watching. That's what concerns me a little about the society we're in now because so much of what we're watching is entitled, self-centered, brats with no talent becoming very, very famous for literally no reason.
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.
Laura Benanti
I do think that there is an almost more old fashioned mentality to the way musical theatre people and actresses especially are treated.
Laura Benanti
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.
