“It was very important to me—and I don’t know why I was this self-aware at the time because I didn’t have the tools—to not be boxed in as a Disney princess. At the same time, I fucking love that I’m a Disney princess. I love Disney. But I didn’t want to do just one thing. I have so many different parts of my own character that I want to explore and different parts of my voice, and I want to do a ton of different things in theatre.”

“The thing is, I can’t control that built-in bias because it’s going to exist. What I can do is reflect the world through my very unique prism and perhaps people will be able to relate. I can’t control how it’s received, nor do I want to control how it’s perceived. What I want is for people to go into the theatre and in some way their perception is shifted, so that if they do enter with their biases, perhaps they won’t leave with them.”
