It's funny. You'd think I'd be exhausted. Actually, it's like going on a fabulous roller coaster ride every night. Even through all of the trials and tribulation, I and Jane and the audience have gained something that's so heartening. It makes you feel so believed and uplifted that I feel like I've shared something very, very special with the audience. I'm very proud and exhilarated by that. - About starring as Jane Eyre on Broadway Show less «
