You said this [election year] feels like a reality show and that’s true, but it’s always been shitty. One of the things that gives me hope: In the election of 1800, Thomas Jefferson, in a newspaper, accused John Adams of being a hermaphrodite. He said he had both sex organs—this is dirty politics. Adams countered by saying, “Thomas Jefferson died. You have to vote for me,” just hoping word would spread slowly. So the mudslinging, that’s nothing new. “Small hands,” that’s nothing next to, “He died; you have to vote for me.” We pretend there was this golden age of politics, and it was never so. We devolved into the two-party system about six months after we started becoming one country, so that actually gives me hope. It’s always been like this.

I think an artist’s only responsibility is to chase their inspiration and to fall in love...It’s about falling in love and really writing what’s inside you. Sometimes that’s political and sometimes it’s, “I’m pissed off and I want to write about how I’m pissed off.” An artist’s only responsibility is to be true and authentically yourself...That’s our job. That’s what people relate to: authenticity.

I’m not on my phone; I leave mine in the dressing room. When [Jonathan] Groff was there, there was always a party in his dressing room, the hangout spot. And there are a series of very important offstage dance parties at specific points during the show.

We had our first [student matinee] and I was sick, sick as a dog. I was throwing up...I was sick and lying in bed, and I was like, 'Well, I can either be sick here, or be sick watching these kids.' So I got up, I called a lift, and I took my ass to the theater. And I was so inspired by those kids that I did both shows that day. Like, actually walking offstage and vomiting in between things. After seeing the sort of bravery and heart that those kids put into their performances...I was like, 'Oh, you not going to go onstage cause you feel a little SICK?'

That's the thing about theatre that you don't get from anything else. [gesturing to crowd] It's this, it's this. It's like, I can look out - I don't see very well, but I can see y'all's faces. And everybody else, like, I can see that you are human beings out there, and I can feel your energy coming back to me. And that's why you do it. It's an energy exchange and it means something, it means something that you are here with all of the things you had to go through today to get here, whatever that is.

“How did you find out about your Tony nominations?”

Still, Herr Stiefel, one thing in your letter disturbed me. Your—what shall we call it?—veiled threat that should escape not be possible, you would take your own life…
