This Broadway Actress Left a Safe Wall Street Gig to Pursue Her Dream. Now, She's Starring in 'Wicked.'
"There are too many people out there doing something just to get by and going home not feeling fulfilled. You can find some way to unstick yourself from being in a situation that you don't love. Even if it takes living a double life of doing one thing during the day and then something else at night to fulfill yourself, do it. I mean, why not? It's honestly the best decision I ever made, minus the tough times we'll all go through. It's all about having a support system and believing in yourself. If I had never done it -- had never sat in an acting class or had never gone to all these auditions -- I wouldn't be where I am right now."
