"We stayed up till four celebrating. It was a cool night, and I bought a couch..." [on the night she won her Tony]
"Old fashioned Broadway musicals, they're the reason I do what I do, it's the reason I got into theatre,
because I love it. So the fact that I'm here, a part of this show, is a dream come true for me."
[on The Drowsy Chaperone]
"Making it in this business is an extreme challenge... you have to be tenacious, and you cannot give up...
and if you truly believe that there is nothing else in the world you would rather do... then go for it.
But it isn't easy. There is heartache, disappointment... and if you are looking to be a star or for success
to fulfill you- then you are barking up the wrong tree. Success should be a byproduct of being an actor...
because attention and fame will not fulfill a person."
"I can be sassy for a couple hours and then back to the sweatpants."
"When I meet someone who’s 15 and wants to be doing what I’m doing, I can say, 'I was totally where you are, and your dreams are not that far-fetched. It can happen.' Because I’m still that 15-year-old girl who idolizes Patti LuPone and would love to work with her someday, or just sit and have coffee."
"That was the first time I’d ever really sung in public. Before that it was just yodeling in the house or singing in the bathtub and driving everybody crazy."
"It’s worth it. It really is. If I keep remembering that. I can’t believe what I do. When I go out on stage every night, that’s ultimately what’s really important. I’m living a fairy tale. I’m living a dream. Period."
"I wanna live. I wanna love." [Sutton's concert at the Allen Room on February 19, 2009; About a near-death experience]
“My Tony award is above my computer desk…Darth Vader is lightsabering it, and Darth Maul is lightsabering it from the other side, so it's part of some action.”
"I'll be walking down the street and someone will go ‘Are you Sutton Foster?’ and I'll be like ‘...Yes...’ wondering ‘What are they going to do to me?’”
“… I used to be a 14-year-old girl dreaming of this, so I never take it for granted. I cannot believe that I get to walk into a stage door in New York and do what I love to do every night. It is a complete gift. It's also the hardest thing I will ever do in my life. There's no way you can be a diva when you are working this hard!”
From the Ask a Star Video: "I always wanted to play Belle in Beauty and the Beast, but I was too tall. But I was also too tall to play Eponine and I did that. I was like the giant, GINORMOUS Eponine who would terrorize the Paris streets. But yeah, I always wanted to play Belle. But now it's...eh, I could do it in my apartment." (The Question was: "Is there another princess in a musical that you would love to play?")
