00:00I can't pinpoint the day that I was like, ah, yeah, I can see.
00:25I think I understood that I had something different or special, if you want to use that
00:31word, when I knew I could connect with people, when people would have an emotional reaction
00:41to what they were hearing.
00:42Yes.
00:43Where do you want to be?
00:44I don't know.
00:45Where do you want to be?
00:46Okay.
00:47I think that there are so many people in the world who feel like Elphaba.
00:52I think there's something really special about playing a person who is different and oftentimes
01:00alone in it.
01:02People don't necessarily always get you, but that doesn't mean that you aren't wonderful.
01:07I have found myself being really protective of her, everything from the freckles that
01:13she has to the boots that she wears, and I'm really particular about it because I know
01:19that what this person represents and what I want to say with her.
01:25All right then, pups, let's do this.
01:32Hello.
01:33Yeah, mom.
01:34Why did you do your ears?
01:35My ears?
01:36Well, see, because my ears are covered in piercings, right, instead of taking out all
01:48the piercings, we put prosthetic over it so that it covers up my ear.
01:53So my ear, yeah, so my ear is underneath the ear, yeah.
01:58That's my real ear.
01:59It won't hurt you when you're taking it off.
02:01It won't hurt me when I take it off.
02:02I love you.
02:03Yeah.

02:53coming towards you.
