realistically every tony winner’s acceptance speech should be “id like to thank audra mcdonald for not being eligible for this category because if she were i would have lost”
“I’m very aware of my - the girl who’s pretty cliche stature in this business. The truth of it is, is it’s the fucking truth; I’m happy doing what I’m doing, and I love my family and I love singing like I’ve never loved anything in my life. And the thing is that I say it because it’s true. I don’t say it to pull anything over on anybody. I was born to sing, somehow. No one in my family sings, really. Something happened and I started to sing and it put me in my place in this world. And I decided I would come here and do it, and I’ll be damned if I go somewhere and get caught where I can’t sing.”
