Idina Menzel : (6) " I think I hid my singing talent from a lot of my friends at school because I didn’t want to alienate anyone. If everyone was singing along in the car to a Madonna song, I didn’t join in because when we’re younger we’re afraid of sticking out or showing off, when in fact we should own those things that make us really unique. " - Idina Menzel " I like to originate new roles and characters for musical theater. " - Idina Menzel " After ‘Rent,’ I tried to make a record, and it didn’t work out, and it was the Broadway community that welcomed me back. It’s where I feel the most understood, most at home. " - Idina Menzel " For me, ‘Rent’ was all about coming out of myself, finding out who I was, learning the power I could have as a performer. " - Idina Menzel " I pretty much have no life outside of the theatre. I go home every night, and I put the TV on, and I veg out and order food. " - Idina Menzel " Along with enough sleep and taking proper supplements, I steam – in my steam shower. I find it’s very healing, more than just your typical ‘tea and honey.’ " - Idina Menzel
