And I flew back and forth four times. I’d go from Hawk’s house in the ‘60s at the cabin, go straight to the airport, sleep on the plane, go straight to a regency ball, sleep there, then go straight to ‘Wicked’ to be learning choreography […] There’s nothing quite like the feeling of trying to work out the priorities of whether you have to learn the choreography today, or work on your American accent, or pelt your hair ready for another Bridgerton snog.”

I was like, ‘You’re really good!’ She’s like, ‘I’m going to be a singer too.’ Cut to Ariana Grande…she was right.”

Madison Beer defends Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter and Charli xcx’s accomplishments after people claimed their success “came out of nowhere”: “These girls have been working, literally, for 10 plus years, most of them. So I just think it’s a little bit funny when people are like, ‘Oh, this person just dropped out of the sky.’ I'm like, no they didn't. They’ve literally been working for so long. It's important that we note that and credit it, because it sets really unrealistic expectations. There's such an influx of people wanting to be artists these days, obviously, and wanting to pursue the creative arts, which is amazing. Or this person was an overnight sensation. Terms like that were always coined and said to me as a young artist, and then I would end up feeling like a failure for not being successful after two years of being signed when in reality, sure, there's probably been a couple people that are technically overnight successes. But for a lot of people, it takes a really long time. It's so cool seeing these girls show that their hard work pays off. They should be credited for their hard work and not just be called overnight successes, you know?”

Jon M. Chu reveals he initially believed that Ariana Grande did not have what it takes to be Glinda in ‘Wicked’: “I was like, ‘There’s no way she’s prepared for this. This is a huge movie. It takes a lot of experience to lead a movie. She can sing, but can she get to the vulnerable part of Glinda? Is she funny enough?’ And the moment she auditioned, she was the most interesting person in that room. But I didn’t believe it, so I brought her in again. And she was the most interesting person— I did not believe it. She had to do it a third time, and every time she proved herself over and over and over again, to a place where she was living [as] Glinda. When she showed up on set, she was Glinda. I didn’t have to direct her; I was just like, ‘Here’s a chair, jump over it,’ and she would jump over like Glinda. It felt like I was meeting this character in real life for the first time, and that the show was based on this real-life character.”
