I love all things Christmas.Collection: Christmas
I've looked after my money. As I started working around my third birthday, my first check went straight to the bank.Collection: Money
I absolutely love my fans, and I get to chat to them a lot on Twitter, and that's why I think Twitter is really great. They call themselves 'The Sprouts' and they are really, really wonderful, so passionate, and they make me smile.Collection: Smile
It's important to be able to keep things fresh, no matter what age you are, or how many years you've been in the industry.
When I was a 7-year-old girl, in my bedroom, on my karaoke machine, I would sing 'On My Own' or do a one-woman version of 'Les Miserables.'
There's nothing like the buzz of live theater. You put it out there and receive an instant reaction: laughing, crying, yelling, applauding.
I can't comprehend that I'm in the film of 'Les Miserables.' It's one of those dreams I thought would be unattainable for someone like me, who came from nowhere.
I would love to have a varied career, like Hugh Jackman. He started in musical theater, then established himself in film, but he still does a lot of stage work. And he does it all beautifully.
I began with dance, doing ballet at 3, then tap, jazz, modern. Then I sang in church choirs, learned how to play clarinet and drums, sang with rock bands and only then did I get into musical theatre.
If I wasn't performing, I wasn't alive. That's the truth. My parents had absolutely no interest in the business, but they knew it made me happy, so they said 'Go for it, girl!'
I just sing the songs that people don't expect you to sing, because I just love having fun at karaoke and I'm always a bit nervous to sing something serious.
I love singing some Johnny Cash, which is interesting because it's in a guy's key; I love singing Elvis Presley.
The red carpet is kind of a surreal experience. There's nothing normal about it, so for me the most important thing is to maintain some normality right until the point you get out of the car.
I think within what my job is, you always have to find a balance, because this job is also a life choice. You're traveling about; your hours are all over the place. If you're in a show, you're out every night.
When I was growing up in the Isle of Man with ambitions of being a performer, I really wanted to go to see a Broadway show.
I like to walk around Central Park and take in the vibe, have a picnic if the weather is good, and people-watch.
I grew up on such a small island, and professional theater seemed so far away. I never, ever thought I'd get so lucky to be appearing in movies.
I've always been a positive, optimistic person who loves life, and I've got a lot to be positive about.
Life is all about balance. My work is very important to me, but so are my relationships. I make time for that aspect of my life, and it makes me happy having balance in my life.
I'm always at my fittest when I'm doing a show - even when you're not on stage, you are running around backstage doing quick changes.
I'm a vegetarian and have been since I was about four because I struggled to separate the idea of the animal from the food.
I love peas and can happily tuck into a big bowl, but my favourite vegetables are Brussels sprouts. I talk about them so much that my fans call themselves Sam's Sprouts.

That Ted Turner is a genius...He has taken what used to be a carnival side show and turned it into a gold mine. Yes - wrestling has become prime time for the masses. He's making these giant men into millionares with movie star status.Collection: Stars
