Zitat des Tages von Shanice Williams:
My biggest inspiration is Audra McDonald.
All my vocal coaches have been pretty great. Thank God.
I was eating cereal on my couch when I saw the first commercial for 'The Wiz' on TV. I dropped the spoon and the tears came out of nowhere.
I'm very optimistic about the future, because... Okay, with Audra McDonald, even just on Broadway, they cast her in shows that are usually not played by African-American women, so she's very inspiring to me just because of that, you know what I mean?
When I went to college, I wasn't really happy at there, and I really wanted to come home. Mind you, I auditioned for 'The Wiz' the day after I came home from college. I wanted to come home and try to go to a new school.
The first time that I stepped onto a stage, it was life-changing. For once, I felt comfortable and in a place where I belonged. It changed my life forever.
I'm a Jersey girl, but I went to college in L.A. I can connect with the feeling of wanting to come home.
When I get older, if they ever do a project about Audra McDonald's life, I would love to play her, or even play her daughter in something. I love her.
You have to be focused all the time.
I think it'd be cool to be in film and television, but I never thought that would happen.
I was one of the ones in my generation who actually did connect with 'The Wiz,' even though it was not on Broadway or the movie wasn't big anymore by the time I was of age to notice. But I was into it in middle school.
I've always had a huge dream of opening an animal shelter.
The most important thing is to stay humble because there are always people telling you that you're this and that you're going to do that.
My grandparents actually, whenever they got the chance, took me to Broadway, but that started when I was in high school, because that's when I realized... At the very beginning of high school, I realized, 'Oh my gosh. Okay, this is a career choice for me.' So yeah, then they always brought me to New York to see Broadway shows whenever they could.
When you get to Hollywood, it takes you out of your life. It makes you feel cool when you think about all the great things to come out of this town.
When I got to high school, I was going to do sports, but I got kicked off the volleyball team because I kept missing it for musical theater.
Definitely had a lot of training since a young age. My teachers in high school have always helped me, gave me encouragement, taught me so much.
I never thought I'd be doing TV. I've always loved it, but I felt like I was just going to do Broadway because that was what I wanted to do the most.
My dream job would be starring in a lead role on a Broadway musical.
