The ending of the dream, the beginning of the wide awake something big is coming...
Lyrics from the song "The Director" on her upcoming album Between Heaven and Earth, posted to her official facebook account (6 June 2026)
I like digging into these characters that are a lot more complex, and there's a lot that isn't apparent on the surface … In a weird way, you can access all that fear and pain.
As quoted in "Why Now Is a Divine Time for Alicia Witt", by Sarah Beauchamp at Huffington Post (30 May 2014)
It just occurs to me the Grinch was not so mean he had a point or two I think he’d have liked me.
"I'm Not Ready For Christmas" (November 2013)
