ariana grande about protecting her instrument and speaking in higher/lowest registers: “I feel like vocalist are such confusing aliens to the rest of the world who aren’t but if you are a vocalist you know exactly what’s happening. so many people study the way that I speak, sometimes I speak in higher register and sometimes in a lower register. they’re both authentic places that my voice goes and they’re both authentic speaking voices for me. if I am doing a lot of speaking, or if I’m in a loud place, if I know I have a long stretch of time when I’m speaking a lot I will not let it sink, there’s like a certain speaking technique that you learn to keep your vocal chords healthier, and able to keep up with it. […] you have to learn a speaking technique as well as a singing. they both just as important. […] you definitely have to speak differently depending on what your voice is asking of you that week, day or month.”

ariana grande about having a recognizable persona that people dress up as and ‘playing role’: “it’s not something that I thought would happen, with people sort of being able to dress up as or imitate the specific styles, whether it’s hair or clothing it’s something that I definitely try not to think about too much [laughs] it’s definitely not in the room with me when I am creating, it’s just a very funny thing I like to laugh about with my best friends and it feels very surreal and funny to me, but also I am able to see it as a tremendous compliment because it means you’ve been able to reach people on a scale and in the ways that it has, it’s beautiful. I mean the biggest honour in the world, and I’ve always said this is when a drag queen can perform at a gay bar, that is definitely the highest honor possible in one’s career [laughs]”

ariana grande on advice her mom joan gave her to handle rejection in auditions: “in my younger years I was told no constantly, I was always auditioning for mostly for broadway musicals and for theatre to be in a broadway show, but it just never worked out. I remember I was an inch too tall for mary poppins. it was heartbreaking, but I was so lucky to have my mom support during that time because she just told me that, it’s not about whether or not I’m talented, she was like, you’re hard worker and you’re talented and the right thing will not pass you by, that it doesn’t matter, don’t take the no’s personally, you can’t let that make you feel like your gift isn’t worthy. to understand that the right thing won’t pass you by and this just isn’t it yet. I was very young and I was hearing a lot of no’s until I heard the right yes and I started to understand that certain things are meant to be and certain things aren’t but it’s hard when you’re so young and you get started.”

ariana grande when asked how often she self-doubts: “you mean the monsters? the nervous monsters? all the time. to anyone reading this, it’s a gorgeous gift to care so much that sometimes you get afraid. it is a tremendous gift to have those nerves that carbonate your experience, that make you want to work harder, to challenge yourself to constantly become better, or to do the thing that people don’t believe you can do.” (via @backstage)

ariana grande about mapping out and getting to know glinda’s triggers: “I think as much as we can do with fiction, with the character’s life and inventing them as real people for us, it’s not only really effective and helpful in the moment as an actor, but it’s really protective as a human being. I really do think [glinda] is a hero in a lot of ways, and I wanted to make sure that was clear and that she was as human as possible. I wanted to know her as well as I know myself. for me, everything comes from somewhere. I do a lot of work and a lot of therapy to figure out the connective tissue between certain triggers now that also touch on something from way back then. I wanted to do that for glinda too, so that when the time came, I wouldn’t have to reference my own pain. I could have hers
available and know why.” (via @backstage)

ariana grande tells @backstage what she is taking with her from glinda’s final arc: “‘good’ is doing the work, and the rest is noise. I celebrate the good things and I say thank you when they happen, but I don’t let them disconnect me from the little girl who had the ‘wicked’ poster in her bedroom in boca raton, florida, who taught herself how to vocal produce on garageband when she was 12.”

ariana grande tells @backstage about balancing intense focus with intense feelings: “there are exercises you can do to ask [those nerves] to leave, and they will come back later, so that you can be present and in the moment and in the work but in life, it’s a very healthy thing to have them there because it means that you don’t take it for granted, and that you care so much.”

ariana grande reflects on her career and success: “when I look back on some of the things in my career, I can’t believe they’ve happened. and I know I did the work so that they could, but I still feel as curious and inspired as…the first day I got here. I don’t think I’ve changed, or that I’ve let what has happened in my career that has worked or been successful be too present in my head.” (via @backstage)

ariana grande about closing the ‘wicked’ chapter: “it feels like a beautiful time to put it in a beautiful book on the shelf next to the other frank baum books that I collect, it does feel like the right time to turn the page and to thankfully and proudly, gratefully let go.”
