Erivo expressed, "Sometimes you approach with fear and trepidation... wondering if people will be OK with me saying the word 'queer'. Then you stop caring much... it's just who I am."
She shared, "I feel very in [Elphaba's] skin... There's something wonderful about watching someone who is enjoying her life and creating."
Erivo remarked, "After making the decision to show up in a room as myself, always... the choice is not anyone else's to see me, it's mine to show myself."
Reflecting on her identity, she stated, "For me, it means taking a risk to claim the freedom of being one's full self, particularly as a queer woman of colour."
