"'Smash' has a set in Brooklyn, and on my first day of work, I said, 'I'm going to be a real New Yorker, get there on my own and not spend $30 on a cab.' But I went the wrong way on the subway, and when I asked for directions, the person in the booth was mean to me. So I ended up crying and in a cab anyway. Now the show sends a van for me." -- Kat McPhee

'American Idol' runner up and 'Smash' actress Kat McPhee recalls trying to act like "a real New Yorker" and being told off by a MTA employee. That's alright, Kat ... words can't bring you down!
