My mom played me all kinds of music, from Ella Fitzgerald to Celine Dion. I listened to everything growing up, old and new.

I appreciate the level of professionalism and talent that I get to be around every night, eight times a week.

I'm definitely interested in acting. I've done it in my past. I know I can do it, let's put it that way. And it's so much fun.

I grew up doing certain little things in the musical theatre realm, but I didn't really understand that you could... make a career out of it.

For an author, the nice characters aren't much fun. What you want are the screwed up characters. You know, the characters that are constantly wondering if what they are doing is the right thing, characters that are not only screwed up but are self-tapping screws. They're doing it for themselves.

People are appreciating my work, and it feels good when people like my work.

I feel like I need to start wearing a T-shirt saying 'This is not a photo opportunity'. People are so lovely but you do find that when you're out you spend 40% of your time posing for photographs.

I tend to navigate by indirection, meaning that most of the major things in my life have happened when I've been thinking about something else.
