I started out as a very traditional actor. The first thing I ever did in terms of performance was singing.

It's one thing to be struggling and not really making money in your early 20s and figuring out your life. Early 30s, you start to wonder, is this ever going to happen?

Even when I was struggling and had horrible day jobs and wanted to be successful but wasn't finding my way in, I knew what I had to do. I knew I had to keep working at it and keep putting material out there, even if no one was paying me for it.

I would not have a career without Facebook and Twitter. That's the truth.

Difficult People? I don't really know. I don't have those metrics.

I never fully committed to the child actor thing. I also liked being a regular kid and being a student.

When I opened my mouth to sing as a kid, I kind of randomly had a really good singing voice. And so that put me on the actor track and the musicals track.
