I don't see my show as a stepping stone to something else like some people, who get a job then have a foot out the door looking for their next job.

I hated the summer jobs I had when I was a teenager. They were so mundane and repetitious, they deadened my soul. On the bright side, it was good training for this job.

I aim to please. I'm nothing if not a vaudevillian.
