Both of my parents have been actors; there were a lot of show tunes on in the car all of the time. I grew up with that.

Some actresses are just insane. I've never worked with a nasty actress - they're all absolutely delightful. But completely barking.

I pretty much left full-time, formal education when I was 11. So that was when I was taken out of the school system... I think the longest stretch I would go back for was a term and a half when I was about 14.

I want to prove to people that I'm an actor and not just a character.

I was very much a product of the public-school system. There was only one other kid in my class who had parents not involved in the stock market or law.
