Comedy is not something that had necessarily jumped out as something I'd immediately go for.

People have interesting things to say and you're only going to learn from different people's experience and knowledge.

What I like doing these days is spending more time with coaches because I think it's important to work on yourself.

I'm not good at just sitting around waiting for the phone to ring, hoping that the perfect role is going to turn up.

I've got to give my brother a lot of credit because he's always introduced me to a lot of things and those films spiked an interest of, "Wow, this is an incredible world, how do you be a part of that?" That definitely helped me through my school years of doing theater.

I like going to see live bands. Live bands can be quite heavy, but I think it's very relaxing at the same time because you feel so happy and chilled-out.

I did listen to 1920s jazz or Al Johnson and a lot of early singers coming out of England. I would branch out a little bit to get a sense of the world that he might be coming into, in the '30s when jazz was changing.
