I will never leave the theater. My heart is there and I love being on stage eight times a week.

I don't do too much looking back and regretting things - not that I haven't made tons of mistakes. But I do think people are in our lives so we can learn lessons and evolve as better human beings.

I definitely use my music to kind of alleviate my stress and get me through specific moments in time where I'm just being really tough on myself.

The one who tried too hard, the outsider, the oddball. Yeah, that was me.

Nerves are good. They keep you alive.

You get to relive your childhood when you have a baby and you see these toys and these books you read when you were little - the innocence that you are able to maintain because you have to find that again in order to connect with your child keeps you in a special state of mind.

I love working with a cast and a group of people every day, which is different than recording because you're usually pretty isolated and alone. They serve as a good balance for each other.
