When I was a kid, I wanted to be a boy. I really had gender issues. I really thought I was supposed to be a boy. I used to sneak into my dad's room and put on a suit, drink a cocktail, and pretend to smoke a cigarette.

But now that I've matured, I've realized that - at the end of the day - what's really important is the work, not what people think of me.

I've just always loved singing, and I come from a family that loves singing around the kitchen table.

No one's just going to hand you a career. I waited for years for someone to hand me one and it never happened.

To this day, I still would choose the angst over something easier, when I really don't have to.

I was a huge 'Friends' fan. I had a very small part. I played a real-estate agent in the very last season.

My first love, in my head, believe it or not, was Ron Howard.
