I grew up in Queens and New Jersey. I started doing children's theater when I was seven to get out of school because I didn't fit in.

Acting is kind of difficult to intellectualize - it's a far more visceral experience. It's really hard to be able to think about and then employ these kind of esoteric notions of this person's backstory and try to weave it in somehow. It's just kind of impossible.

If I get no sleep the night before a show, I feel that performance is the best one.

I often think if you have time to sit around the house feeling bad for yourself, you have time to tutor a child. I'm guilty of that exact thing. I will spend more time sitting around feeling bad for myself than actually helping somebody.

Devils don't come from hell beneath us, they come from the sky.

I think I'm an abstinence symbol. If I take my shirt off, people will not have babies.

I'm not into music - the only music I like is musical theater, but I have every Ween album.
