Having red hair is never good when you're a kid. I was picked on a lot and didn't have a lot of friends. But I think that gave me a thick skin and helped make me a better person.

I still feel like a novice when it comes to classical theater, but I don't ever want to become comfortable with anything. The greatest creativity comes from being nervous and uncomfortable.

All my roots are Broadway. I got my Equity Card doing a Broadway show, and my first love is theater.

I get great joy from creating the perfect Norman Rockwell holiday. This is why I think I might be Martha Stewart's brother from another mother.

Growing up, I was a very shy kid but I felt that being on stage or playing another character would somehow open me up. And I think it did.

Well, certainly at the Golden Globes, during every commercial break everyone gets up and schmoozes with each other.

I think if I produced a show I would not want to be part of that production. That's not... I'm not... I mean, I couldn't even sell Boy Scout chocolate bars when I was a kid!
