New York is all about people and the things people make.

Where I grew up has had a huge influence on me. It's a place where there aren't many people and there's lots of sky.

I started writing just to have a creative outlet during the down time.

The big turning point came when I played in the pit orchestra for a production of SWEENEY TODD and I spent most of the time watching the play instead of playing the score! And that's when I knew I had it bad for acting.

New York is all about people and the things people make.

The Broadway schedule is so tough, so relentless there was almost no time to enjoy all the stuff.

It's fascinating to watch the progress that is made during previews. The coolest thing is watching the actors take over the show, and make it there own.
