I have a fear of heights and I'm claustrophobic.

I did learn that there's no point in eating too much Vitamin C because it comes out of your bladder.

The really good stand up comedians can be angry but relatable, and they have interestingly humanizing personalities. Their observational skills are far greater than mine, so I'll just stick to reading lines off a page.

People at the University of Portland were accepting and loving and open-minded. When you have a safety net, it allows you to take risks.

I went to the University/Resident Theatre Association auditions. Deans come and watch you in this theater. You have three minutes, and you have to do two contrasting monologues - at that time, this is 2003 - one classical and one contemporary.

No one ever sees the sleepless nights, the years of studying and 14-hour days earning your dues. I spent three years isolated in an academic environment to be the best actor I could.

I have a dialect myself; it's more pronounced, because I have studied theatre and been in England. It's half-British, half-Indian.
