If we had an audience to play to, the performance would have gotten too big. Sizing our performances to the camera was an important journey for me at least.

Some people have jobs where other people don’t clap for them. I don’t understand that.

I find human behavior to be fascinating, which is probably why I'm an actor, and I think that there are a lot of dangerous misconceptions about mental illness in our society, and I would like to be a part of remedying that - particularly the stigma that surrounds so many mental illnesses.

Well, I'm grateful for all the experiences that I've had.

I don't think theater is dying, and musicals are a great American art form. We've got apple pie, jazz and musical theater.

Being in front of a live audience again. I get that in my concerts but there's nothing like being on Broadway.

I think there's that weird bastardization where musical theatre actors are treated as almost like vaudevillians or circus performers - that we're somehow not good actors because we sing and dance.
