My sister is as responsible for anyone for giving me good taste in music.

I loved musicals. I loved being in the school play and being lucky enough to get parts in the school play. But they always took place in some other time and place.

I read reviews, I'm not going to lie to y'all. Like you know, I'll read 'em, but then, the next day I'm able to sort of shrug them off. But if something sort of sticks the next day, there's probably something to it. I just sort of really try to trust my gut on, on all that stuff.

My rhymes are gonna kill, so I suggest you write your will and leave your [expletive] to me.

It's an enormous relief to go to work and be an actor and not be worried about writing.

The problem is I got a lot of brains but no polish.

I think every writer's had the experience of having a really good idea, waiting to write it, and then once you write it, you're like, "Oh I kind of got past the sell by date on this." I'm not connected to the initial spark that was the idea. A lot of that's about staying open.
