I studied voice at Yale with Blake Stern from the music school, and he had me singing German lieder and Italian songs.

I was a big 'X-Files' fan. I always lamented that I never got to be on 'The X-Files'.

My life/career is more filled with left-field thrills than I could ever have hoped for.

I'm not one of those actors who's very good at having a list of roles that I want to play someday - which is bad, because I really need to do it. I have people in theaters ask me what I want to do and I don't have an answer!

For music, I always just played music myself - and, I had rock bands and wrote songs and put bands together that were loud, but not especially good. That was sort of the place music had in my career.

My father is a university professor so when the schools needed a little kid for their productions I was often the kid they used. The first time I was ever on stage was about 2nd grade.

For me, awards are not what I really care about - the work is what I really care about. And, I am especially proud that I was acknowledged for doing work that I was so proud of and that meant a lot to me.
