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

I do feel pressure. I have always been able to surprise people because they didn't know to expect anything from me. And now people are starting to have expectations.

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

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 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.

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