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.

I've never been good at making smart career decisions or doing the right strategic thing, and yet somehow it's all led me to exactly the kind of career that I would have dreamed of having - if only I'd been smart enough to dream something like that.

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.

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

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!

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