I grew up in the Southern Baptist Church, where my father was a minister at music, so I sang in the church all the time.

I'm really tall - almost six feet - and my features tend to be extreme, especially on TV.

I feel more comfortable when I'm somebody else, I think. When I'm taking a picture as myself, the whole idea of taking a headshot, to me, feels very false.

It's so fun to do theater, because as opposed to television, you just keep doing it again and again and again - every night. Sometimes it lands beautifully, and sometimes it lands just beside of it. It's like throwing a horseshoe. It's great fun.

I started performing in high school. There was a pretty great drama department at my school, and that's when I started doing plays and musicals.

I used to audition for musicals when I was in New York before I moved to L.A., but I couldn't quite hit a certain note, so I saw a teacher in L. A. who helped me get better at it. She showed me how to use a different part of my voice. You are never too old.
