I used to audition like crazy - I would go on a hundred before I got anything. It took me a long time to get any jobs at all. It was hard until I booked 'Galaxy Quest,' and then it started to get easier.

The older I get, the more I appreciate what came before.

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.

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.

My family is not at all involved in television, or film, or theatre, or any of it, really.

People will go into an audition and a casting situation, and they'll see someone across the room that's perhaps slightly famous, or famous, and they think, 'Oh God, I'm not gonna get the part.

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.
