As an actor, you most often play relatively average parts, so to get to play extreme versions of anything, those are the most exciting parts.

Mr. Steven Bochco is a very wise man. After a many-monthed nationwide search to find a precocious teenage doctor, he hired me.

I'm shocked at how early everything closes here. But people start earlier. I miss the late nightlife in NYC, but then again I sing and burn so much energy in the show that it's probably good - I get to go home and sleep.

I don't like to be disparaging about my past roles. That's the only taboo that I don't like to cross.

I do a lot of books on tape for Beverly Cleary, and another 'Smurfs' shout-out for that demographic.

In my 20s, I mostly ate burritos and nachos, with the occasional burger.

Before babies, I worked very hard to make sure I understood my surroundings and figured out where I fit in the world, whether it was at work or whether it was in a social situation. And with kids, you just can't. The rule is you can't really do that because they dictate and they change so much so you just have to go with the flow more and be present and not have big expectations and be amused all the time.
