When I first started auditioning I would stutter a lot because I was so terribly frightened.

No one escapes being haunted by something that absolutely terrifies them to the core, but very few feel it's okay to admit what it is that haunts us.

I always wanted to be an actor, but with a speech impediment it's kind of tough. I decided to roll the dice and take an acting class, which was very, very nerve-wracking... my stomach would just be in knots.

I had a stutter 'till... I still do today. I just work on it a lot. I obsess, if you will, with it, but I stuttered throughout my childhood.

I played baseball in college but I didn't identify with the jocks, I was in my own little world .

I couldn't help feeling people thought I was a moron, and my self-imposed insecurity constantly bedeviled me.

I try to maintain the perspective that life is meant to be laughed at.
