My dad was a jingle writer, and my mom was a jewelry designer and musician.

It's always mildly unnerving when you're hanging upside down 70 feet in the air.

No matter what you're going through, as long as you have some specific emotion, whether it's positive or negative, it is all stuff that you can use on stage.

I was on Broadway for three years with Spiderman and that amount of time spent on a show - it's a grind being on Broadway. The people that do that are probably the hardest working people. I shouldn't say that, because there's a lot of hard work that goes on in film and television, as well. That consistency of the grind of eight shows a week - I feel ready to go back to it now after having a bit of a break. I like to have the chance to jump between different art forms, whether it be theatre, film, TV, music. It's really wonderful to have opportunities in different arenas.

My dad, being a jingle writer, and my mom, being a jingle singer, they hooked me up with some people when I was a kid that worked with children's jingle singing groups. I used to sing jingles as a kid.

I don't actually like explaining the meanings of my songs, because I think people can take away more from it if they use their imagination.

I write about my life and my own experience, but I also write about things that I have no knowledge of whatsoever.
