The reality of an actor's life is that we do not always have the luxury of choice. We take what comes to us.

If singing a couple of songs in a benefit will help keep the Festival alive and known, well, how can I say no to that?

I've been proud to work on some really great children's shows, but they are not my only interest.

I still remember discovering the classic rock station when I was in high school and being totally blown away by it.

Even though I had a great deal of respect for children's TV and theatre, it wasn't my intent to specialize solely in that area. I did indeed want to work on shows like "Sesame Street" and I am honored to be even a small part of that legacy, but I also wanted to do characters that had wider vocabulary and satirical humor.

I think that so many actors are defined by the first thing that people see them do, and there were people who simply couldn't accept the fact that I was doing something that they perceived as being a radical departure from Avenue Q.

It just happens that there is more employment for puppeteers in preschool television than anywhere else.
