My mother always told me before shows to stand up and show them whose little boy you are.

When you think about Broadway, you think broad and big, but the fact is there are so many plays that are very intimate, but fill a 1,500-seat house. Plays like 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?' have deep moments of silence and intimacy to them.

The thing is that I'm an actor first, and in 'Once,' I was able to be a musician and a singer as well as an actor.

I would love to play Lee in 'True West' and Bobby in 'Company.

All I ever wanted to do was be on Broadway. I mean, remember, I grew up in a trailer.

I grew up in a very small, rural country town, and we didn't really have 'the arts.'
