I think a lot of young kids at school are very conscious of trying to keep credibility in case they kind of stand out in a crowd and get bullied by trying to stay cool and stuff. And my whole thing, all the way through school, was I was just a goof... I didn't care.

I got booed off the stage one time. This was in a University in Florida. The students didn't know that I had to come back out 6 more times, because I was hosting the show. They just thought that I was a comedian opening the show.

My parents have basically just taught me the rules of the stage and everything since I was eight.

I've never really been one to get what they call stage fright so much.

Almost everyone who has claimed to know what kids need to learn or how they learn has turned out to be wrong.

I grew up doing stage work as a child and as a teenager, so the stage is my home where I feel most comfortable.

Yeah, well that's the best thing about it, I think, is knowing kids and kids getting mental when they know you're in it. Any kid you meet and anyone I know tells the kid you're in it and they get short of breath.

There is a lot going on in high schools, and I think what we portray is fairly accurate.

Unfortunately, in some parts of the country, some kids are taught at an early age that being different is somehow bad or wrong or worthy of ridicule.
