I was five years old; I got addicted to being on stage. I felt like it was the most wonderful place on Earth, performing in front of an audience, who in this case were a bunch of classmates, kids my age.

I did some theater as a kid for fun. But it was really by chance that I landed into acting.

I was one of those kids who liked a lot of attention. I was always the kid in class who'd be telling jokes and getting in trouble. Theater was a natural way for me to channel that and also become a productive member of society.

I was 11 when a teacher suggested to my parents that they should send me to drama classes to curb my disruptive ways in the classroom. The next Saturday I was acting, and thereafter it became a ritual of my youth to see a show at the Belvoir on Sundays and, if I was lucky, another at the Opera House on Monday after school.

When I was a child, I went to stage school three times a week in the evenings - singing, ballet, tap, modern and acting, and I loved it.

While I was growing up all over, in all my different schools, I was always doing theater, auditioning for plays.

As a kid, I dreamed about being onstage.

I did a lot of theater when I was in high school and college. I also did stand-up in college, so it was always part of what I did.

When I was growing up, I was always on stage but I loved other things.

I did little theater things growing up.
