It blows me away that my parents, they really weren't much into theater, but they recognized that in me. When I think about the things they did to support that, I'm blown away.

It was always theater for me. But part of that came out of the fact that I was always acting out as a kid. I was the kid who didn't play well with others.

I made theater very important in the beginning of my career.

My parents were brought up in families which believed theatre people weren't to be trusted. But they were nice people.

Theater has always been most important to my psyche.

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.

You know, I think I was always intrigued by theater since I was a small child.

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.

Choosing to be in the theatre was a way to put my roots down somewhere with other people. It was a way to choose a new family.

My family were broadminded enough to support me when I wanted to pursue a life in the theatre.
