All my graduation money went to paying for bartending classes so I could have a side gig. I bartended for two months before I was supposed to move to New York and then two months later I got the job as an understudy in 'Sister Act' and haven't looked back since.

I was bartending in Boston five, six nights a week, living in my grandmother's condo. By the way, I'm a really good bartender - that's the only skill I can confidently say I have.

I was raised to want to work for a living. The idea of just sitting around or going shopping every day appalls me.

I was a bartender at a Pizzeria Uno's for nine years. The people I worked with were amazing, but it was quite possibly the most miserable time of my life.

I worked in restaurants, bars, record stores; I did anything and everything to pay my way through university and LAMDA.

I always liked having a good time. I got into this business because I got fired from any job I ever had because I stayed out late playing music.

I knew what my job was; it was to go out and meet the people and love them.

I came from Texas, I was studying theater at NYU, and I thought for sure that my lot in life would be to get the best bartending job I could find and do theater in New York. And that was a good life.
