Playing in my early bands, working as a studio musician, producing and going to art school was, in retrospect, my apprenticeship. I was learning and creating a solid foundation of ideas, but I wasn't really playing music.

Originally I studied as a musician, a classical pianist. That was my career before I took up acting in my late 20s.

I trained as a singer before I was an actor. I was a kid singer, I went to theater and choir school, and then I got music scholarships throughout my education. And that's what I was going to do. And then I took a left turn and went to drama school and became an actor.

I went into musical theatre, which I'm not really cut out for - I'm not as skilled at it as other people.

I trained in the theatre.

I have a lot of experience in the studio, performing onstage, talking to an audience. I learned most of that stuff when I was performing with my mom.

I played piano, I learned a lot about music.

I studied music formally. I was probably less formal about my study of acting than anything.

I taught myself how to play the guitar. I never studied music.
