I missed a lot of school for auditions, but other than that I had a very normal childhood.

Choirs, auditions, talent shows, I was doing it all.

When I was five I thought auditions were a great way to get out of school!

It wasn't until late high school and early college that I gained enough size and skill to make me welcome on intramural basketball teams.

As I got older, I auditioned for drama school and shocked myself by getting in.

My auditions for drama school were miserable, but one thing I had on my side, although I had no experience or skill or training, was that I wanted to learn everything.

In those days I was terrible at athletics and never made a team, but quite easily led my class in academics.

I auditioned for a play in fifth grade, and that's when I knew that I wanted to be a singer and performer.

The school plays needed kids that were big and bold and weren't afraid to be on stage, and I fit that bill, so I was expected to do it. And then I went to college, and the exact same thing happened.

In high school I was on the basketball team, but the coach did something I didn't dig and the next day he looked up and saw me practising with the football team.
