I was very fortunate to have some great mentors. A father that was always in my life set the example every day at home. Everybody asks me, 'What was your role model?' My role model slept 20 feet from me every night. I could always go talk to him and ask him questions no matter what it was about.

I had many, many mentors that I worked with. Music teachers, choir directors, directors in summer stock or in regional theater. You know, people I was able to work with repeatedly and learn from who were really sort of appropriate people for me to work with at a given time in my development as an actor.

I've had many mentors, but the one that has the most impact was my mother.

I was lucky that I met the right mentors and teachers at the right moment.

I've definitely had mentors, whether parents or friends or actors who I like.

Mine were informal mentors. They were all in my working life.

I have, I think, eight mentors. It's crazy, but I need them. They are all really important to me. They keep me grounded and advise me.

I had some really incredible people who mentored me and gave me things I never got from my parents.
