I sort of grew up doing theater. And that's how I got into film, actually.

I grew up doing musical theater.

I grew up wanting to be a writer for theatre.

If I hadn't gone into the theater, I would be a painter.

I started in theatre. I went to the Boston Conservatory and majored in musical theater.

I grew up performing in theatre.

I had a background in theater as an actor, and then a photographer, and then as an experimental filmmaker and editor.

I was always interested in the arts as a child - drawing, painting, and piano - but acting became a favourite. I was a major theatre geek in high school - if I wasn't in the drama room at lunch rehearsing, I'd be in the art room finishing up some type of project.

I thought I was going to be a theater actor. I moved to New York after college and did some plays and worked a lot. Once the realities of living as a theatrical actor hit me, I realized I wanted to start making a little bit of money and not have to bartend and work in theater.
