I was in the school plays, I did a lot of music. I carried on through university for short films and loads of plays.

I started in theatre. I was at Cleveland and I went to London for the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's birth.

I actually did Shakespeare when I was at North Carolina School of the Arts. I studied with Gerald Freedman and Mary Irwin - it was fun; I enjoyed it.

I had my life Monday through Friday in school, and then I had my 'real life,' which was my acting class on Saturday.

My school was OK, but I just wanted to do music. I was a bit of a daydreamer. I wish I'd gone back and paid more attention.

I started out doing theater in New York. I used to go to Shakespeare in the Park a lot.

After graduation, I was floundering in L.A., doing stand-up comedy and working in a shoe store in the Valley.

Then I got out of the service, and I was going to be a Shakespearean actor.

The highlight of my undergraduate years was a year-long Shakespeare course I took with Edward Tayler.

The bits I most remember about my school days are those that took place outside the classroom, as we were taken on countless theatre visits and trips to places of interest.
