I think I was about seven when people started telling my parents I would be an actor or a performer of some kind.

My parents were really, really cool about supporting what I wanted to do at a really young age. I think I was about 10 when I caught the bug. They would drive me down to New York if there were auditions. When I was 12, I did this show on Broadway called 'High Society,' so we moved to New York for the run of that.

I started at home as a kid putting on shows and lip-syncing Michael Jackson for the grown-ups. Then, in musicals and plays in school. At 17, I was performing in coffee shops and in parking lots at Phish shows. At 18, I had a band that played local shows in the Northwest.

I started performing when I was 9 or 10, doing magic.

I got into the studio when I was thirteen. At the age of twelve I was doing public performances.

I really did sneak into Broadway shows, starting when I was 12.

I saw my first two Broadway shows when I was 4 years old, 'The Lion King' and 'Beauty and the Beast,' and after both of them I came home and reenacted the entirety of the shows on my living room table for my family and friends. I started doing that after every show I saw until I actually did my first youth production when I was 5.

I have been aware, from the age of 6, that I had talent.

I'd done some acting stuff when I was younger, around age nine.
