I was inadvertently raised in the 'gay community.' I had straight parents, but I spent massive amounts of time at a very early age with gay, theater-hopeful thirty-somethings.
I'm not a mean person.
We are a categorically obsessed culture, where we have to compartmentalize everything in reference to another thing, like, 'What does it sound like? Does it sound like this?'
I believe singing should be like being an actor. People shouldn't have any problem buying an actor being in a comedy or a drama or a horror film. That should be the same way with music.
I've always enjoyed fashion and dressing up for things, whether it's high fashion or play fashion.
Fashion is about owning whatever you're wearing, regardless of if it's a high fashion statement or not.
Hollywood is a strange, strange thing. I feel like I've been invited to a very exclusive ball and I'm just trying to make nice with everybody and hope that if they kick me out they'll at least give me a ride home.
For me, I think everybody with half a heart tries to do their best to do their part of good during the holiday season.
I've always loved Broadway, but I never thought I'd actually do it because I was never a full Broadway dancer. And I don't have a big, booming voice.
I think people love to attach themselves to the idea of an overnight success. That may be true about me.
I wish I was old Hollywood.
I play mostly guitar, and I played drums in my brother's band for a while growing up.
It's always important to recognize your situation and not take it for granted.
Challenge is good for any relationship.
I'm ambitious in the sense that I raise the bar high for myself.
I'm very specific and ambitious in plotting out my goals and never take no for an answer - so it's not like things just fall in my lap.
I mean, part of me would love to be a fat tenured professor of theater someday.
I'm this goofball. I look at myself in the mirror, and the person that I know doesn't match up to what I think people love to perceive me as.
Theater is a living creature. It takes a while to break in, like a new pair of shoes.
I'm always just waiting for someone to cut me off; I'm a chatty guy.
