There are a lot of things that you don't realize that your parents are going through when you're a kid.
I believe it's important to use my influence for a good cause, helping to reach millions of consumers who suffer from eye irritation, which made working with Clear Eyes feel like a natural fit.
I've been really, really fortunate to get some fantastic opportunities on Broadway, and I cherish all of them.
My parents were always supportive. They didn't say, 'Get a real job.' They believed in the arts, and they prepared me to be skilled. I'm lucky I can drop into these worlds - into a studio or onto a set or go on stage - and feel comfortable.
If you want my Tim Hortons order, I do get the egg and sausage and cheese on a biscuit. One is usually enough. If I'm really feeling greedy, I'll get two. I'll do that with a large coffee.
What makes characters so interesting when you're an actor or a dancer is to watch and observe how people walk and move and speak. Are they cat-like? Are they walrus-like? Why does that person bother me, and why do I think they are the way they are?
I've got a yoga instructor and a trainer. I just started a heavy-bag class, which is like boxing and cardio, and I salsa dance with my girlfriends. I try to do something every day. Continually exercising is natural for us.
Both my parents were educators, so interviews and college applications and shaking hands and looking people in the eye and feeling confident and knowing what you can bring to any project or audition - I've known about these things my entire life.
Kids are on their keyboards so much, between their smartphones and laptops, no one writes anything anymore. It's atrocious.
