1 Age

  • 1. To be told that one can be dependent on one's parents until age 26 should strike a young person who wants to grow up as demeaning not as something to celebrate.
  • 2. People are so busy dreaming the American Dream fantasizing about what they could be or have a right to be that they're all asleep at the switch. Consequently we are living in the Age of Human Error.
  • 3. I want to age with some dignity.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I do think musical-theater actors can get a bad rap and I see why. There is a certain slickness – there's nothing better than an amazing musical but an okay musical can be one of the worst times you've ever had.
  • 2. That's double-edged: it's amazing that they're bringing me in and showing people new ideas and at the same time it's a little hard because seventy percent of the time or even higher I'm not going to get those roles.
  • 3. I've seen Bruno Mars before he's amazing.

3 Anger

  • 1. Generalised anger and frustration is something that gets you in the studio and gets you to work – though it's not necessarily evident in anything that's finished.
  • 2. I think I would cope like anyone copes with any tragedy. I'm sure I would be very upset for a while and then there would come a point where I would either have to stay in this place of darkness and anger or I'd have to accept that it happened.
  • 3. Deep down my mom had long suspected I was gay… Much of her anger and hurt came from her sense of betrayal that she was the last to be told.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. The bonds of matrimony are like any other bonds – they mature slowly.
  • 2. My mother and stepfather were married 43 years so I have watched a long marriage. I feel like I had a very good role model for that. And you know it's just a number.
  • 3. So I think you have to marry for the right reasons and marry the right person.

5 Architecture

  • 1. I would fix other people's lines if they asked me on occasion. The hard part of writing is the architecture of it getting the story and structuring it. Not the tweaking of lines.
  • 2. I would have liked maybe to be in architecture or painting something connected to the fine arts.
  • 3. In art or architecture your project is only done when you say it's done. If you want to rip it apart at the eleventh hour and start all over again you never finish. I was one of those crazy creatures.
