“I did my first Broadway play, 'The Vertical Hour,' in 2006, with Julianne Moore, who's always been one of my favorite actresses. My scene was with her, so it was nerve-racking.”

“I'm in a comic book now. That was cool. That's something that I'm still sorta reeling about, 'cause I read comics as a kid. Someone drew me, and actually did a pretty good job!”

“I was born and raised in Las Vegas, and then I left there to go to the University of Evansville where I majored in theatre.”

“I went to NYU thinking, 'I'm going to graduate, and then I'm going to book something on Broadway and live in New York for the rest of my life.' That was my life plan.”

“It's a very tough time for the playwright. Broadway has become almost a musical comedy theme park with all these long-running shows.”

“Oh, I am such a nerd when it comes to music - I only listen to Broadway!”
