I went to School of the Arts in Winston-Salem, and we had a bunch of singing classes. My first job in New York was an Off-Broadway musical.

I've been acting since second grade, and I just remember when I first moved to New York and I was living in Washington Heights with three other actors in this tiny apartment and busting my butt to get to the subway, walking to, like, five auditions in a day.

I started doing regional theater. My first job was 'The Importance of Being Earnest' at Dallas Theater Center.

I think everybody wants to be a rock star.

I went to college at North Carolina School of the Arts and took a lot of singing classes, and it really is so connected to emotions.

Ultimately, I don't think you can teach a tone-deaf person how to sing. Some talents you're just born with, unfortunately.
