The auditioning process is one in which the actor gets very little information about almost every element of it.
My strangest auditioning experience was when I was reading for a TV show, and right when I started the audition, the casting director left the room and yelled at me from the hallway to keep reading.
I don't think there is anything more bitter in American politics than a close election.
Idealism loses to pragmatism when it comes to winning elections.
I think I've had my fill of electoral law.
I don't use my writing career as a vehicle to get me acting work or to write roles for myself.
I have absolutely no musical talent of my own!
I really want my career to be as an actor-writer-director-producer, you know? I don't know what will be stronger than the other.
I studied voice for about two years with an amazing coach, and I never rose above the level of mediocre.
I think there are a lot more writers who are actors than you know; they just don't have roles on famous TV shows that you recognize.
I took a lot of writing courses.
I was a volleyball player as a kid. I played volleyball all the time.
I was alone a lot as a kid, because my parents were divorced.
I wouldn't say I'm a political junkie. I follow it. I read a few articles every day.
