It doesn't always click for people or they don't know the show - which I can't imagine - but there are people out there who don't.
There are some people who believe that these are not real stories with real people, but they actually are.
More people need to inhabit this world.
There's always going to be someone who hates you. There's always going to be people who love you. It's a risk in either direction.
It's fun to be surrounded by people that you love.
I'm good at asking other people questions, but I'm not really good at answering questions.
It's great when you have people who will speak passionately and honestly about what they are doing.
It's not every day people fly you to New York for auditions.
My apartment is the equivalent of one room in my Toronto home. Now I understand why New Yorkers are on the streets at all hours. People don't want to stay inside for fear they'll go crazy.
It's weird how you can make people feel comfortable, and then ask them an uncomfortable question, but it doesn't ruin their day.
