I was as happy doing theater in New York for little or no money as I am now doing television for more money. The happiness I guess comes out of it being a good job. The success has to do with the fact that it's a good job that will continue.

I fell in love with theater there and after graduation I moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting.

At the School of Visual Arts in New York you can get your degree in Net art which is really a fantastic way of thinking of theater in new ways.

I didn't do improv in college I never performed I didn't do theater either. I was in student government I was a history major.

I've been doing musical theater since I was a kid. And look for a CD from me in the future. I want to write all the songs!

When I was in college I was in the theater department which for anyone who has been involved in any kind of theater program you know that it's really wacky and tight-knit a real family. Me and my good friends from college would do random shows and plays that were sometimes serious but most of the time really goofy and funny.

When I was doing ensemble theater and comedy work I felt I had some talents. But when I started doing my shows in Berkeley and found that I could be funny on my own I was shocked.

The very first things that I did even in theater were bad guys. They are meaty roles for the most part. With the bad guy you have more freedom to experiment and go further out than with a good guy.

I had a job at a movie theater for like a year and a half and then a job at a health food store for like two years. Those were the only two jobs I ever had.

The wonderful thing about Food for Thought is that it lets you keep your hand in theater and be in front of a live audience without a commitment of six months or even three months.
