The first play that I saw was 'Cyrano,' and I remember going home - I was like nine years old - and trying to learn the monologues.

I was called such names as a kid. Being the smallest boy in the class with a name like Caroll. I remember going home and saying to my mom, 'What were you thinking?'

I actually started singing in church when I was about five years old. I remember looking at the choirs and just hearing all of those great big beautiful voices. And there was this one woman who could just wail. And I remember trying to sing like her when I was like going home.

I saw my first Broadway show when I was 10 years old. I saw 'Big: The Musical' and I remember going out to dinner with my mom afterward and reading the souvenir program like crazy!

Going home must be like going to render an account.

I always wanted to perform. I remember being 5 years old and telling my parents to sit down as I was going to put on a play for them.
