I am a Broadway theatre guy... so it was kind of my goal this year to come out to LA for pilot season and expand my horizons

There's a great adage that says we sing because what we have to express can't be spoken, just using words.

Oh, I try to stay as far away from karaoke as humanly possible!

I've written songs before, and I don't want to share them with anybody. It's really personal for me, that sort of creative outlet where you put your emotions to paper or put to song. I don't do it that much anymore, but to let someone in on that outlet and to have it susceptible to judgment is scary.

What I love about doing musical work is that it heightens the emotion.

If you could do 'Moving Too Fast' and 'Nobody Needs To Know' really, really well, you kind of knew you would make it someday, somehow!

People love music, they love songs and they love movies. I just don't understand how, along the way, a musical become something that was less than both of those, instead of being something that is an incredible merge of two things that people love.

Bonnie and Clyde grew up in absolute poverty. They didn't go to school or have any money; the only way they could figure out how to get ahead was to steal. The banks were foreclosing on everyone's homes. I think a lot of people will be able to relate to that struggle.

When you're just using words, you're limiting yourself to everyday casual speak. As soon as you start to sing, you can unlock the stuff that's underneath.

When you're performing on Broadway every night, you're so much more accessible to people in the industry. Everybody is going to know who you are.

'The Last Five Years' is this quintessential piece, and every song is an actor's song, and every song is incredibly difficult and incredibly powerful and incredibly amazing. It was one of those things in college where, like, you gauged how good you were by how well you were able to pull off a song from 'The Last Five Years.'

I was very shy and I was very introverted as a kid, but whenever I set foot on stage, I kind of opened up, and I think a lot of kids need an outlet to express their creativity. And a lot of kids are scared to do that if there's not a safe environment for that.
