I love the stage and try to balance it out with movies. If you take the stage away from me, then nothing will be left in my life.
If I had my way, I'd always be onstage. But I won't always be able to be onstage.
It's just what I'm born to do, I'm born to entertain people. I could do it for thirty-thousand people or three people, it's just what I know how to do. My soul objective only is for me to have the audience say 'when's the next time I can see him?' That's what I do.
I've always got the itch to play. I don't like sitting out too long.
I was a stage-struck child from about 5 years onward.
I want to be back on Broadway one day. That's a dream of mine. There's nothing like live theater, and I think it's so important for me to be able to be on stage with an audience that responds.
I love entertaining people, and I want to pursue it.
I've always wanted to be a voice actor. Well I think at first I wanted to be a singer. Then in middle school I auditioned for a musical and I only really cared because I wanted to sing in it. I had to act as well as part of the audition and that was the first time I ever really acted, and I was like 'Oh hey, this is fun, I like doing this.'
There are two different kinds of actors. There are people who take it just so damn seriously. Then there are guys like me that just get up and love doing it.
I've always been an entertainer. It's in my blood, in the sense that I've always loved doing it.
I am a huge theatre geek.
My live performance, it just comes from feeling an energy and emotion from the crowd. Just going out there and doing my own stuff and being in front of my own people. I love it.
Once you step on that stage, to me, that's where I feel most comfortable - performing live. So that's something would do each and every day of my life if I could.
That theater community that comes with acting and being in the theater is second nature to me. It's in my blood.
I've never worked as much as I would've wanted to, and that's why I end up doing a lot of stage as well, because stage is a full course meal.
The drama nerd comes out in me when I'm in a theater.
I have just a really strong love for people when I perform. I really do.
There was one tour where I thought, "If I can't get this feeling back of being excited to be on the stage, then I will quit." Because I have friends who have dialed it in and I watch their concerts and shake my head. I'm sure the audience can tell, too.
I love to perform. I've never lost the urge. I've never once been on stage when I didn't want to be.
Sometimes I just rely on technique on stage, but it's not about technique. It's about how much you want to deliver the message to the audience. That's all.
I suppose after 'Four Weddings' I was very busy for a bit, and I imagined that was my career, but I never had that thing of, 'I'm burning to be an actor. If I don't act, I'm not alive.' I've never had that.
