My teachers encouraged me to audition for some professional work during our summer vacation. I landed my first job. It was for the National Theatre Company's Mimika Pantomime troupe. I ended up touring with them for the next two years.

[Kids today] think Grease is just one long music video. So they watch it over and over again the way we, when we were kids, we listened to albums.

When anything is wrong with your child, your first instinct is to make it better.

When I was in fourth grade... this wonderful teacher said you didn't have to write a book report, you could just talk about the book, you could do a drawing of the book, you could write a play inspired by the book, and that's what I did. I got to be so famous. I had to go around to every school and perform it. It was just so natural and fun.

I wouldn't believe there was something 'wrong' with my son.

I love working in the theater.
