“Being a celebrity. It’s something that I never wanted. I actually really try not to be one. I wanted to be respected as an actor and that’s why right after high school I knew I had to be in New York City and so I moved there, and I trained really hard and I started in the ensemble of a Broadway show and I kind of worked my way up the Broadway ranks. TV is great, [but] I think television is a writer’s medium and I feel that film is a director’s medium. The stage is the place where an actor can really take charge. You know you go on a great journey every single night and there’s nothing like it… I’m craving that live performance – to be in front of an audience again.”
