I was studying to go into theater, but I don't think I'll ever do Wall Street again. There's a part of me that loves to talk about money, but nothing will shorten your life like worrying about money. Show less «

It's amazing how life comes full circle. Before I hit New York, I was doing concerts - as a strolling troubadour - at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia. At that time, I was in grad school, also performing in a restaurant, and singing paid for the schooling. Show less «

I find that singing and acting are totally different skills. Acting as a separate exercise makes me better at doing musicals, when I need to sing.

The salary [from stockbroking] paid for acting and dancing classes. But four years later, I quit, and two years later, I was in 'Les Miz' and stayed for a year and a half. It all flew. Quickly. I still fit in my original uniform. Over the years, I've been told that I was the epitome of the role, though I don't think I could ever go back to doing it now. But maybe as Valjean? Show less «
