“My family took me to lots of theatre growing up, and I knew from an early age that I wanted to make it my life. I saw every national tour that came through Cleveland. I put on shows with marionette puppet theater. I used all the sheets in our house to hang curtains and put on my own plays. I was totally entranced by the magic, the storytelling, the wonder it instilled in me. And I loved quick-changes.”

“I don’t really hang on to direct advice so much as watch and emulate the people around me who I admire. The artists I admire the most are people who stay grounded, who work hard and attempt to find truth.”

“I think success in the theatre is feeling great about what you’ve done every night on stage. No matter where it is, no matter how much you’re getting paid, no matter who it’s with - leaving the theater every night knowing you left everything you had on that stage.”

“I think it is easy to forget that we are all dynamic artists with a breadth of dimensions to our talent. These people can do so much more than what you’ve seen…”
