Quotes

Entertainment has this way of resetting itself.

I mean, I like to consider myself a reasonably athletic guy.

but I grew up with a Nintendo controller in my hand.

My high school experience was pretty good, but my middle school,experience was god awful. It was horrible. I got picked on like no,tomorrow.

I started in theater, and I love to go back to theater, just to have the,experience and recharge my batteries, creatively.

On a personal level, I love the idea of hosting an awards show. I think,that sounds like kind of a fun thing to do.

My whole background, my whole life was just lots and lots of theater, a,lot of that being musical theater.

I want to go create my own independent content and entertainment, in new,models and in new ways, and essentially show studios and networks that,people are good.
