I do think musical-theater actors can get a bad rap and I see why. There is a certain slickness - there's nothing better than an amazing musical but an okay musical can be one of the worst times you've ever had.

Being a teenager is an amazing time and a hard time. It's when you make your best friends - I have girls who will never leave my heart and I still talk to. You get the best and the worst as a teen. You have the best friendships and the worst heartbreaks.

Happy the man and happy he alone he who can call today his own he who secure within can say tomorrow do thy worst for I have lived today.

A man is never completely alone in this world. At the worst he has the company of a boy a youth and by and by a grown man - the one he used to be.
