When you're just using words, you're limiting yourself to everyday casual speak. As soon as you start to sing, you can unlock the stuff that's underneath.
There's a great adage that says we sing because what we have to express can't be spoken, just using words.
I was very shy and I was very introverted as a kid, but whenever I set foot on stage, I kind of opened up, and I think a lot of kids need an outlet to express their creativity. And a lot of kids are scared to do that if there's not a safe environment for that.
People love music, they love songs and they love movies. I just don't understand how, along the way, a musical become something that was less than both of those, instead of being something that is an incredible merge of two things that people love.
What I love about doing musical work is that it heightens the emotion.
I am a Broadway theatre guy... so it was kind of my goal this year to come out to LA for pilot season and expand my horizons
