Exercise Is An Important Element Of Being

I Remember Standing Outside Of The Dorm By The Little Terrace. I Was Going To Do This Job That I Wasn't 100 Percent Certain Of, Which Ended Up Being Much More Fun Than I Expected [in So Notorious].

I Went Away To This Summer Program After My Junior Year Of High School. They Used To Have This Thing Called The Governor's School, And They Had It For Different Disciplines - Science, Math, Performing Arts. I Auditioned And I Got Accepted, And It Was An Eight-week Program Away From Home. I Went For Acting. I Was 15, And I Turned 16 While I Was There, So That Was A Seminal Moment For Me. It Made Me Realize The Life Of It, The Discipline Of It, And The Joy Of That Discipline, Where It Was All We Did.

The Play I Did On Broadway A Couple Of Seasons Ago Started Out Of Town And It Moved Its Way Into New York Because Of The Experience That We Had Out Of Town.

I Think I Integrated That Over The First Couple Of Years That I Was Out Of School, Mostly In Auditions, To Be Honest.

I Went To High School Directly Across The Street From Carnegie Mellon, Actually, And I Knew People That Were A Couple Of Years Older Than Me That Went There. I Was Able To See Shows In The Drama Department, And Hang Out There Little Bit, And It Just Felt Like A Natural Progression. It Was At The Top Of My List.
