I have to pay attention. Every three days I have to put gas in it.

Just getting nominated is insane. We'll find out if we're selected in April. That will be two weeks in Scotland at the largest arts festival in the world. It's a great honored just to be considered. Representing the United States would be a big thing.

I think it really helped to open their eyes and minds to the profession. It definitely made everything more realistic to them, whether they are going on college auditions or other auditions. They could relate more to a professional than a teacher. Colin didn't have an air about him. He was down to earth and made the kids feel comfortable. It really was a great day.

The kids had a blast. Colin was able to give them insight about professional acting, and the students were able to tap into what it's like out there, auditioning, trying to find work. I think he was able to bring some reality to them. Usually, they never get a chance to see the reality. They all want to be stars. But this was also a chance to see how many jobs there are in the Broadway industry, not just acting.

I made a few phone calls to friends, and they hooked me up. I used my professional contacts.

You're your own boss. No one tells you anything.
