What is your favorite color? “Pink, believe it or not.”

How is your sense of smell? “Honestly, could be better.”
What food do others love but you find disgusting? “Boba tea. Can’t stand the texture of the little balls.”
What's a food you love but others find disgusting? “I dip my fries in mayo. I know. I’ll leave now.’
Are ghosts real? “Yes. So are curses. I work in the theater, I’ve seen it all.”
What is your glove size? “Size 9 in men’s.”
Can you do a backflip on demand? “I’m pretty sure I would die.”
When was the last time you climbed a tree? “Real or fake, because real… don’t remember, and fake was last year when we were doing Into the Woods and I had to shimmy up the proscenium arch to help with lighting.”
What is your Deepest Yearning? “A single performance where nobody in the audience has their cell phone out.”
There are two types of people in this world. What are the two types? “Actors and everybody else.”
What shade of blue is the ocean? “It’s cheating to say ocean blue, but I’m going to go for the cop out here and say ocean blue because these other questions are more interesting.”
Have you ever gone into a room and forgotten why? “Yes, that’s why I have this notepad. I write things down so I don’t forget them. It pays to be organized.”

Is pineapple acceptable on pizza? “Yes.”

If the moon is full at midnight on a Thursday in June twenty years from now, is it high tide or low tide? “Depends on which hemisphere you’re in, I think.”
