I have a very open mind. I believe that there's a spirit world. I believe that there's a lot of stuff out there that we don't know about, don't want to understand, and sometimes we don't want to understand it.

We all sing about the things we're thinking; musicals are about expressing those emotions that you can't talk about. It works a real treat.

I think Giles' journey has been fascinating. I think that's what made it such a joy to play. The character was never static; you never knew what his deal was. And you still don't know what his deal is. The conflicts I was given to play are not soapy, they're not silly things or huge story arcs.

I sang with a band and all that stuff, but I did make a choice at one point to favor acting as a career just because that seemed to be the way to go.
