I graduated from high school early so I could move to New York to do 'A Little Night Music' out of the New York City Opera.
I find that when I play reality-based characters, it is only as fun for me if I have a lot of time to do research. If I don't it just isn't exciting but if I do, it can be fun because I can learn about that person and the world that they live in and I can become somebody else.
