Acting, I started when I was six and a half years-old, on Broadway with Kurt Weill.
When I do a film that has nothing to do with Kurt Weill, then I am happy, I am on my own. But in a Kurt Weill work I am as nervous as a cat. A burden falls on my shoulders. I feel a crushing responsibility.
I was very, very young when I first started acting. My first movie role I was in, I was eight years old at the time. My mom got me involved in community theater stuff when I was like five or six years old. How I learned to read was by reading the captions on TV, and I grew up from a really young age watching tons of movies and television.
I sing; I started my career at 9 years old in 'Les Miserables' on Broadway.
I got into politics when I was eight years old. Six years now. And I got involved because I started listening to talk radio. It goes back to one event. The Democrats filibustered something in the Senate when I was eight years old. I don't remember what it was on and I didn't honestly care when I was eight years old. I cared about the history and the Senate rules.
In school, I did a lot of computer work. I'd take splices from Kurt Weill songs and loop them in bars, in beats of seven, trying all different kinds of things.
Bob was very influenced by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill. That huge type of creativity which takes nothing and makes it into something very wrenching.
My career as an actor started when I was six years old, taking dancing lessons. Then I started getting paid jobs to dance at the age of seven.
I started writing it six and a half years ago, so the landscape has changed a lot in that time.
I've been acting since I was six years old, but not professionally.
I started skating when I was six years old.
I started gymnastics when I was six years old. I was at day care, and they took us on a field trip to a gym club, Bannon's Gymnastix in Houston, and that's how I got started.
I've been training as an actor for six years. Nobody goes to acting school for six years. I mean, the college course is only four years! I absolutely trained.
I was six years old when the conflict started in Rwanda.
I started in theatre when I was 13 or 14 years old and did a lot of theatre until my early thirties. Off-Broadway stuff - off-off-off-off-Broadway stuff - and I do love it.
I'm thirty-six years old. I'm just getting started!
I started acting in 'The Sopranos' around 1999 and 2000. I did that for six years. That was quite a job, and I loved it.
