I got serious about performing, and I got serious about acting. It’s very funny; singing has always been a very separate thing for me – until I went to college.

As an adult, you want to connect with people, and you want to feel accepted. Barrett Wilbert Weed Read Quote
There are good musicals that came from movies, like ‘Shrek’ and ‘Legally Blonde!’ But, um… they should never mess with ‘The Hunger Games.’ Barrett Wilbert Weed Read Quote
All you can really do is try to be a good person and try to make good decisions and try to survive. Barrett Wilbert Weed Read Quote
