I always had a love of music, from the time I was a little kid, dressing up and singing along with Michael Jackson songs.
It's really hard to find a love song that is real. That's when you really strike a chord with somebody, when you dig in deep and grab a hold.

'The Last Five Years' is this quintessential piece, and every song is an actor's song, and every song is incredibly difficult and incredibly powerful and incredibly amazing. It was one of those things in college where, like, you gauged how good you w...
