"I was doing the show The Little Mermaid on Broadway, and I was honored to play the king. I was the father, King Triton, and I had just yelled at Ariel. My daughter and I said, 'Go to your room,' right? And she storms off. Well, you know, being that it's a Disney show, there's a lot of children that are in the audience, and there was this kid just out of the blue... I've been doing the show maybe a year, and this kid yelled out after I yelled and said, 'I hate you.' And I stopped and I looked in the audience and I couldn't think of my next line and I've been doing it a year, couldn't think of my next line."
