Quotes by Robin Lord Taylor

I grew up in a very Friday Night Lights, sports-focused town. I did not play the sports. I was never bullied physically, but I was called names. I was also an overweight kid. I knew what its like to feel like the other, to feel written off for things that were not in my control - my appearance, my interests.

I initially thought I would be an architect, maybe. So I went to architecture camp and quickly learned that I did not want to be an architect. I was like, No. This is not for me.

I loved theater growing up, and my mom always took us to the touring productions that would come through town. We would go to Chicago all the time and see shows. I loved it.
