Talk about a struggling artist having to work against enormous odds ... But I love movies so much, so I'm going to do it.

I had my gothy phase, but I was never a troublemaker or anything like that.

I've always wanted to do a movie, and I really feel the urge to do it.I'm in Hollywood - I have no business not being in the movie industry.

I was definitely a thespian of sorts in elementary school. I went to a real small private school and every year I participated in the talent shows and the school plays, all of 'em.

The things that keep me awake at night are things like textures and instrumentation and plotting out what things are going to do and what the sounds are that I'm trying to capture.

I tried to just do things like make some money, be responsible, help out other artists who I see have had a similar path.

I've learned that I shouldn't shrink from success. Though honestly I thought they'd be knocking on my door years ago.
