My mom was really busy when I was growing up, but she did a really good job in terms of balancing her home life with her professional life. She basically took me everywhere.

I think even when I was little there was signs that I was an artist. I've always been an artist.

[In New York,] when you say you're an actor, there's a certain level of respect that goes with that.

One day I'm not busy at all; the next day I have work for months - that's kind of the way it works!

I grew up in the theater with my mom and that's how I knew I wanted to be an actor in the first place.

My first exploration through art was really through music - I've trained classically with piano for about ten years.

My thing is that if you don't really connect to something or see that it's going to be something you're going to be proud of, I wouldn't do it.
