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.

I admire fashion and I respect it greatly, but I don't necessarily follow trends. I never really have. I just wear what I like to wear. I really like colors, and there are some things I wear and don't care what anybody says about it being in style or not. I wear it anyway.

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