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

Shakespeare teaches you how to act. You come out of this process as a better actor. It's just the nature of the words he writes.

Im a songwriter and Id love to make that a part of my career.

I prefer theater and film. I did a little television, and obviously I'm not knocking it. It can be great, and it does pay the bills. But it's a little bit more disjointed.

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.

When I'm in Los Angeles, sometimes I hesitate saying that I'm an actor because people are like, "Of course you are." And I'm like "No, not, 'Of course I am.'"

The reason why I like theater is because it's a long journey, and no matter what role you play, we are all in it together.
