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.

I started playing piano when I was around four; thats my first passion.

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.

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

William Shakespeare was a brilliant writer and he only wrote the truth. So, if I dont believe it, I have to work really hard to see what that truth is so that I do; thats the only way I can make it believable for the audience.

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

I wanted to become an actor and I knew that if I was really going to do it, I needed the training. I was not one of those people that was like, "I got it." I was like, "No, I don't have it yet. I need work. I need help fixing myself."
