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.'"

In L.A., being an actor is like a pastime, everybody there is like, "I was on this reality show; I'm an actor." It becomes a word that is loosely thrown around.

Theater is a lot more interactive, more of a cohesive unit. With television, it can be a different director every episode.

I wasn't even a theater kid in high school. I studied classical piano, and I ran track.

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.

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.
