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.

I realized that once I graduated from college, there might be a period of time where people might typecast me or be more limiting, and I might not be able to play a crazy character. For me, it was important to do that at least in school.

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

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've realized that a lot of people go to see film or theater with a different expectation. I have a friend who's an actor and I can't stand watching movies with him because he never quite allows himself to just watch the story. He'll comment on the lighting, he'll comment on the [camera] angle. I'm not saying there's a wrong way to watch it - maybe that's helpful to him - but to me, you're getting way too caught up in the technical aspects.

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