When I entered college, I wasn't sure what I was going to do. My advisor happened to be from the theater department, and he encouraged me to take some classes there, which I did.
I never found it frustrating not speaking.
When I was younger I decided I'd hop on the train to New York.
I did a lot of personal appearances because I was under contract to ABC.
I may have been lucky with some sort of intuition, but I believe in training a great deal.
The thing of it is though that's the only way people know you, they see you in that roll and they see you in person and they only know the perception of what you are.
