I want in 40 years to still be acting and to more than anything have longevity and not just be this huge flash in the pan and then disappear.

I'm introverted by nature, and I need to have some things of my own.

I was raised to volunteer: nursing homes, clinics, church nurseries, school, everywhere that could use help. It's such an intrinsic part of me, to use my life to help improve the quality of others.

You may build walls in my path, but I will knock them down. then all your hard work only made me stronger, and all you have is gravel.
