Stress is the worst thing. That's the ultimate demise of any good thing.

Painting, drawing - I'm really into photography, I've done it since high school.

I'm a very understanding person. That's something I was raised to be aware of - not everybody has the same shoes to fill or walks the same way or is on the same path.

I think that people vibe off your energy and I'm a pretty mellow person.

In high school, I taught dance classes for 3-year-olds up to 16-year-olds, so between that and some bat mitzvah money, I saved up a pretty good nest egg to move to L.A.

My goal has always been not to look forward to the next thing, but to relish and celebrate the successes I have at the moment. Whether it's landing a part in a student film or having a good day in acting class, I never discredit anything.

What's great is that starting a blog can get you lot of attention for your writing. But it doesn't have to be for anybody other than yourself.
