The great thing I think when you do independents is that people are really there for the same reason. They're not there because they got a lot of money and they want to just go home and get it over with. They're there because they believe in the script or the director or the cast or whatever it is, and they want to make it work.

When somebody walks into a room they give off a certain kind of vibe or whatever and at that point that's how you're going to cast them.

I think there's a big misconception out there about actors and the choices they have. I think if you're one of a lucky five, maybe, you're that privileged, but most of us are living paycheck to paycheck and we're really extremely grateful for opportunities.

When someone holds a knife to your throat it's easy to be scared. It's not hard to imagine what it would be like.

I am attracted to the dark side of life!

I enrolled in an acting workshop and my first acting role was on the TV soap opera 'Melrose Place.'

I'm a firm believer in taking risks in life, because you'll never get anywhere unless you do, and the more risk involved the greater the outcome - or the worse, but you never know so you've got to go for it.
