I grew up around animals [seven horses, dogs and now a pet goldfish named Leila] and I'm rebelling against them not having a natural existence.

Acting kind of chose me.

My dad is a pilot so I think I was born with the travel bug.

Mom worked with autistic children.

My first audition was the worst I have ever done, ever.

I was a barefoot earth child for a couple of years.

I don't really get nervous for auditions, because I just see them as mini acting classes. There's no need to have an attachment to the outcome because it's out of your hands after that.
