I stay active and choose to associate myself with like-minded people.

Listening to my fans and seeing love and support through social media from them is what I live for.

I always feel a bit vulnerable when I begin a new project, especially when I am playing a character with either a troubled past or unique personality.

Accepting new challenges makes me come alive.

I try to keep myself grounded and to stay true to who I am through every experience, positive or negative.

It's important to have a fallback and other activities that keep you interested. I started acting when I was about nine or 10 years old. My father was a midtown firefighter so I always wanted to be a firefighter, but then acting came along. I have to have a plan B.
