Being receptive to what is happening around me gives me inspiration and feeds my desire to create.

I love my fans unconditionally. They have been supportive of me through everything, and I would not be here, giving this interview to you, without them.

A general message to "everyone" on the planet would go something along the lines of, "Make Love, Not War."

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

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.

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

It is important to always love what you do and do what you love. This is my mentality towards my career and my personal life.
