I think we all learn by doing rather than thinking about doing.

As an actor, I've always been interested in making sure I can perform the role and the lines in the way the writer intended.

Everything I did growing up was with that as the real goal - doing Broadway; doing theatre. That was always the big thrill for me.

With any independent film, it's all about getting everyone's schedules in line and everything together at the same time and just doing the best you can do when that happens - if it happens.

It's exciting to take control of your future instead of waiting for the phone to ring.

I've seen so many people in my life struggle tremendously to fit into those boxes or to live up to those expectations or pressures put upon them by whatever society's concept of 'normal' is. I get frustrated by rules and regulations. I'm frustrated by things that are exclusive to one particular life choice.
