Fame introduced me to a world of instant gratification and decadence I hadn't seen before.
I went out with the same girl throughout all four years of high school.
When you release endorphins, you just feel good.
It's a privilege to act, and you have to protect and cherish it.
I think there are shows that are long-running and successful, where some or all of the cast members hate each other, but I think it's a lot easier to have an environment where everyone feels secure and supported to do the best work possible.
I never really had that father figure to look up to. I think that's the reason I'm so ambitious. I felt like I wasn't appreciated as a child so I wanted to prove my worth as an adult, as an actor.
