I think probably when I was little, after my brother turned on me, I just had to play by myself or with myself. I've always done that. I think either it's some kind of weirdly competitive streak or it takes my mind off whatever's bothering me.

People always say life is short. I've never been convinced of that - mine seems to have a tendency to go on and on.

With acting it's your neck up there in the end. And if you think the director can't help you it's one thing. But if you feel they're reining you in when they need to be giving you some rope, or vice versa, then I just don't tolerate that.

Anybody doing something brings something to it. It's not for me to say if it's "growth". Just by the nature of everyone has a different take on the material. Some people would.

I like design, I like details, to me it is just another form of self-expression.

The one natural gift I have is easy access. That's the only natural I gift I have at all. You have to have that, the third eye.
