You program music with an image and then people are desensitized.

Going to the Far East was my first eye-opener to a world vastly different from my own. Then when I was 16 I lived in Paris for a year and studied mime. At 21 I went to Indonesia. I had planned to go for three months, but I stayed four years. I just got lost in the culture.

Growing up I had amazing parents who really let me be creative and free. I was the youngest of three by six years, the child who was the outsider and observer. When I went off to Boston to act, I was very young - 10. And my parents didn't fear that. They had the respect to let me make my choices.

I call myself a playmaker sometimes - but that's just a word. I don't feel like I have to have a title or a job description.

I am creative in my living space - the designer in me helps that out.

I really do believe that if you don't challenge yourself and risk failing, that it's not interesting.

You just have to throw fear out the window. If there's anything that's going to hold you back, it's fear.
