I'm always preparing for a regular life.

My mom is my best friend and always offers me great perspective and reminds me to be compassionate to myself in moments when I feel low.

I could never have dreamed the life I lead. Given where I started, it's remarkable to me the constant adventure that my life has become.

Of course I'm totally biased, but I think my mom is an amazing educator. She continues to work tirelessly for the kids in her classes, year after year - despite the innumerable obstacles she faces. She is a huge inspiration to me.

I read that when cats are cuddling and kneading you, and you think it's cute, they're really just checking your vitals for weak spots.

Ive always loved the power of stories to transport me to another world, to imagine extraordinary possibilities, to experience things I may not have access to in my regular life - like being a superhero! Also, I would always put on shows for my family and the neighbors; I guess I was an actor before I even knew it.

Candice is the original spelling of my name. I changed it to Kandyse when I was really young and first starting out in the business as kind of a joke. I didnt realize it would stick! I did consider changing it, but then it seemed too confusing, so then I asked them to change it back. Not too soon, however!
