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.

I'm always preparing for a regular life.

Anything is possible - even the most far-fetched idea can come to being through a series of seemingly small decisions and actions.

Celebrate yourself. Follow your passions and eccentricities, because they are yours alone. You are unique! If everyone did that, I'm pretty sure there would be world peace.

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!

However you learn and whatever your circumstances, an education that prepares you for the world is every child's right.

I find that if I've taken care of myself first, I can then be there fully for everyone else.
