I am inspired musically by anyone who can write a song that can bring me to tears.

I think ever since I was a kid I knew subconsciously that I wanted to be an actor. I would walk around the house pretending I was somewhere else.

Baz Luhrrman's movie Romeo and Juliet is what made me decide that I wanted to dedicate my life to making films one way or another.

Best advice was from a man by the name of James Dean. "Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today". I read that my senior year in high school and have never stopped since.

Two quiet people are not very fun together.

For some reason when I decide to pursue something, I never have any fear that it won't happen. I think it's just ingrained in my brain. Which I guess is a great advantage.

I remember sitting down with my parents and telling them that I was going to put off college to study acting. I had already paid money to the college and gotten housing. I walked around the campus and it just didn't feel right.
