I grew up studying music. I went to conservatory.

I started acting, almost on a whim to help my music career.

I'm an artist at heart.

It's funny, 90 percent of what I've done has been television, and I never really wanted to do it that much. I was really interested in film and theater. What's ironic is that when I started doing television, I did a bunch of amazing shows all in a row, starting with The Corner.

Notes are tricky in an audition, because I find, more often than not, my instinct is right.

Art is art, and journalism is journalism.

If you're going to come at me, come at me respectfully, and I will respond respectfully.
