I joined an acting class in my junior year in high school. I'd always wanted to try it.

My dad wanted to name me after Rainier Maria Rilke, the poet.

I think God has a tremendous sense of humor.

I think meditation helps greatly with creativity. If it's a pure expression of yourself no matter what it is or what medium, it's going to shine. It's going to resonate.

I came to realize I did believe in God. I couldn't conceive of a universe without someone overseeing it in a compassionate way.

I think creative blocks come from people's life journeys. If you don't know who you are or what you're about or what you believe in it's really pretty impossible to be creative.

Creativity is absolutely for everyone. I firmly believe this. I think if you're the driest accountant with the plastic pocket pen protector it's in how you interact with the world. There is artistry in everything that we do and there is expression in everything that we do.
