Painting is a hobby for me.

All the pictures in magazines and all of that is fun but in the end it's all about your soul and who you are and have you connected with the people.

But on stage you're able to just take the character from one point to the end and it's a fluid, organic piece. It's about being completely present all the time, right there in the moment.

Because I've always been more afraid of writing than I have of doing anything visually such as directing or acting.

And not to mean that I think I'm some special person, but I think we're all here for a very specific reason and once you figure out what that is then you're on the right track and we're all on the ride together.

I hope that my work makes a difference because I think that's why I do it.

It's very hard to become an actor in film and television, you have to have such perseverance and you have to really believe that if you have any sort of talent at all, you will find work one day.
