Be fearless in trying new things, whether they are physical, mental, or emotional, since being afraid can challenge you to go to the next level.

Performing live actually thrills me. Just get me a stage, get me a mic, and I'm going to be happy.

I always wanted to sing. I didn't know how to do it. I didn't know how to make the singing thing happen.

I'm not trying to prove anything.

My mother is Greek and my father is Bulgarian. I am a first-generation American and native Los Angeleno. I was born and raised in Hollywood.

I've played so many moms, best friends, sisters and understanding people.

I always did sing. It's always been something I love to do but it has also been the most private and most secret thing that you don't really want to let the world in on.
