I went to public school my whole life, graduated high school with my class. Growing up, I’d go to an audition, my friends would go to soccer practice and we’d all reconvene and hang out in our neighborhood. When I would book something, I would never tell my friends. Acting was just fun. I was a kid, I wasn’t jaded.

I'd always wanted to do a film than TV show because film is always where my heart has been. I like diving into the character for a few months, and then leaving it behind. I love the idea of that.

Everything that I own and use are in a carry-on suitcase.

I'm always like 'I'm too skinny, I can't gain weight, even when I try.' I'd like to try to not let that get to me.

Nothing really attracts me to the film industry, to be perfectly honest. I look at acting as an art, and that's all it is for me. It's just fun.

I never thought Hollywood is the life I want to do. I thought acting is the life I want to do.

I had never been to Hawaii, and now I say that my body is from L.A. but my heart is from Hawaii, because I'm in love with it and it's home on every level, from a spiritual, soulful place.
