I went to high school directly across the street from Carnegie Mellon, actually, and I knew people that were a couple of years older than me that went there. I was able to see shows in the drama department, and hang out there little bit, and it just felt like a natural progression. It was at the top of my list.

Exercise is an important element of being an actor, on any level.

My desire to be valued is manifested in cultivating relationships with my friends and family.

Parents need to teach their children principles of respect and acceptance.

I recognized that I had a window of opportunity that had opened because of my exposure as an actor.

Other actors are not my concern, and that's their life and that's their journey. Everybody has to get to a point in their own time and their own way.

I like dreams. I think there's a lot of information in them. I spent a lot of time on Jungian analysis and dreams are an elemental part of that process. Carl Jung believed very much in the power archetypes in dreams, what dream imagery means, and how you can tie it into deeper self examination. It's a big part of the therapeutic process.
