Im a songwriter and Id love to make that a part of my career.

William Shakespeare was a brilliant writer and he only wrote the truth. So, if I dont believe it, I have to work really hard to see what that truth is so that I do thats the only way I can make it believable for the audience.

My thing is that if you don't really connect to something or see that it's going to be something you're going to be proud of, I wouldn't do it.

Shakespeare teaches you how to act. You come out of this process as a better actor. It's just the nature of the words he writes.

[In New York,] when you say you're an actor, there's a certain level of respect that goes with that.

One day I'm not busy at all the next day I have work for months - that's kind of the way it works!

The directors were often really nice and I was well behaved, so I would just sit there in rehearsal. That allowed me to see the process - not just the result, the red carpet, all of the wonderful, fun things that happen afterwards - the nuts and bolts, the nitty-gritty, Let's try to build this character from the page, tech rehearsals.

I admire fashion and I respect it greatly, but I don't necessarily follow trends. I never really have. I just wear what I like to wear. I really like colors, and there are some things I wear and don't care what anybody says about it being in style or not. I wear it anyway.

I realized that once I graduated from college, there might be a period of time where people might typecast me or be more limiting, and I might not be able to play a crazy character. For me, it was important to do that at least in school.

My mom was really busy when I was growing up, but she did a really good job in terms of balancing her home life with her professional life. She basically took me everywhere.

My first exploration through art was really through music - I've trained classically with piano for about ten years.

I prefer theater and film. I did a little television, and obviously I'm not knocking it. It can be great, and it does pay the bills. But it's a little bit more disjointed.

I started playing piano when I was around four thats my first passion.

In L.A., being an actor is like a pastime, everybody there is like, I was on this reality show I'm an actor. It becomes a word that is loosely thrown around.
