I'm an actor who believes we all have triggers to any stage of emotion. It's not always easy to find but it's still there.

Acting is something I love. It's a great craft that I have a lot of respect for. But I don't think it's any greater challenge than teaching 8-year-olds or any other career. In my life, I try not to make it more important than it is and I just hope that rubs off on the people around me.
