There are so many elements and nuances from the books that are very hard to tell in the length of a movie.

It is so cool to have a fanbase that has been so involved since the casting process.

If I can entertain and expand awareness then I feel like I've fulfilled a purpose.

Music has always been part of my life.

I've been drawing since I could hold a pencil. I've got many ideas that are still to be drawn out, but the couple collaborations in development are with other actor/writers for graphic novel/comic that could potentially become a film project.

My journey has been very nice and gradual and steady. And I've found that my development as a human is very much synchronized to my journey as an artist. It's felt very organic since the beginning. And every step allows me to grow a little more.

I'm glad that my journey has been gradual and slow, instead of instant, because that allowed me to grow and discover who I am before I was thrown into the world. I'm happy I didn't start acting professionally as a kid/teen looking back, I don't think I was ready.

I'm glad I went through the training because I've met such great mentors and lifelong friends/collaborators along the way. Also, any training (acting, movement, dance, piano, singing, etc) allowed me to hone my skills and find an inner space of self-generating creativity.

Maybe I'd be a storyboard artist. Graphic novel/comic book artist. Backup dancer. Singer. It would be cool to focus on one of these full time. But I like seeing them all intertwine.
