Personal Quotes

I needed an outlet in high school and came across painting. I’ve actually been painting longer than I’ve been acting. A movie is a collaborative effort, and with painting you just have yourself.

I don’t even like to sleep – I feel as if there’s too much to do.

A lot of the people in San Francisco think of themselves as healers – not just as people delivering this base service, but giving their clients spiritual help. It’s almost like being an actor, playing a different part for each trick.

I was kind of scared of failing at acting.

When I research a role it does get a little crazy and maybe even a little stupid.
