Starting at age four, my mom decided that she was not going to have an idle child in the house. So I started taking dance lessons on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and then I was in acting classes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and I was also modeling on Saturdays. And that was my childhood.

I found school quite tough, but Saturday night was movie night, and I started to empathise with the characters on screen. I started to get more involved with what these people were experiencing. Film inspired me to do better.

I think my high-school acting career lasted a day.

When I finally decided that my only hope was to go to college, I took an acting class, and once I walked onstage, I just knew I was home.

An actor's life is like a series of - it's like the first day of school happening over and over again.

In college, I took an acting class as a lark. I was surprised by how much it interested me. It seemed like something I could do my whole life and always try to get better at.

I was working full-time and going to school at night and on the weekends. It was just crazy.

I never did go back to acting class. I was too busy working.
