I went to a performance of 'The Crucible' at the Guthrie when I was a sophomore in high school, and I knew right away that that's what I wanted to do.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was involved with my theater program in high school, and I was involved in a festival where I could audition for a lot of different schools.
I was in a lot of school plays, and it became the thing I did.
I wasn't even a theater kid in high school. I studied classical piano, and I ran track.
I started elocution lessons because I was being teased, and I had a brilliant drama teacher. At the age of 14, I appeared at the National Theatre in 'The Crucible.'
My entire life, I've always known that I wanted to be a performer, but I didn't know exactly how, where or when. I never learned or studied the craft, formally. I grew up doing martial arts and playing piano. But, something inside of me always said that I was going to do this, as far back as I can remember.
Once I started performing I knew that's what I wanted to do with my life. But you have to work really hard to be a performer.
I got into the studio when I was thirteen. At the age of twelve I was doing public performances.
I performed and sang at school but as a child it was never anything I was interested in doing professionally.
I auditioned for a play in fifth grade, and that's when I knew that I wanted to be a singer and performer.
I always knew I wanted to be a performer. I started playing when I was in third grade, but I wasn't very good at all.
