I was a mime. I'm not kidding. I went to Northwestern University and they have a mime company, so we did a lot of training and then a lot of mime shows around Chicago.

I learned mime back when I was in college, at Ball State University, Indiana. That woke up my body from the neck down and made me realize that acting and communication - portraying a story, event, or emotion - is a full-body experience.

I learnt the theory of movement, which I still teach sometimes. I was very, very ambitious to learn a skill.

I was very adept at acquiring languages.

I used to do puppet theatre and also mime and musical theatre in Florida for competitions and festivals, which was great. I was very much involved in theatre when I was in college.

I learned how to speak English watching television.

I had been teaching myself photography.

I studied directing prior to acting and I've done music videos and documentaries and things that were sort of well-received.
