“Most of the roles I've had, usually the story's about how the man affects my character.”

“As an actor, you don't really have a say or a voice in what the conversation of the show is going to be.

That's, at least, my job in telling that story.”

“A lot of the things I get sent are the girlfriend or the wife or the assistant, and those are not that exciting to me.”

“It's weird how much social media affects someone's career. Deals and jobs are sometimes based off how many followers you have, which is a little sad. I would rather that not be the case, but I understand that it's important.”

“Your mindset matters. It affects everything - from the business and investment decisions you make, to the way you raise your children, to your stress levels and overall well-being.”

“You know when a song has a melody or some kind of element that affects you, and that is what I am trying to go for.”
