I love acting. It's my playground, it let's me explore. But my happiness in this world - my level of peace - is never going to be dictated by acting. ↗

This is as true in everyday life as it is in battle: we are given one life and the decision is ours whether to wait for circumstances to make up our mind, or whether to act, and in acting, to live. ↗

Everyone has a different path. I knew no one in the acting industry growing up. I never did a play until college. I was not outspoken when I was younger and I hated being the center of attention. But I had a dream of being an actor. I went to NYU and studied theatre. I learned a craft. And began my career straight out of college. ↗

My friends started having children after college, while I was pursuing this crazy acting career and living hand to mouth. Plus, all my boyfriends were artists struggling to make a living. Having kids didn't make any sense - why would I take on more of a financial burden when I couldn't even afford a dog? ↗

One of the things I want to do that's outside the realm of acting and the arts - although both have their place in this - is ending childhood hunger here in America. ↗

I wouldn't mind producing a movie with a music storyline, but acting in one is too close to home. ↗

And to Shakespeare I owe my vision of the world as a theater, wherein all humans are acting out their parts. ↗
