Singing was my first love and I never even considered it after I started acting, but now I'm bringing it back into my life. I trained from the ages of 11 to 17.

I am a poor student sitting at the feet of giants, yearning for their wisdom and begging for lessons that might one day make me a complete artist, so that if all goes well, I may one day sit beside them. ↗

In contravention of my belief that any life ending in death is essentially pointless, I needed my friends to open up that plastic bag and take one last look at me. Someone had to remember me, if only for a few more minutes in the vast silent waiting room of time. ↗

I took acting and elocution lessons, to get rid of my Sicilian accent. ↗

It's the best thing in the world, the most challenging thing in the world, being a parent, and one of the first lessons I learned was to ask for help. ↗
