My Professional Life

"Today, most actors simply want to be famous. Well, being an actor was never supposed to be about fame and money. Being an actor is a religious calling because you've been given the ability, the gift to inspire humanity." --- Sanford Meisner—

This quote is a very good summary of what I love about the theatre and being an actor.
I've known for a very long time that becoming an actor is the only thing that will make me truly happy and fulfill me completely. I have fully acknowledged how hard it will be to pursue this dream. I know that this is a life full of sacrifice, plain hard work and a great deal of luck. I am currently entering my 3rd year of university where I am studying all aspects of theatre. It has been a very challenging and sometimes demoralizing couple of years, but things seem to be looking up now. I believe that this hardship has made me more sure of myself as a person and much stronger. This life is also teaching me to live in the moment since I have no idea where I will be in a few years. I look forward to finding out, though!

My Personal Life

My friends are my extended family, and without them I would not be able to find the courage and strength to follow my dreams. I am fiercely loyal to the people I love. My friends know that they can trust me with anything that is going on in their lives. I do not do this for boasting rights or for my own validation as a person. I am trustworthy and compassionate because that is who I am. I see myself as a workaholic and a perfectionist, but I seem to be handling that just fine! I push myself to do my best work every time, and I never do anything half way.
