Hollywood can jack you up and then help you fall, but it can also raise you up.
I always have my Beats by Dr. Dre headphones turned up high. I'll probably be deaf by age 50.
I always tell other young actors to go to school, or at least watch movies to learn as much as you can.
I always try to make sure that I stay connected to theater so I continue to be inspired. Not that I'm not inspired by television.
I came out of the womb dancing.
I don't have an 'actor cry.'
I grew up with a wide range of music.
I love 'Flashdance.' I thought it was so cool!
I love Charles Fuller.
I love to be a vessel through which characters can come through. And if I can move an audience with my work, then I've done my job.
I really love Adina Porter.
I think Kristin Bauer is a goddess.
I used to love Jem and the Holograms. I think if they were doing a concert, I would stand in line to see Jem and the Holograms.
