My biggest accomplishment was playing "Lark" on the daytime drama Port Charles because it was the most regular acting job I have had, and I had to step in and fill someone else's shoes. ↗

I don't remember a time when I wasn't acting. I have taken time off to figure out if it's what I really want to do, and it is. The only other job I'd want is to be a psychologist, as I spend most of my time analyzing people and emotions. ↗

Art, especially the stage, is an area where it is impossible to walk without stumbling.

I think substitution is a huge part of acting, but I don't personalise my work that much. ↗
