Kids deserve arts, and it's just as important as science, math, history, English or athletics.

I've always kind of been an in-the-moment kind of person. I don't think that far in advance or have any idea what's around the next corner.

With acting, I always feel conscious of what I'm doing.

I'm always put in the unfortunate position of asking people to donate money and people I know in bands to play benefit concerts and all this stuff.
