I do hope to be an adult actor. But if it doesn't work out, I've been thinking about doing something in the medical therapy field, chiropractics or something like that.

I have been thinking a lot about what we see in villains, how we relate to villains, and what it is about certain villains that we actually empathize with. Like Macbeth. We're not supposed to like a guy who kills the king and takes over, but there's something about him we're really fascinated by.

One has to see oneself through one's actions, works, and mind. Knowing the Self by the self is not as easy as writing that line.

You should have courage in your convictions and pursue what is dear to you all these years.
