"When energy is on me, I get shy. But as soon as I poured it out, and I was trying to make this girl laugh and that girl blush, then fear went out the window. It was an energetic exchange that was really beautiful. I finally understood the addiction that performers have to being onstage."
"It was the most intimidating thing Ive ever done. I honestly didnt sleep for about two years, and I didnt do anything else for that time. That was my life."
"After my mom passed away, that put things in a different perspective where I started to question if this was a profession that could help the world. I thought of all those times Ive gone into a movie, come out, and the world has felt more vibrant, or Ive had a cathartic moment where I needed a good cry and I saw a film that made me cry or I needed a laugh and it made me laugh. Thats what I get to be a part of."
