Who's To Say What Would

I Came Back And Decided That I Wanted To Go To College For Acting And Got My Family On Board. My Mom, Who Was A Single Mom, Was A Little Reticent, But I Think After That Summer [in The Governor's School], She Saw A Shift In Me And Realized That It Was Something I Wanted More Than Just A Hobby.

I Think I Integrated That Over The First Couple Of Years That I Was Out Of School, Mostly In Auditions, To Be Honest.

What Scares Me? Oh, Now That's A Big Question. I Don't Know What Scares Me - Cockroaches, Nuclear Apocalypse. Fear Is An Interesting Thing. It Has A Place In All Of Our Lives. I Try To Be As Fearless As Possible. I Don't Always Succeed, But I Like To Think I Try.

I Also Feel Like The Kinds Of Jobs I Want Right Now - I Consider Them Aspirational. I Want To Raise The Bar For Myself, And I Am In This Interesting Spot Where I Do Get Offered A Lot Of Things, But Frankly, The Majority Of The Things I Get Offered I'm Not Really Interested In Doing. I Want To Do The Things That I Have To Fight For.

I Went To High School Directly Across The Street From Carnegie Mellon, Actually, And I Knew People That Were A Couple Of Years Older Than Me That Went There. I Was Able To See Shows In The Drama Department, And Hang Out There Little Bit, And It Just Felt Like A Natural Progression. It Was At The Top Of My List.
