I think as working actors, it's like sales. You're only as good as your last sale, so you put your all into something and you just hope that from that you can get your next job.

I always had a weight issue since I was a young kid.

Anytime where you're challenged, physically or mentally, you rise to the occasion in different ways.

I was raised by a single mother.

I believe that it is higher education's purpose and calling to keep open the door to the American dream.

As a younger actor, my motivation may have been 'Do you want that job or don't you?' Now it's 'Do you want to look like crap on film?'

Beauty arises out of human inspiration.

My hope is that each of the villains I write will have his or her own motivation that readers can understand, whether they agree or disagree.
