I actually wanted to become a model agent, and went into what ended up becoming my first agency for a job interview. They ended up suggesting I model instead. I guess I sort of fell into it.

Traveling for modeling has been great, but I never really have much time to live the tourist life while in all the different cities.

I had been taking acting classes on and off while I was modeling, so I always had a dream to be in a film.

I never thought about acting before I started modeling, but since then I've been in short films and music videos, and I got interested. It felt natural to switch over.

If somebody asked me about my inspiration I would say that it's not the peopleand it's not the things, it's travel and experiencing different environments.

Martin Luther King and Gandhi were not people who failed in self-respect. They were people of hope and great courage, and their courage was disciplined.

You learn more from losing than winning. You learn how to keep going.

I like keeping an ongoing list of dream collaborators on my phone. I like to write down all of my dreams, actually.
