I've actually done three pilots for Disney. I met with the network when I was 16 years old and had just started acting. I would fly to Los Angeles to film pilots, then fly back to Dallas, where I grew up.

Everyone has those times when you feel like you don't fit in. Everyone struggles to a certain extent with being cool and popular, but I never really let it affect me. I played sports and did theater, and school was really important to me. I had fun in high school.

I was trained as a dramatic actor. I'm really excited to do some more dramatic stuff.

When I was younger, I always was like, 'I want to be a serious actor.' I wasn't interested in doing a Disney show or a Nick show. But here I am, and it's great.

People who call themselves actors and can't ever get work; they do need to get another profession.

Time flies really quickly. It feels like only a few months ago that I was traded over here and started my career as a Cub in 2013.

I am very lucky that I get to go to work and laugh all day for my day job, and then go home and torture my artistic self.

An entrepreneur assumes the risk and is dedicated and committed to the success of whatever he or she undertakes.
