“I went to a college in New York called New Paltz. I studied theater there for four years.”

I think people should be proud of the work they do, whatever it is. I have this other arty side that loves creating homes.

There are some people who’re all doctors. Is it genetic?

I was born and raised in New York, but my family on both sides is of Italian descent.

I don’t look at her like she’s a bad girl. She just misunderstood sometime, she’s a little troubled, she’s a little dysfunctional. She’s a survivor.

Since the age of four, I’ve been exploring what I can do with the written word.
