“Getting up early and setting myself daily targets, even outside of acting, keeps me active and motivated in general and thus happier, which I hope translates into my personality and my work.”

To me love is passionate, it is honest, and it is selfless.

I guess at it’s very core love is connection that just makes so much sense you wonder how you used to live before you were lucky enough to experience it.

The best thing about the world today is that everyone is connected and you can go online and quickly find people all over the world doing incredible things.

Science is my JAM. I am very excited to see where science and technological advancements will take us in the next few decades.

I can’t stand being stagnant. Every day is a new opportunity to achieve something, even on a small scale.

One of the most empowering things about being a self-employed actor is also one of the hardest things; I get to set my own goals.

You can’t truly love someone if you also love yourself, just as you can’t love someone if you are not honest with them and they with you – otherwise it’s just infatuation and desire.

Medical science in particular will get exponentially better, especially once computers will be powerful enough to digitally simulate entire human brains, meaning medical experiments that would normally take years can be digitally run taking only hours.

For the longest time I have had so much belief and confidence in myself, which as an actor you need, because the entertainment industry is incredible competitive, brutal, and unpredictable just when you start to think you know what’s going on.

If you lack vulnerability then you are not being truthful to yourself.

I don’t think I can get anywhere near to fully describing what love is.

As an actor in-between jobs, it can be hard to stay motivated when you feel like you future is always in someone else’s hands. You are always waiting for someone to look at you and say “YES.”

I am very lucky to live in California, which is not only filled with very entrepreneurial people who don’t wait around for success, but who make their own.

To me love is passionate, it is honest, and it is selfless. Love is willing to completely give up your life for someone, to make sacrifices and put them first.

Successful people inspire me, and I don’t mean just in their career but people who have amazing families, or who have made a difference, or followed their dreams.

People who have come from nothing and started their own business or opened up a whole new niche in a particular industry, they truly inspire me.

For modelling, you have to be such a strong person in a way – or seen to be a strong person, do you know what I mean? But in acting you have to get in touch with all the vulnerability that you carry.

And what I love is that it’s such a creative process, with a bunch of people, and I wanted that more, which is how the acting thing came about.

For modeling, I was always creating characters. I dress like a tomboy. So, when I’d go into a shoot, there’d be all these dresses, and I’d say to myself, ‘Okay, this isn’t me. It’s somebody else. So, who is this person?’ Acting is the next level of that.

To be supportive of myself, I have to go with what I want to do. I started acting and I was so mesmerized.

If pity was always equally alive and acting in all individuals and in all circumstances, we could do away with moral. Unfortunately, it is not compassion, but rather it’s contrary, selfishness, that act most strongly in us.

I feel blessed to have had the accumulation of life experiences that I’ve had, life experience just adds to the depths of a persons richness, as with acting!

Sometime in my second year at Brown [University], I took an acting class. And the lightbulb went off for me. I fell in love with it. I realized that everything I was afraid of about myself, all my fears, could be used in that world.

I was drawn into acting due to the fact that I could express myself better.
