"For the longest time I have been torn between corporate and entertainment ... knowing that entertainment is my first love, but also having corporate really paying the bills."

"You know what's great about acting? It allows you to be an entrepreneur because when you are waiting in the green room to do your scenes you are writing a business proposal."
