The only show my mother could afford to take me to when I was growing up was 'Cats', for my birthday.
I was always in love with Judy Garland, and when I was growing up, I fell in love with Leonardo DiCaprio, of course.
I don't really have a career plan. There's no joy for me to just be a personality in my work, and I feel that that's so much of what's out there.
I grew up doing stage work as a child and as a teenager, so the stage is my home where I feel most comfortable.
I just love Bayonne. I love the parks. I love the pizzerias. I love the simple things in life, and it's all here.
