Quote

I'm a big homebody. I just like hanging out, doing things at home. I like gardening.
It's actually fun to not know anyone and go out and find friends, or let them find you.

I want to pursue as much of a serious acting career as I can, not just a flimsy overnight career. I take it very seriously and I really want to pursue it for the rest of my life.
