On Stage

“From the time I was very small, I remember having the impulse to ‘express’ myself. At the age of three I attended dance classes because I wanted to express myself physically. As a teenager I went from dancing to singing, which seemed a natural and logical extension of that self-expression.  Later, as an adult, I carried that impulse for expression even further, into acting, and experienced a greater form of expression. I loved the intricate mystery of being another character, sorting out background and motivation and meaning, exploring my own feelings and thoughts in relation to another person.”
