I Feel Very Fortunate To Have Been

I've Been Labeled All My Life.

I Would Like, In The Long Term, To Be Recognized As A Writer-director-actor.

Becoming An Actor Wasn’t A Choice – It Was Something I Was Forced Into. At 3, You Can’t Make Those Choices... I Supported My Family, And If I Got Fired Or Missed An Audition, I’d Be Punished As If I’d Messed Up In School. I Was Starved, Because They Wanted To Keep My Weight At A Certain Place; My Hair Was Bleached – That Was My Life. I Wasn’t Allowed To Play With Kids On My Block Or Ride A Bike Or Play Ball, In Case I Got A Scratch – I Wasn’t Even Allowed To Be Bar Mitzvahed Because I Couldn’t Attend Enough Lessons.

I've Always Kind Of Lived My Life To Be As Much As Possible A Positive Role Model For Children.

I Don't Want To Be Lumped Into Any Categories.
