1. I don't love to act, I live to act. It's the only thing I've known since birth. It "IS" who I am. It comes so naturally that it's always believable.
2. I am dedicated to finding the depths and all angles of everything in life. I strive to understand all things.
3. I am a very hard worker, yet I try to keep it fun. If work isn't fun, you tend to resent your job-I love my job.
4. I am always honest-I may not say what others wish I would, but I keep it real. I'm not ashamed of anything I do or believe, so why lie?
5. I am devoted and dependable in all I persue. If I'm going to do something, I will always do my best. Why waste my time and others'?
