It really made me think about why everybody around me went and I didn't.

The people I went with were some friends I had grown up with. I'd known them all my life. It really made me think about why everybody around me went and I didn't.

I never thought I'd be an actor - ever. I had never gone to film school or done a dance class.

I'm more grounded now. I've started doing fewer films. I've started meditating. I want to live my today because I may not have a tomorrow.
