To make a complete life, you have to live outside of "actor world" sometimes. The education of a storyteller, whether it's on
the stage, or training as a writer, demonstrates it is a very lucky few who get to dedicate their entire lives to the craft,
but I've been fortunate in my own way to apply my life's experiences to that craft.
