Gosh, thinking back to when I first entered New York to start my career is astonishing. Memories like those stick with you forever. I know this may sound “cringe” or “corny” but it was quite a “journey”, quite a journey…

I hadn’t always aspired to be an actress. Growing up in Tennessee, I wanted to be a pilot. I was never interested in business or modelling or acting, they all seemed quite boring to me. Becoming a “Star” had never really appealed to me. Of course I had thought about becoming an actress, at times I thought it was quite cool actually. How people could portray the different emotions and for it to be apparent even through the big screen shocked me. But I think part of the reason I hated it was because I knew I could never do it. Hope had never occurred to me. I never truly believed. And that kind of attitude sucks. It does, it really does. And business, I hated the thought of becoming a business woman purely because I hated the subject, hated the darn thing.
