- Filming you inspiring me.
- Fairly early on I guess I showed a proclivity for imaginative, creatively expressive art forms. I was exposed to classical and avant-garde theater and cinema and literature as a kid and that's where my interest in it was sparked. I remember being fascinated when my dad had the video camera out and I'd ask to hold it and be filmed. Dinners in my house usually involved being characters and reenacting scenes from Willow with my brother.
- I watched my brother growing up develop his sense of humor and I wanted to be funny, too. I was/am slightly competitive with him so I wanted the reactions and attention he was getting for myself.
