"You don't think about the money. You don't think about the fame. You think about what you actually love to do."
"I found love in finding the fun in being an artist, not even knowing that it was something that you can actually make a career out of."
"I just want to stay here in New York. I want to work in New York."
"One of the best things about being an artist is that you truly have to believe in yourself."
"Why tell stories if you don't believe that you are capable to tell them?"
"I wanted to start working as soon as possible."
"I auditioned and it kind of chose me, and because it chose me, I chose it."
"When I looked at Broadway, I was like, ‘Oh, I'm supposed to work there.’”
"Where I feel like I belong is living inside of the authenticity of what I fell in love with as a toddler."
"I think I would be confused if I've gone through this lifetime not doing Broadway."
"You have to make sure to always bring yourself back to the center of you being an artist."
"Survival also comes from being humble and having a sense of humility."
"As long as I can put food on the table and feed my dog, Romeo, I am very successful."

Thank you village 🙏🏾ART to me has always been an act of service, it’s the selfless act of sharing stories… it’s an arena of service I want to continue to do for the rest of life.
