Q: Who are you?
A: I’m a bitch, I’m a lover, I’m a child, I’m a mother, I’m a sinner, I’m a saint, and I do not feel ashamed. I’m your hell, I’m your dream, I’m nothing in between. You know you wouldn’t want it any other way

Q: What are you working on right now?

Q: What are you working on next?
A: I wrote a short film that I’m hoping to direct next year and I am developing a feature as well.

Q: What is the best story from a set or performance?
A: I was dancing in the crowd at a show during a festival, it was summer so it was still light out, and I kept thinking the singer was looking straight at me but thought “nah that’s impossible” but after the show I was getting ice cream with my sister and he walked over to us and said to me “we danced together tonight”.  To this day, this remains the best pick up line anyone has ever said to me.

Q: What is the best sound?
A: The sounds of a storm, heavy rain, thunder, wind, the whole shebang. Also fireworks.

Q: What is your favorite part of your creative process?
