Politics, where fat, bald, disagreeable men, unable to be candidates themselves, teach a president how to act on a public stage.
In sum, thought and reflection have been rendered thoroughly pointless by the circumstances in which modern men and women live and act.
Good acting is thinking in front of the camera. I just do that and apply a sense of humor to it. You have to trust the audience to get it.

We are all trying to balance our careers and children and give as much of ourselves and our time to them. You work and have a husband, and projects, and friends. It is a balancing act.
Photography is a hobby born out of my time in undergrad at USC. It is more of a pleasurable hobby, a stress reliever. I don't consider it a professional endeavor like acting or directing.
