ARE YOU EQUITY OR NON-EQUITY: non equity.

YOUR GOAL IN SHOW BUSINESS: to always have fun.

WOULD YOU... (you know what) IN ORDER TO GET A PART: depends on who I have to (you know what)! Only kidding! No. I would not. I have a hard enough time thinking I�m good enough in a role when I�ve got it without doing that!

HAVE YOU EVER...TO GET A PART or SHOW: haha. No.

FAVORITE DIRECTOR: hmmm. I think I refuse to answer this question. But if I had to pick one who was all around nice guy, good vision, good director, caring person: Chris Dufrenoy.
