allow explode explore focus guide help journey learned ton wants
I learned a ton from Joe, ... He'd allow you to do anything you wanted in rehearsal. You could do handstands while doing your lines. He just wants you to explode and explore it. Then he'll guide you and help you focus in like a laser on what the character's journey is.
Pretty much anybody who's ever worked can relate to our show.
life religion
So much about religion has to do with rigid, sacrosanct preciousness. I don't live my life that way, and I don't feel that's what Baha'u'llah teaches.

My brain is so anxiety-prone, like a pinball machine. If I don't get up in the morning and focus my thinking, my breathing, and my being for about 12 minutes, I'm just a screwball all day long.

This is a show that is so made in the editing room, ... We can screw around, do bad takes, try things, really rehearse while we're shooting. It is close to theater in that way.
couple exploring founded life
'SoulPancake' is a website that I founded with a couple of friends, and it is for exploring life's big questions.
My whole thing is I just always wanted to be a working actor and I just wanted to stop waiting tables.
