Countries have lost their culture because what they wanted was money. Money became the running theme in every country and culture was sacrificed.

All I wanted to do was write - at the time poems and prose too. I guess my ambition was simply to make money however I could to keep myself going in some modest way and I didn't need much I was unmarried at the time no children.

I really don't like talking about money. All I can say is that the Good Lord must have wanted me to have it.

I always was drawn to the performing arts. I started dancing when I was two. I sang loved to act and loved going to visit my mom on-set. But she wanted me to have a normal childhood so I wasn't really allowed to pursue acting till I got older.

When I was seven I asked my mom if I could be on TV and she said if I really wanted to I could. I got an agent and booked my first audition.

So from a very young age my mom tells me that I wanted to be Michael J. Fox. I didn't want to be an actor. I just wanted to be Michael J. Fox for awhile. And then I realized that he was an actor so I pursued that.

Because of my unique experience as my mom's child the beginning of my journey was more about me trying to figure out who I was on my own. My mom is one of the greatest moms and so supportive of all my siblings and of all of us being who we are and not who she wanted us to be.

Part of the reason that I moved to Los Angeles is that even though my mom introduced me to all kinds of music I really wanted to work on having my own identify on being who I am and doing what I do and seeing how people responded.

My Mom is a ballet director so I had this idea in me that classical training is the best foundation for anything you do so I wanted to get a classical background and voice.

My mom told me to do whatever I wanted to do and don't get too anxious about it.
