I had a lot of time to think in the service; I swore that, if I survived, nothing would keep me from an acting career.

My acting career helped pull me through the rough times.

Still, it's tough trying to combine my acting career with my college career.

I'm still insecure, but when I first started acting, I was really insecure. I glared at a lot of people. I assumed everyone hated me. Somehow that scowl has turned into an acting career.

I'm not as focused on my acting career as I have been in the past.

Hollywood is fickle; your career can end pretty fast. If the acting jobs dry up, you have to have something to fall back on. In fact, that would be my advice to kids interested in acting - make sure you get an education too.
