I was modeling with an agency in New York and a manager with the agency introduced himself to me one day and he said he had auditions for someone my age. He asked if I would be interested in doing some.

I started working at the age of 2, doing commercials and modeling in New York.

It's not every day people fly you to New York for auditions.

On my first day in New York a guy asked me if I knew where Central Park was. When I told him I didn't he said, 'Do you mind if I mug you here?'.

What we decided to do was to take the ship into New York a day early and miss two ports to get an extra day in of sanitation and disinfecting the ship with no passengers on board. We wanted passengers off the ship so we could really make sure the cycle was broken.

It's a sad day in New York.
