Rich Aurelia was my favorite growing up.

Taylor Swift is cool. And I like her music. She's a great performer, and she's fun to listen to at times.

Honestly I'm excited for whatever team wants to draft me, and I'm excited to make an impact right away.

I think I'm a face of a franchise. I can make an impact.

I'm treating country music like it's a sport. I'm looking at where my competition is and realized I needed to work on my songwriting.

My teachers encouraged me to audition for some professional work during our summer vacation. I landed my first job. It was for the National Theatre Company's Mimika Pantomime troupe. I ended up touring with them for the next two years.

My belief is that if I can achieve that level of entertainment by making the audience happy or sad or angry, then I have succeeded as an actor and have done my job. The profits and the fame as an actor will eventually surface, but first and foremost comes the work as an actor.

With the theatre, your whole day is geared towards the evening's show, and that's the job. People usually go to work about 9 and come home around 5, or maybe 7.
