I was always realistic about the fact I wanted to be involved with big,films.

I was a bit of a show-off in school and loved playing dress-up, and my,passion for it just grew as I got older.

I started coming to L. A. as often as I could, for three months on and,three months off, because immigration kicks you out after 90 days.
