I see myself much more so as an actor. Acting is my career and activism,is my passionate hobby. But acting is my livelihood. I was an activist,long before I even entertained the possibility of being an actor.
Lo, thou, my Love, art fair;Myself have made thee so;Yea, thou art fair indeed,Wherefore thou shalt not needIn beauty to despair;For I accept thee so,For fair. [excerpt from "Christ to His Spouse"],In terms of instilling the values of mental toughness and work ethic, discipline is the gift that keeps on giving. .
