2 Amazing

  • 1. I have a ridiculous fear of sharks but I'd jump in the water in a second for an amazing role.
  • 2. I always knew that St. Jude was an amazing organization but meeting the kids and seeing how the hospital works first hand was truly beautiful. It doesn't feel like a regular hospital all dreary and sad. It's a colorful beautiful comfortable fun place to live and the energy is wonderful.

And I got kind of – it's not self-esteem or whatever or anger toward myself – but disappointed in myself that I hadn't been challenging myself to learn musically.
  • 3. I think a certain amount of anger has been a fuel of mine if you want – but also some sort of sadness and plain mischief of course.
