I've watched 'General Hospital' for 35 years. I grew up with it. It holds such a place in my heart.

Shonda and 'Grey's' have given me the opportunity to become a director, and that's something that I hadn't really envisioned for myself, other than directing for theater. Now I've got this resume of television credits that I can carry forward into the next opportunity.

I made the decision to go on to college and major in drama and see where it would take me.

My mom said I was not going to be an idle child, so I had things to do every day after school.

I just don't take stuff too seriously.

I like to play the comic relief or parts that aren't necessarily comedic but that I can find the comedy in.

I don't have to be a star - I don't have to be famous.

We could be much more empathic as a society.

I'm trying to learn things behind the camera and what a producer does and shadowing the directors.

This is the weirdest industry. When you have a job, you can't fall into the pitfalls of thinking you're secure. If it's not a firing, it's a strike.
