Thus I feel I can relate to him a lot. I like the way my character acts because he is a sensitive type of guy that is not afraid to show feelings and emotion. And in my opinion, that is true strength." ^{[cite this quote]}

"No, I wouldn’t change a thing about my character. What makes my character unique are his multiple attributes, good and bad. Plus, my character has cool style in clothing, and he is sensitive and caring… and isn’t that what ladies like in guys?" ^{[cite this quote]}

"In grade three my elementary school did a musical. I loved to sing and dance, so I auditioned and got one of the lead roles as a young kid. After doing the show and hearing the applause of the audience, I realized that I had a passion for theatre, and I wanted to pursue it. And I did. I have been acting, singing and dancing since I was 7 or 8. I have travelled to many places in the United States and in Canada for multiple competitions. I now go to an arts high school which allows me to learn more about theatre everyday, making every day of the week an enjoyable and exciting one. Because there is nothing I would rather spend my time doing than performing." ^{[cite this quote]}

"I hope our young audience will realize that there are other teenagers out there struggling with the same issues. You are seriously…seriously… not alone! And when you’re not alone, there is always help." ^{[cite this quote]}
