I Loved Auditioning Because It Was Just

[edward Snowden And His Team] They're Great Characters. They're Fascinating People. They Were In An Extraordinary Situation.

I Went Away To This Summer Program After My Junior Year Of High School. They Used To Have This Thing Called The Governor's School, And They Had It For Different Disciplines - Science, Math, Performing Arts. I Auditioned And I Got Accepted, And It Was An Eight-week Program Away From Home. I Went For Acting. I Was 15, And I Turned 16 While I Was There, So That Was A Seminal Moment For Me. It Made Me Realize The Life Of It, The Discipline Of It, And The Joy Of That Discipline, Where It Was All We Did.

I Just Try To Let Myself Really Focus On The Work That's Ahead Of Me And What My Job Is And How I Bring Something To Life.

It Didn't Really Change My Opinion About [edward] Snowden All That Much, But I Definitely Feel Like As A Culture, It Gave Us Information That Generated A Responsibility To Protect Ourselves As Much As We Can And Also A Responsibility To Hold Our Government Accountable To Honoring Our Constitutional Rights.

But When I Found Out That Jamey Rodemeyer Had Made An It Gets Better Video Only Months Before Taking His Own Life, I Felt Indescribable Despair.
