Up until I started on YouTube, my first love was musical theater.

If you have music that sounds like what you cover, people won't be able to differentiate who you are.

There are certainly things labels can still provide that indie artists can't. They can pave the way to radio and pay big bucks for promotion.

I generally don't follow domestic news that much aside from how it relates to the stories I'm covering abroad, like what Americans think of the War in Afghanistan.

Often you get wonderful singers who maybe aren't as strong as actors, or you get wonderful actors who can't sing very well.

It doesn't come easily to me, comedy. It's definitely not my strong suit. I'm probably more suited for drama and dramatic roles, but I certainly would love to be in quirky and fun movies.
