Location	New York, New York, United States
Introduction	I act, but never in life. It started off as a passion, a commitment. Then it became something else and, honestly, I still haven't found the proper terms to define it. I do not know why I act. I know that there is a reason, and a profound one; a higher scope. But as things develop, as I grow, I feel I am less and less ready to attempt to describe it, or to forecast results. I write too, again as a passion. Maybe acting and writing force me to face myself, my darkest recesses, my inner contradictions, and everything that, for a reason or the other, remained pending. Technically, I try to do it to the best of my skills. I try to come as close as possible to my standards of perfection. This is all I can do and say about it. Everything else is a matter of course; it happens in a different dimension and I have no power whatsoever over it.
