“What we see far too little of today is people who identify as Christians, standing up to the hate-mongers and death-dealers who have been hijacking their religion and using it as a murder weapon. The question is just begging to be asked: are they afraid? Or are they just not interested because they feel it somehow does not affect them.”

“I want to work on projects that I feel passionate about and do things that are fun and challenging. I would love to do a live musical.
