To be honest, I wasn't a sci-fi geek at all. But I do love a good sci-fi film, especially one that can really take you away.

This is what I believe about performing: There is no reason to be on stage - there is no reason to be there - if you're not going to put all your baggage somewhere else and just be honest. Whatever you're doing - screw it up, do great - just be there, and be honest. That's the most important thing.
