I never remember having a plan. All I could think about was how I was going to afford to get into college or where I was going to stay because I hated being at home.

Be known as a great resource. Are you an Excel genius? An expert on local restaurants? Fabulous at proofreading?

The more downtime we have, the more time you have to play games like 'Ghost Recon Future Soldiers,' so for me it's a fun way to get integrated into video games and for me to have fun with my buddies and team up and go into battle with 'em, kind of like out there on court.

I had a brilliant drama teacher while I was at Roland Park: Ann Mainolfi. But the school was mostly rich in academics. It wasn't like I was prepping myself for a life in acting.

If I wanted to know what a certain future would feel like to me, I would find someone who is already living that future.
