Bring it.
I was completely open to learning about different aspects of,Scientology. . . and I believe in a lot of it.
I think I went through my phase of feeling sort of invisible when I left,my small hometown in Canada and moved to the big city of Vancouver. I,kind of had to decide right there in that moment what I was going to do,with the rest of my life and make a thousand decisions after finishing,high school. Fortunately, I chose acting.
