Perhaps my parents divorce‚ my first painting or the death of my first dog. But after reflecting for a while I came to a‚ in my opinion‚ reasonable conclusion. Life is a series of moments.

    When I was young‚ I was one of those kids who changed their minds on what they wanted to be when they grew up approximately every five minutes. However‚ this changed when I discovered acting.
