You know, I think where I am today would not have been possible without the support and encouragement I’ve gotten from my parents.
Living in Ottawa in my younger years, my dad used to drive me five hours to Toronto for a five-minute audition, and then drive back. I am an actor, my brother is an actor, so between the two of us, my dad would be in Toronto three times a week, which isn’t easy for someone with a household of six to look after.
The award, for me, was something I could give to them. It’s one of those things when you realize it’s all worth it, and I thank you and for this. So let’s go back to where and how it all began for you.
You grew up in Ottawa, in an environment where there weren’t so many people around you from your culture.
In a third world country, entertainment isn’t a priority where people are just trying to live day-to-day and make enough money to keep their homes, so they tried to give their town a little entertainment.
Our parents were raised with that kind of mentality. There was a certain point in time when you knew you needed to actualize your desire to become an actress.
Why do you feel your family was so supportive of you in this manner?
The epiphany you had during the Nelly Furtado concert changed your attitude, and clearly changed your destiny from that point forward. When I moved to Toronto, they were my family, they were my friends.It was there that I did my school and where I had my job.
