I sort of always had an inkling towards some kind of an art form. I grew up in a very small town and I just figure-skated. My dad played hockey and I was surrounded by sports but it wasn't quite doing it for me. I wasn't totally fulfilled and I did a lot of skating.
I am a big fan of the old Howard Hawks films from the 30s and 40s I was a big Hepburn and Tracey fan for a while and Woody Allen films that are a very different kind of romantic comedy.
