I'm the only child of immigrant parents, you know? So all the pressure is just kind of on me: You have to make it. And I was like, 'Well, let me make it in music.' They were like, 'Nah, you gotta go to school.'

I'm at least getting my foot in the door as far as doing straight dramatic parts, which no one would have ever considered me for in the '80s.
