- " When I was first diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, I felt very isolated and very sad.

I became so completely obsessed with it I was going five days a week for fun because I was enjoying it so much. And then with the stunt work, the goal is to not touch your co-worker but to look like you’re punching them. So, I would like to say that I could definitely defend myself in a situation where I would need to, but I don’t know if I am quite at that level in this particular skill set.”
