Don't depend on acting as your sole source of income. Work nights, so you can have your days off to attend auditions. Have something to fall back on. That's what my mother taught me, and it's critical in Hollywood.

I was up around 340 pounds because the producers said they wanted a really big guy, and I'm not that big, you know! I've lost it all now though. I'm 285 pounds, my sexy weight!

I don't like it when someone can look you in the eye and lie to you, or pretend that they're more than you.

I love acting it's apart of me and I try to put a little bit of myself in each of my roles.

I came up during that time when music, to me, was really music. It wasn't about talking about a woman and calling them a derogatory name or something like that. It was real music.

So it was a thing that my mother always taught me to go for your goals and never give up no matter what they are, and I started believing that later on in life.
