I've always been a private person and I've always valued my private life.

I grew up just outside of Austin, and my upbringing was fairly rural.

It requires bravery to do something no one else around you is doing.

You know, I've kind of been lucky enough to always work with established actors or big names or people that are really popular or infamous for doing what they do and doing it well, I guess.

I didn't drop out of school, I placed out of it. I took correspondence courses and ended up graduating early. I did everything I could to get the hell out of there.

If you've been seeing someone for a short while and the "relationship" winds itself down mutually but not explicitly, no postmortem is necessary. But a real relationship should have a real ending.

Many states have laws against cousin marriage, which I think are ridiculous - people should be allowed to make that choice.
