It's important to talk about loving yourself and looking at your tragedies and the stuff that makes you grow.

I told my mother at about the seventh year of therapy that I had been abused sexually by my father and she hung up the phone on me.

I'm not crazy, but it's a crazy life. I was raised in a crazy family and it took 31 years to get the crazy out of me.

It's always a challenge to make an independent film. It's always a challenge to make a low budget film.

I do not believe that I fell in love with a woman because I was abused.

To have gone through so much work to heal myself and have my mother not acknowledge in any way that she was sorry for what had happened to me, broke my heart.

I have given money to the Obama campaign online and now they bombard me with emails every day. Why did I do that online? Why didn't I just walk into an office?
