I was definitely a thespian of sorts in elementary school. I went to a real small private school and every year I participated in the talent shows and the school plays, all of 'em.

I was been raised to believe I was an artist. I believed what my parents said and fulfilled it, like a prophecy.

During those formative times, I really didn't know what was going on, and I was sort of torn in a thousand different directions with how I felt about what I was doing.

You can pout about the way the world is as long as you want, but that's not going to change it. You've got to figure it out.

I would die to record in space. That would be the coolest. If I got the option of, going into outer space and hanging out there for a day, and then coming back home and dying the next day, or just waiting around to see if there's any opportunity for the technology to develop so that I might experience outer space sometime in the future, I would probably take the ride today and die tomorrow. I'd be happy just hanging out between the moon and the Earth, getting a view.

I've learned that I shouldn't shrink from success. Though honestly I thought they'd be knocking on my door years ago.
