The older I get, the more I embrace my own idiosyncrasies.

I've always seen myself as one of those 'show people.' My earliest memories are wanting and needing to entertain people, like a gypsy traveler who goes from place to place, city to city, performing for audiences and reaching people.

I love producing. My dream as a producer is to be able to build a company that can be a safe haven for artists, for directors and for writers and actors to do what they do best and let them have final edit. I'd like to build something to that effect.

Everybody has difficult years, but a lot of times the difficult years end up being the greatest years of your whole entire life, if you survive them.

I don't think Hollywood per se is supposed to be taken seriously, otherwise, dear Lord, that would be frightening.

My trouble is I talk first and think later.

I am an eternal optimist. Being happy is a choice. And you can make that choice every day, if you want to.
