I just think everything is a learning experience and every moment that you have that actually feels good inside of your heart is an absolute blessing and a gift.

I'd rather be a few pounds heavier and enjoy life than be worried all the time.

My mother and I split ways when I was very young and have never really reconciled.

It's not just about acting. I love film, I'm a director now, I love writing, I love producing, I love having a company that makes films and to be prolific and have a place to put all the ideas that are constantly bubbling up inside of me and that don't let me sleep at night.

Whatever I've experienced in my life is a part of my story, and I'm proud of that. But it's someone who wakes up early, works all day, believes in charitable work, business-minded, diligent, accountable, problem-solving... I'm so much about school, consistency and tradition.

People are like moths. First they are ugly and awkward, until they break out of their shell and become a beautiful butterfly.
