I have from time to time been a double A or triple A personality. I'm not anymore. I'm more lenient on myself.

I just want to serve up the goodness and grace that's been given to me because I made a choice that lined up with my passion. And that's what I tell my kids.

I'm a big fan of period pieces, and I'm a big fan of the old-time westerns.
