After my divorce, I was struggling to find my own voice. Through reading, I gained my power back.

Women slave for their hair! It's all about how we compare ourselves to other women, how we size ourselves up.

It gave me strength and toughness because I had to face reality, no matter how uncomfortable or painful it was.

I'm not afraid of portraying anything on-screen

First of all, I'm not pretty. I'm not a world class beauty, ladies and gentlemen. I'm just a guy. I was slow going and stuff like that. I was just never that brand of news.

I think I've evolved into someone pretty confident - in myself and in my skin.

There's a place in me that can really relate to being the underdog. I'm always fighting to overcome the obstacle. I can really understand what's that about.
