I pretty much have made a career out of playing real life people.

Sometimes you have to get to the heart of a character through your heart. Your own heart. And it's what makes us similar and what makes us different.

I can remember crying on the set of Beverly Hills 90210 after being released from the show a few years ago

I wouldn't change my past for anything, because I think it's made me who I am. I'm so enormously grateful for all that I have in my life.

One thing I've learned: You never know where life is taking you, but it's taking you.

I never know what my next thing is going to be, and I'm not out there specifically searching for one thing in particular. I'm just looking for something that's new and different. It could be a drama or a comedy, I just want to challenge myself and work with people that inspire me.

As a producer, you really have - you're able to hand-pick all the talent that you want to be surrounded with.
