I liked performing, but not the struggle.

If something isn't working out in one aspect of my career, it's not any big neurotic, crazy phase for me, it's just something that I accept, and that's okay. I'm not going to keep banging my head against the wall.

That first apartment was a big step. It has a lot to do with being independent.

I didn't have to go to school, graduate and then go, What am I going to do? I knew from the beginning.

I haven't had a vacation in years. I'd really like to sneak off and just run around on a beach for a while.

My mother always wanted to be in show business, but her parents discouraged her. So when I started performing for the mirror she enrolled me in dancing, singing and piano lessons.

I had been performing since I was 5, so it wasn't like I hadn't been on a stage before. I was always older than my age. That's my nature. I've always been a kind of mature kid.
