I stay active and choose to associate myself with like-minded people.

Being receptive to what is happening around me gives me inspiration and feeds my desire to create.

I love my fans unconditionally. They have been supportive of me through everything, and I would not be here, giving this interview to you, without them.

Accepting new challenges makes me come alive.

A general message to "everyone" on the planet would go something along the lines of, "Make Love, Not War."

It's important to have a fallback and other activities that keep you interested. I started acting when I was about nine or 10 years old. My father was a midtown firefighter so I always wanted to be a firefighter, but then acting came along. I have to have a plan B.

One truth I know for sure is that I am so blessed in my life.
