You need fans in high places, I always tell people. I don't care how talented you are.

You should never be afraid to be yourself, under any circumstances. The genre of cool is fleeting. What's cool today will not be cool a year from now. If you're yourself, you'll be at peace with yourself.

Writing is still on my slate.

In L.A., the waiters think they're stars. Everybody's always trying to pretend that they see stars every day, so there tends to be a false blas' about celebrity sightings in L.A. In some ways, that's a good thing, because it allows you to walk around.

Sometimes, when you're not getting a whole lot of attention, you're actually walking the right path.

So, the advice that I would always give is make sure you've got your own career, before you put your child in the business.
