I think I remember from the offset I said, 'I've visited this territory. This isn't for me.' And then I read the script and I said, 'You know, this is completely something different. This is a whole new life.'

Pray to your God, open your heart. Whatever you do, don't be afraid of the dark.

Just jump in with both feet and live your life, no matter what.

Louisiana is a place that you escape, not a place that you leave.

Don't ever be scared to dream because everything is possible, no matter how bizarre. I was and still am a dreamer and that's what made me become the person I am today

I come from a visual background, and I grew up around a lot of hippies and artists. My mom and my brother and I moved around a lot. We basically moved every couple of years, and I went to a lot of different schools. But creativity, for us, was always a way of life. It was never a job. Being an artist was a passion and a way of life.

If you truly believe that your dreams will come a reality the possibilities are endless
