You get what you give. What you put into things is what you get out of them.

I grew up in the Bronx where you would stay up late with your girlfriends, just being silly in our bedrooms, whatever. And I was always the clown.

I'm not stupid. I would like to have some businesses that grow so I won't have to be out there on the road when I'm 44.

My main priority now is that my kids are happy; that's my number-one focus in life. Are these little people happy, content, and getting everything they need? Everything after that is secondary. Before, my work was my main priority -- even above myself.

Even as an actor, when you have a kissing scene it's still weird.

I always knew I wanted to be a performer, and my mother started taking me to dance classes when I was five. My mother is a teacher, my father works at an insurance company. When I said I wanted to be a performer, people went, "Yeah, right." You don't do that where I come from.

I think that's what a partnership is - you take the positives from both people and incorporate them.
