It's hard to have a dialogue when you're name-calling.

You follow any family around, you're going to see elation, you're going to see disharmony.

You want to have butterflies in your stomach, because if you don't, if you walk out onstage complacent, that's not a good thing.

It's hard to have a dialogue when you're name-calling.

I left my family, and I left my brother and sister, and I went and lived my dream. I saw everybody, but is it ever enough?

At this point, a lot of people have made their mind up about me one way or another. I'm sure there's a certain segment of writers who won't ever give me the time of day, hate me, don't get me, don't think I'm good, or whatever. I guess that's fine. It's only an opinion. There are other people who do get it, and can be objective. I could be wrong, but a lot of people, except for really young people, have made up their minds one way or the other.
