I was a real loner in high school, even though people assume I was the head cheerleader.

At the time, when you're being dissected and judged it's pretty brutal, but in hindsight it's great and - it sounds cliched - you do come out the other side better and stronger.

I prefer to just jump into something instead of put it on the back burner, and I suppose that's how I deal with most challenging things. I'd rather just attack it head-on.

Look, some people talk about their personal lives a lot; I try not to, unless it's more of a generality.

I keep everything that's private private.

It's sort of interesting how, when you get older, things that were once so important sort of fall away.
