I want to live for my truth, my reality, what is important to me and what I’m passionate about. I love acting, and I love being able to tell a story, but working with another human being who is struggling with the same thing that I’ve struggled with, and guiding them towards hope and redemption - it’s you know it’s a triumph, it’s a story of the triumph of the human spirit.

If one can create a purposeful, meaningful life then there's no room for drugs or alcohol. It's not on the list anymore.

There are hundreds of thousands of kids walking around with a sleeping monster inside them.

I have purpose. My life has meaning. I am engaged in a profession that I'm passionate about. I have some place to go every day. I'm expected. There's always a task at hand. I have beautiful relationships in my life. I have a beautiful home, I go to meetings. I work with others. I stay busy.

There's a fine line between genius and insanity, as we all know.

The weight is off my shoulders. I don't live in the past anymore. I look forward, instead of back.

I've always turned my anger inwards towards self-destruction.
