Whatever God gave you, you have to work that to your best ability - especially out here in Hollywood, the land of beautiful people.

I tell people, 'It's just like a cliche, but it's true: In Hollywood, dreams can come true.'

Know what you want to do, because if you don't know what you want to do, you'll get stuck.

I was up around 340 pounds because the producers said they wanted a really big guy, and I'm not that big, you know! I've lost it all now though. I'm 285 pounds, my sexy weight!

I try to avoid typecasting by doing different roles.

My best advice about working in Hollywood is: Save your money!

Don't depend on acting as your sole source of income. Work nights, so you can have your days off to attend auditions. Have something to fall back on. That's what my mother taught me, and it's critical in Hollywood.
