I do portraits. I usually do live models in a class environment, but I've been painting at home more. I really love the human form, and I love faces. I've tried to do landscapes a few times.

I've been working since I was 14, and my father, being very conservative, has always been strict about my having a savings account.

Being a parent is the hardest thing in the world... the psychological toll it takes on you because these lives are in your hands. I take it very seriously.

I used to smoke two packs a day and I just hate being a nonsmoker.... but I will never consider myself a nonsmoker because I always find smokers the most interesting people at the table.

You have a choice. It may not be a choice you like, but it is still a choice.

Even though I don't feel I need approval, it's still important to me to give a good performance. I'm hard on myself.
